I tend to be in denial about holiday clothes until the big day arrives. At that moment, when I find myself putting on any old thing, I admit to myself that it would be nice to have something special to wear. And later on when looking back at the pictures… let’s just say I have committed to being prepared this year, for myself and for the kids. And, I’m shopping now, because shopping early on just means I’ll get to wear it more!

The Bella top by Lilac has long been a favorite of mine. I’ll be wearing this version in scarlet at our Halloween party. Fortunately for me (since I”m not pregnant) Lilac designs fit the pregnant and NOT pregnant body just as well. But, if you’re pregnant take note – this maternity top would be lovely for the Christmas season too!
Another cute choice for Halloween is the Circles maternity dress by Lilac. The rust and mustard colorway totally reminds me of candy corn!

I love this look for a casual Thanksgiving. It has that extra bit of layering warmth that I’m sure to crave about then. Featured are the Megan Lilac top in rust and the Ashley Cardi in a soft knit polka dot that’s just too cute. Although I probably won’t indulge in this set, if I was pregnant, I sure would. I just love that Lilac clothes are for maternity and later… such a good investment!
Here are a few favorite maternity dresses that would be so nice for a Thanksgiving celebration:

1. Maternal America Front Tie Maternity Dress
2. Olian Maternity Kimono Dee Dress
3. Olian Eggplant Ruffle Maternity Dress
For the winter holidays, something with a little more glitz and glamor is in order. I’ll be back with a Winter Holidays roundup later this year!
