The Perfect Fall Baby Shower Dress
by Skye Hoppus

If you’re planning a fall baby shower and are anything like I was when I was pregnant (especially for you first-time mommas!), you’re probably already in search of the perfect party dress!

I love fall fashion and fortunately for you, the maternity fashion world has some pretty amazing pieces for you.

You are going to see a lot more organic options; in fact, I designed the entire fall collection for Childish using only organic fabrics and fibers. In addition to more green collections, get ready for some serious color! Eggplant, rich navy, olive green, and cool ocean tones are the hot colors for fall.

Don’t be afraid to mix it up a bit. Pair lighter color tops with darker bottoms. It’s all about the accessories, too. Here are a few of my favorites:

BOOTS
I personally love black motorcycle boots. Not only are they rocker chic, but they are incredibly comfortable. You should also invest in a great brown riding boot. These go great when paired with jeans or with a knee-length dress. I also adore ankle boots and shoe boots for a most modern look. Just fabulous for fall!

JEWELS
Thick, chunky jewelry is what it’s all about. Oversized jewels and heavy chains are oh-so-hot this fall.

TOTES
Add a jolt of color with an ultra-bright shoulder tote.

Pair a lime green bag with a sleek black dress and boots, and you are one haute momma this fall!

Don’t stress about it (easy for me to say, right?!). I know you are going to find the perfect baby shower dress. Stay true to yourself and remember that only you know what makes you look and feel amazing. Follow that instinct; it’s usually right!
