Here is whatto keep in mind when stealing Nicole Richie’s “Street" look Forty WeeksStyle:

*Layering isan important tool of pregnancy dressing. It is essential to keep yourself cool-looking and cool-feeling. Choose pieces that offer great coverage and comfort.Keep in mind that the better the fabric, the better the fit.
*This lookcan go sleek and chic or boho on the street –- your accessories define the statementyou will make.
*Choose onefocal point element per look, don’t overdo it. Too much of a good thing willtake away from the desired effect.
*Keep scalein mind — Nicole dresses for her petite frame — be sure to do the same. Too big(anything) will overwhelm certain frames. If "big and bold" is on your list,make your mark with a bag, glasses or another accessory.
