Those of us who are pregnant or nursing are going to have a harder time than most partaking in the colorblocking trend this spring. While the spring collections are chocked full of bright, bold pieces with contrasting colors, the maternity collections are, well, less so. Being that I will not likely be able to shimmy into one of Victoria Beckham’s delectable color-blocked sheaths come the warm weather, and being that Posh failed to incorporate nursing access into said sheaths anyway, I’ve compiled a short list of the spring colorblocked dresses available to those of us whom Posh has blatantly ignored, i.e., both the pregnant and the nursing.
1. Maternal America Alyssa Nursing Dress. This dress is simple, trendy, but miraculously manages to be both of those things while also providing nursing access. There is a serious shortage of desirable nursing dresses out there, snatch this one up in your size for pool and beachside breastfeeding this summer.
2. ASOS Maternity Colorblock Dress . This maternity dress uses a great blend of colors to achieve its colorblocking effect. It’s 100% polyester and not lined, but it only costs $50. I guess it depends on how badly you need to be part of the trend. Need I write more?
3. Short Sleeve Colorblock Maternity Dress. A Pea in the Pod has not missed out on the colorblocking trend, with a new sleeveless sheath included in its Spring Collection. I loath shopping at Pea in the Pod, but if Posh isn’t going to deliver a colorblocked nursing dress for all of us, we’ll have to settle for what’s available. And this dress is only $89.50, so it doesn’t have the typical, jaw-dropping mark-up we have all come to expect from PITP.
4. Diane von Furstenberg Hatsu Dress. DvF is all over the colorblocking trend this spring and while there are no new DvF maternity pieces in sight for spring, the line’s oversized silk Hatsu Colorblock Dress is clearly maternity-friendly and available in an array of colors. Check out DvF’s online boutique and Barney’s for additional color options.
And, if you can’t settle on a colorblocked maternity ensemble, you can always indulge in a diaper bag . One of those new Danzo Colorblock Diaper Bags is still at the top of my nesting must-buy list…I feel compelled to deal with the crib and the car seat first, though…
