Linen Maternity Dress

Today I'm exactly 3 calendar months away from my due date and I can't believe how fast time has flown by. My belly is getting bigger by the day - it already looks (and feels) like a basketball, so I can't even imagine what I'm going to look like in December haha :)

Fashionwise, my new body means that I need a new wardrobe (never a better excuse) - a task I have been working quite diligently on with the help of Mami maternity wear, a 100% made in Italy brand whose collections include everything from casual tees and jeans to evening wear. 

In these pictures I'm wearing a light linen dress from their summer collection, since it's still really warm here in Tuscany. It's actually the type of dress I would totally wear even when not pregnant, but the strategic pleating in the front makes all the difference in my current state - it emphasizes my belly, but without making it look bigger than it already is and making me look like a sack of potatoes. Win.

The little ball shaped pendant I'm wearing is not just a simple necklace. It is actually a Chiama Angeli, or "Angel Caller" that emits a lovely tinkling sound whenever I move, and since it's hanging right above my belly button, I'm pretty sure baby can hear it too :) It was made by "I ghirigori" for Mammamatta, a brand I will soon tell you more about.

In the meanwhile let me know what you think about today's look in the comments below. Any maternity style tips for this mama to be?
