Jena Neumann, Chef and Mom

Tell us about what you're wearing.
"Sigerson Morrison flats. H&M maternity pants  (I wear these everyday since they're so comfy and they keep me cool), and an Old Navy maternity top. Also, vintage Navajo bracelets and rings. The bag is from Meche Correa"

Are there any pieces pre-pregnancy that you've made work for now?
  "Yes! Most of my clothes worked until around my sixth month of pregnancy."

What's your sneakiest styling trick?
"I make safety pin darts on my long dresses or shirts just under my belly. When you're towards the end of your pregnancy, you want to wear fitted clothes. Loose and flowing sounds nice, but actually makes you look bigger than you are."

Have you been shopping for your new clothes in maternity sections? Any other shopping secrets?
"I started shopping maternity in my 7th month of pregnancy. Maternity clothes in general are not cool, but I was surprised by what I found in the maternity section at Old Navy! You want to shop cheap, because you're barely going to wear these clothes, and they probably wont fit after the baby arrives. H&M maternity is good for bottoms, not tops. Old Navy is great for comfy T-shirts and they have a variety of colors and styles that are actually pretty flattering, but the bottoms do not fit petite women. Gap maternity had some great non-cutesy dresses this summer."
