1. The little black dress (LBD)
Pregnant or not, you can never go wrong with a little black dress. It is an essential piece for every closet, including the maternity closet. Keep things frilly and glittery like Annie for a night look, or throw on a blazer for that signature business casual look as Damilola. Pump up things with heels if you feel up to it, or go for dainty flats for maximum comfort.
