Lots of my clients and friends who are mums to be or have new borns have been asking me recently how to pull off a glam look while dealing with the pressures of pregnancy or being a new mum. As a new or busy mum you might feel that you don’t often get the chance to glam up for a date night with your other half so I have put together a simple outfit which will make you look amazing without having to try too hard.
As a new mum or expectant mum you might not feel in tip top shape, or like you want to show off your figure just yet, so wearing a dress might seem a long way off, but picking the right one makes all the difference. I love Isabella Oliver’s ranges and this jersey dress from her 365 collection is perfect. The ruched shape allows you to show off as much or as little leg as you feel comfortable with and the layers of fabric will be utterly flattering around your tummy. For all you pregnant princesses try out the wrap maternity option which is flattering and comfortable. Opt for the sky blue option which is the perfect nod to this season’s pastel trend.
Colour blocking is a big thing this season and your special date night outfit is the perfect time to show you are still in touch with what’s hot. These gorgeous apricot shoes from Carven are the perfect heel for your date night. The bow sling backs are bang on trend and will add a touch of feminine glamour to your look. Wear them with a dress just now and your favourite skinny jeans for a smart-casual look come spring. And if staying upright on heels all night sounds like too much, then pop these gorgeous pumps from M&S in your handbag for the journey home. The apricot toe colour makes them bang on trend and easy to wear.
Balance these bright pieces with a neutral coat, such as this beige double breasted number from Reiss. The colour might be less than practical but the nude tone is ultra-glamorous and perfect as a warm cover up at a spring wedding.
Top off your look with just one statement piece of jewellery to add some sparkle without looking fussy or like you have tried too hard. I love this lace cuff from Stella and Dot. Remember, stunning accessories always look good, no matter what size or shape you are in.

And to keep your outfit from looking too girly add a rockier edge with sleek clutch bag. American Apparel’s leather pouches are perfect clutch bag’s for a laid back look. Idea for a high octane night out, or popped inside your nappy bag to carry daily mummy essentials.
That’s the outfit sorted, leaving you time to pamper yourself before the big night!
