MjaMzito fashion 10

Every time I look at magazine fashion pictures I say to myself. ‘You’re kidding! Is it actually possible to look like that every day?’ All the pregnant mums pictured always seem so relaxed, composed and fresh with perfectly fitting clothes and beautiful skin, they always seem…radiant!

You can also achieve radiance with some of our helpful tips.

Keep up with your grooming regime.

Take it from me a pedicure and manicure will never feel better than they do now. There’s something so relaxing about getting pampered when you are carrying a baby, and your feet are so-o-o tired. It will also allow you to show off your painted toe nails and wear those new peep toe flats that are totally in fashion.

Take good care of your skin.

Get back your healthy glow by continuing with regular skin cleansing, as well as eating a lot of fruit and drinking tones of water. This will usually take care of any issues that arise from all the hormonal changes.

Add some highlights to your hair.

If you’re reluctant to color your tresses, add in a synthetic or human hair track, or fix an extension on to your pony tail. The additional color tone will give your skin such a lift!

Look out for new trends.

Maternity fashion also evolves, and whereas we cannot expect you to buy a whole new wardrobe, a few carefully chosen fashionable pieces will not break the bank- but will go a long way in spicing up your look. Some outfits may even be worn after the baby comes. Retro prints are in fashion now—bold graphic prints in fresh citrus colours, will definitely add some zest to your look and mood.

Large accessories are also in!

Large earrings, large handbags…remember for mums to be, large accessories take attention away from large midriffs.

Glitzy metallic and sequins add shine to any outfit. Day or night, silver, bronze or gold will give your outfit a super star quality.

For working mums you can gleam up your conventional trousers and skirts with softer tops of different colors.

Pair them with flats or wedges. For office events, you can look formal with flowing chiffons coupled with a formal hairstyle, which can also double as a look for cocktails or dinners.

Finally—turn on the attitude!

They say you can tell a confident and happy person, just by looking at them walk. So turn on the attitude and step out confidently with your new radiant style.

Happy reading in this edition!
