About a month ago I posted our first “Call for Papers,” wondering if the blogosphere could point me towards any pregnant style bloggers who could provide help and inspiration in the upcoming days of my burgeoning belly. I’m glad I asked, because you all introduced me to:
Allie over at My Wardrobe Today cataloged her truly impressive range of pregnant office-ready looks. She works the basics so well and provides a fantastic example of how accessories can extend a maternity wardrobe.
Madam0wl also shared her set of pregnancy style photos over on Flickr. This woman can layer. I am also a big fan of these subtle plaid pants. So many maternity style websites insist on you buying basics, but madam0wl has convinced me that I need a patterned trouser of some kind in my preggers wardrobe.
Finally, the super-fabulous midoritsuru also has a fantastic pregnancy style set on Flickr. She layers, she mixes patterns, and she rocks wonderful color combinations. I love this funky mama look!
Thank you to those who suggested sources! We’ll have another CFP up soon and will follow each one with a recap featuring your responses.

CFP: Pregnant Style Bloggers?
Since I began a baby bump and helped start this blog at roughly the same time, I’ve been fairly obsessed with trying to find stylish pregnant ladies to be my pregger fashion muses. With S. and A.’s help, I’ve found a few:
Of course Tricia, from Bits and Bobbins, Wardrobe Remix’s fearless leader. Then there’s the fashionable Spanish mama who continues to rock skinny jeans over at My Daily Style. And perhaps lesser known…
Juicy Juice, originally uploaded by freespiritjenny.The spunky and colorful Freespiritjenny.
i will be that little glowing tree, originally uploaded by steen ink.And how I wish the lovely SteenInk would have been able to post more of her wonderfully layered pregnancy looks.
But I’m wondering if there are more that I’m missing? There seems to be a preponderance of maternity fashion “advice” blogs — answering specific questions, pointing to celebrity styles, or recommending particular generic outfits — but I’d love to see how real, stylish ladies navigated the day-to-day of dressing a rapidly changing body. Do share.

* We get e-mails every single day with CFP’s or “Calls for Papers” from conferences on every topic imaginable soliciting 20 minute presentations from the academic masses. (Unfortunately, we still haven’t gotten one on academia and style.) When we do a CFP here, we’re asking for your contribution of internet-knowledge, no 10 page paper required. Just a few words or a link will do!
Cool, thanks for checking out my flickr set and including me in this feature. Can I add this post to my vita? :)
Yes those plaid pants did come in handy.
One of my favorite bloggers, Sarah of Girls and Bicycles, mixes style, bikes and pregnancy in the most beautiful way.

Neither of these were maternity only pieces, but together they showed off my belly nicely! http://www.flickr.com/photos/harrisonsarnecki/3672394268/
