Summer Wardrobe With The White Company

For those that follow me, know I love wardrobe essentials from the basic white t-shirts and shirts to a black dress, forever lasting in your wardrobe. If budget is no obstacle, go for quality. One store that does the basics to a tee is The White Company.

The white company is known for there clean neutral colours and timeless styles, not only in their home range but in fashion too. As summer is well and truly here, I have picked out a few of my favourite pieces from their range, mainly the summer essentials.

First up is the grey linen wrap dress, which I'm wearing with the black espadrille sandals. The sandals give a little height and will go well with jeans too. This dress is light, breathable and just right for me, as I'm 5 months pregnant. I think it will go perfectly with white trainers or even heels for an evening out.

A black dress is essential in anyone's wardrobe. I have styled this in a daytime and evening look below. This dress would last all year round and would be great for winter too teamed up with a chunky cardigan and lace-up ankle boots.

Necklace, Bracelet, Clutch, Shoes

Another alternative black dress I like is the below linen wrap dress (same as the grey version I'm wearing), perfect if you want to show off your legs and very roomy if you want something loose fitting. Team with trainers or the below gold sandals.

 

The summer skirt! I absolutely adore this skirt (comes in black too), elasticated waist, midi length and linen. Team with trainers and a white t-shirt for a classic day look, or pair with these espadrilles. Come transitional season wear with a light jumper or pair with a leather jacket.

Non-Maternity Wear

When I was pregnant with my first I don't think I had major issues with clothes and dressing my bump, my leggings came to the rescue many times in the third trimester!

For those that don't know, I'm pregnant with my second now and a lot bigger than I was the first time around. The 'what to wear' situation has become a struggle at times, no going to lie! I found it a lot harder hiding the bump before my first scan as my jeans didn't fit very early on and the weather was so cold, dresses were not always an option.

Now I'm in my second trimester the bump is more visible, I don't want to invest in maternity wear too much, I want clothes I can keep after pregnancy too. I am definitely looking at clothes in a different light.

Dresses are great for pregnant women, especially the ones with a little stretch in them or the ones with drawstring middles. These two dresses I own are perfect for the growing bump. Unfortunately, the Asos one on the left has sold out but here is a similar one from Mango. The dress on the right is new from Weekday. (Denim jacket Topshop)


Here are a few other dresses that work well, perfect for pregnancy as well as after. All the below dresses are from Stradivarius. If you want a more comfortable dress with more room and easy to slip on, try a floaty little number like the left dress. Bodycon dresses I have been drawn to more during pregnancy, flattering on and shows off your bump!

Ribbed dress
The below striped dress is probably great if you're not showing as much but can always wear with the buttons open over jeans. 

 

Here are a few more non-maternity clothes that have caught my eye!

Bottom L-R: Shirtdress, skirt, Maxi

When it comes to trousers, I recently bought one with an elasticated waist (shop here), I will, however, do a post soon on some essential maternity wear too.

Happy Shopping!
