The Family Groove Belly Files

THE BELLY FILES
MATERNITY FASHION'S HOTTEST HOUSES TALK SHOP-PING

Looking and feeling pretty, oh so pretty isn't always easy when your belly is a-swelling. A lot of times
mamas-to-be resort to oversized (read: frumpy) clothes (read: their husband's), feeling as out of touch
with the latest styles and how to wear them as they do with their growing bodies.

THE FAMILY GROOVE is here to say that you don't have to sacrifice style for the next nine plus months—
and you don't have to spend a fortune to do so either. Each month, we'll give you the insider scoop on
the hippest bump styles à la mode straight from the fashion experts who have created them.

	FALL FORWARD
This month, we are honored to have maternity wear doyenne Liz Lange fill us in on autumn's prettiest pregnancy looks. Here Liz gives us her high five for fabulous fall fashion.


1. Knit dresses, especially, sweater dresses, are a must-have item for any woman this fall. They are versatile items that not only can be dressed up or down with your favorite shoes and accessories, but are also stretchy, so they’ll fit and look great throughout your entire pregnancy.	2. Graphic prints made a bold impression on the fall 2007 runways. Large scale prints in simple shapes look chic when paired with tights or leggings.	3. Wide leg trousers are the pant of the season and look utterly elegant worn with chunky turtlenecks or jackets with touches of fur.	4. Jewel tones, especially purple, are the colors of choice this season. Wear a richly colored tunic over black skinny pants for an effortlessly chic look.	5. Embrace your love of gold and silver by wearing one of the hottest trends for fall: metallic fabrics. During the day, wear luxurious jackets with subtle metallic touches with pants or jeans. At night, a shiny cocktail dress paired with high heels is a fabulous look to a festive event.
