Style the Bump, 24 Weeks | One Dress, Two Ways

I can't believe how quickly time is going by.  Today marks being six months pregnant for me, which is well over the half way point. It's funny to think that it's already been six months, when most times I feel like we just found out a few weeks ago.

Over the last couple of weeks, my bump has finally popped + my little peanut moves constantly now.  I've gained back a little energy, but for the most part have been extremely tired throughout the past six months.  I never experienced morning sickness but I have had excruciating back pain, especially recently.  In my first trimester + start of the second, it was my lower back, but now it's my mid back, right in the middle + it's so bad that at one point or another throughout the day, it brings me to tears.  I just have to keep reminding myself, it's all for good reason + in the end I will be rewarded with the most wonderful prize.

Now, let's talk about what I'm wearing! As you can see, my bump has fully popped, making it super fun to figure out how to style it in different ways.  Lately, I tend to like the more fitted approach, showing off my newly added curves.  But some days, I like to counsel  the bump with loser fitting clothing (at least while I still can). Fun fact:  this outfit + the one in today's post where both photographed on the same day. 

I have been loving ASOS Maternity for both fitted + lose fitting, affordable options.  This pink dress, being one of my favorite recent purchases.  I love how it can be styled in so many different ways + today I'm showing two ways that I've worn it recently.  For work, (I work in a pretty casual environment) I paired this dress with a denim jacket + suede wedges and for the weekend I tied a jacket around my waist (okay.... BELOW my waist) + added sneakers.
