dressing up leggings???

With the holidays coming and a ton of family parties I'm trying to figure out how to dress up leggings w/o looking like Petunia Pig?? I have no problem with the heels its the tops. I have a rather "HEALTHY" tush area and now that I look as if I'm stashing a basketball under my shirts I'm scared. With DS#1 I was already heavy (size 16/18) so I didnt have much to worry about. I'm still a big girl (size 14) but it's all laid out so differently.

I don't want to be spending a fortune on maternity tops either. We are taking my ILs out this evening to a very nice restaurant so I need ideas fast.. lmao

p.s. pics help. i'm a fashion idiot!

Re: dressing up leggings???

I would wear black leggings with high boots and a nice shirt..i would probably wear a shirt that covers the butt area.

Also, on top you can do a more fitted shirt with a long cardigan sweater that you can leave open in front.

I would do a pretty tunic or long sweater with details, espcially a little sparkle to dress it up. a fitted blazer or jacket also helps lean you out.

There are also some really cool leggings with details like a little studs or lace on the sides that can dress things up. And statement jewelry like a chunky necklace or big earrings or a cocktail ring

I wear a dress over my leggings. My bump has made my dresses seem so short.
