Jennifer Garner avoids looking allover round by pairing her voluminous Stella McCartney blouse with straight-leg jeans.
Your Style Secrets
1. When dressing up, wear bottoms that rise over your belly for the smoothest lines under tops.
2. Go for clothing basics, but make a statement with jewelry like bold necklaces or cocktail rings, which can be trotted out postpregnancy too.
3. Don't spend a fortune on maternity wear. Empire-waist blouses, cardigans and dress shirts untucked and open all work.
