Super Chic London Wedding, by Marina Fogle

Nightmare for not so newly pregnant girl who everyone says doesn’t look pregnant yet but whose waist doesn’t even fit into a size 16 dress. What on earth do I wear? And just to ensure even more lost hours of precious sleep, there’s an afternoon reception and evening party which means two outfits. AND it’s in London which means I don’t know whether it will be a blistering 30°C or a blustery 15°C.

This emerald green t-bags dress jumped out at me from the mama-la-mode website. The green is the flattering type (even better if you’re a bit tanned) and very unique. It’s a soft jersey so looks great but is comfortable enough to watch a whole season of Greys Anatomy in. A brilliant buy that will see you way past any formal occasion, onto the beach and into post pregnancy.

Sonya Rykiel Double Breasted Military Coat
Being in London, you need a cover, so some kind of coat is essential. This Sonya Rykiel coat I love. It’s difficult to find any light summer coats now, but this is short so is fine for that in-between season and I love the purple detailing.



And finally the shoes…my favourite. One of the few things that being pregnant doesn’t prohibit you wearing. I have a pair of grey high heeled pumps which are perfect on brown legs under summer dresses. Such a neutral colour goes with any colour, any pattern. I’m very temped by these Rupert Sanderson shoes – they’re not astronomically high, being patent leather they won’t get ruined in the rain AND they’re in the sale. Hurray for summer weddings….

Just so right....and our summer weather is so unsure it does not help....wearing the right shoes..if you can find them.... is what I find makes all the difference.
