Are there any pieces pre-pregnancy that you've made work for now?
"Almost all of the pieces I'm wearing now are from my pre-pregnancy wardrobe. I've found I'm wearing pieces I owned pre-pregnancy but never really wore. Obviously there are pieces I can no longer wear but other things have come out from the back of the closet and are working for the first time. It's a fun time to experiment with new silhouettes and styles and be forced out of your usual dressing habits. It's probably also a lot easier in summer to make your pre-pregnancy dresses and lightweight loose blouses work."

What's your sneakiest styling trick?
"Wearing layers and wearing fitted jackets and shirts open."

Have you been shopping for your new clothes in maternity sections? Any other shopping secrets?
"I went to a maternity section once but never bought anything there. My sister passed me on her J Brand maternity jeans which are great but apart from that I haven't got anything else that is 'maternity'. I liked a wrap dress I saw online from Isabella Oliver but then couldn't justify buying something I would only wear for the next 3 months."
