#Bun in the "duchess" oven

Continuing from yesterday's post about starting the fashionistas young, going back even further, per the request of my best friend who is also has a phenomenal teaching blog at http://assistingdescubrimiento.blogspot.com/ (check her out), I want to talk about the lady duchess Catherine and her impeccable maternity style.
I am not pregnant and don't plan on being so any time soon, however, pregnant Lady Catherine's fashion choice is to die for. I mean, there are many women out there that are not pregnant and don't look as good as her. My best friend said it best: I love her so much I hate her. Granted it is easy to look fabulous when you are royalty, but it is not the brand of clothing she wears as much as it is the cut, shape and style. Now all stores, such as Forever 21, are replicating designer styles, so there is no excuse. Anyone can afford to be stylish, even on a budget.
If I haven't mentioned before, I am a law student, so trust me I am on a budget, but that doesn't stop me from dressing well while still being frugal.

So here is the lady of the post. It should probably be illegal to look this adorable but unfortunately the laws are different in England. I also have some affordable alternatives to create the same look on a reasonable budget....

I just about died of cuteness when I saw her in this polka dot dress!! The style is perfect--a flowy skater-style skirt with a higher waist band. It accentuates a thin frame while still accommodating the bun down below.
Asos has great clothing at an affordable price. This Polka Dot Skater Dress  is only $30.55. Add a little blazer and you are pregnant in style!

I am sure there are nonpregnant women that can't pull off this dress as well as the royal lady does! The floral motif has definitely made a come back and this preggo duchess knows how to keep her bump in style.
