Q – I am in my last month of pregnancy and my belly is very big. While I have embraced my beautiful changing body, I am really tired of people’s eyes constantly staring at my belly. How can I survive this last month?
A – Start by wearing basic black. Your staple black empire waist dress looks great with black opaque tights and high boots. Even try tan or red boots. Also, bling the outfit up with fun colorful and shiny necklaces that drape over your bust.
