Baby on Board - Inside!

You know those "Baby on Board" signs people put on their car, well walking around with a pregnant tummy is like wearing one of those signs all the time! :) Making the most of this baby time is "Baby on Board Apparel" aka BOBA.

BOBA was "born" when founder Ali McEwen wanted to buy her pregnant sister a cool t-shirt as a present, but couldn't find what she wanted. The "ultrasound" t-shirt she then designed has since become a great hit, and has led to the expansion of a great, basic maternity line!

I tried out 2 summer pieces - both were great for warm weather; comfortable knits, lightweight material, and great draping factor! I didn't want to go around dressed in a muumuu :) but I also didn't want to be only a tummy on legs! I really enjoyed wearing both items, and received many compliments on the style and colour.

BOBA sent me a Leah tunic in light green. In the current collection it's available in black, white and grey, as well as blue, green, yellow and purple in the sale section. It's a great layering piece (for cooler weather) as well as being super comfy on it's own, all through the summer. It fit great from when I received it in August (5-6 months pregnant) right up until the end, and because the tunic is flared nicely, I can even wear it now without looking as though I'm still wearing maternity clothing. It's long enough to cover the maternity panel of any pants or skirt, and also great to wear over leggings.

The other piece is the Ella dress in purple, also available in green, white, yellow, gray, blue and black, all in the sale section of the website. Also super-comfortable, it was just as easy to wear as any cozy t-shirt, but then more "dressed up." It's another great basic piece that you could easily accessorize for any occasion or just wear as is for a warm summer's day. Because I was pregnant on into the fall, a warm fall, but still fall, I did wear this like a tunic over a long skirt a few times, and you could also easily layer it over a long-sleeved top if you wanted/needed.

BOBA has recently unveiled their new website, along with their new collection! They've added some new pieces, and changed their direction a bit. The new clothing items are to be season-less, so you can buy the style you need/want regardless of the month, and they've switched to more monochromatic designs - blacks, whites and grays, the idea being that the pieces will work with your existing wardrobe.
