Style: January ‘09
A new month, a new style post. I have a lot of fun making these, so I hope you enjoy them!
I adore the huge print on this chainlink-print dress. Absolutely adore it. I often like to add colored tights but here I think I’d stick with gray. I’d also wear my inexpensive gray shoes from Old Navy (which I highly recommend as they are cute and comfortable). So things are a bit monochromatic now, yes? I’d throw on a colorful cardigan sweater (just about any color would work nicely), and grab a bag in yet another color (I’m coveting the Get-Up-and-Go Bag these days). Feminine gold and pearl earrings and simple stacking bracelets (Banana Republic makes the ones shown, but I also really like the set from LOOKAjewelry).
And now, here’s a maternity version. I have this jersey dress, and I think it’s actually quite flattering. Super comfortable and a bit casual, it’s a really nice dress to carry one through to spring.
Oh, and happy new year!

Drooool.. love it, i have to get my hands on that cozy cardi and mary janes. You have got great taste ! thanks for sharing =)
I like how the only thing that changes is the dress! I guess just because one is pregnant they don’t have to give up style!
I’d be rocking the first with burgundy, though.
I love you style posts – how you manage to make clothes I can actually afford look dreamy. Keep em coming, especially the maternity looks. I think we’re due about similar times – I’m the end of April. I’ve been living in the gray and fuschia dresses from Target. Have you seen them? They’re awfully cute
I’d love to see your outfits for those
this is soooooo nice!
the chain links are classic…yeah this is nice..in EITHER version!!!
I love this BR dress! Thanks for sharing a fun way to dress it up for the winter weather.
I love the colour of that cardigan — sadly I have this whole small breast large hip combo that makes cardigans look really bizarre on me.
I can’t wait to see more pics of your baby bump ^_^ I’m 37w1d today!
I am so in love with your style posts — and that bag from Anthropologie! (Okay, I love almost everything from that store). Anyone know of a cheaper look-a-like?
These are both gorgeous! I esp. love the BR link dress. Wow, want all of it now! Happy New Year to you as well!
Happy new year, Nicole!
My sister just flew out to the States on holiday yesterday – I think I’ll be asking her to bring back a pair of those Old Navy shoes. Gorgeous.
Love the style post, love the site, love EVERYTHING. I’m so glad to have found a blog I can truly relate too. THANK YOU!
Is it wrong to want the jersey dress if you aren’t pregnant? It looks too cute, I love the ribbon.
My maternity wardrobe for my recent pregnancy was nearly entirely from the Gap & Old Navy. (I work in a casual office.) The Gap’s stuff is great and affordable.
Nicole, I need to hire you as my personal stylist! I dress like such a loser, it’s so sad. I want to wear THIS outfit tomorrow instead of the skinny jeans/boots/black sweater combo I wind up wearing every single day. SIGH.
That is the cutest maternity dress EVER. I’m not preggers but that makes me want to be!
Oh my gosh, I want this chainlink dress!!! Actually, I want the whole collection you made. YUM!
I have the opposite problem as pearllinds; they have every color in my size so I’m having a hard time deciding which to get. I think everytime you make one of these posts I end up buying something. you should be getting a cut of those sales.

Those Old Navy shoes are soooo stinkin’ cute! I went straight over to check them out and *surprise* they’re sold out in my size in every color! Ugh. Love the style post for this month! I’m feeling the gray!
