hi guys! (and question)

i've been MIA for a bit- busy @ work then vacation :)

in the meantime, i had been browsing at maternity clothes and either found the stores to be super expensive or barely have anything.

Any ideas? Mostly basics for now- jeans, basic t's and long sleeves. but i could also use a dress for a wedding this weekend (i may or may not fit in the one i was planning to wear).

Thanks!

ETA- how do you know your size?

hi guys! (and question)

I loved Old Navy.. I went there and tried on the very few items they had in store just so I knew the sizes I needed.. They have a big selection online.

Pink blush maternity will be in zulilly today. That was most of what I wore. I can still wear a lot of it now bc it doesn't look like maternity. Always got compliments on it.
Zulilly

Also for basics I went to old navy or target.

Gap for work pants.

I like old navy for the basics. Usually the stores don't have a huge selection but I always find a bunch of things that work and you can't beat the prices. They also have some cute dresses sometimes. I'd also check out Macys for dresses (they have some of the same ones sold at Destination Maternity but cheaper). If you want to try online Asos is great and if you spend enough you get free 2 day shipping with free returns.

I got a ton at Destination Maternity in Carle Place. SO much was on clearance for about $19.99. They had a ton on clearance. That was all shirts. Work pants were $40. I got about 10 shirts so I won't need anything for a while. They have all different styles. They had nice dresses for weddings too. The one I tried on was $40 but I didn't end up getting it bc I don't need it. I haven't used any of the clothes yet bc my bump is tiny but will use it once I need it. I got a pair of jeans from Old Navy with a full panel. They seemed comfortable when I tried them on. I went to Target but there wasn't much of a selection. GL

hi guys! (and question)

I just shop at DM... regarding sizing, go by what you were PRE-pregnancy... So if you were a 10 pre-pregnancy, follow those sizing guidlines. At DM they are really helpful.

ON and GAP (on sale) can have some great basics. Tanks, tees., pants.

Also for the Fall/Winter, I plan to wear maternity tanks/tees under my regular sweater cardigans. Should get me though at very little cost!

I have gotten a lot f stuff from old navy, gap, target and kohls all online because the stores have such limited styles.

I find it bizarre that more stores don't carry a larger selection of maternity clothes because it isn't like only one person a year is pregnant! I think it is a huge market that is missed!

Kohls had a small but cute maternity section. Not frumpy at all. They had 50% off and you could use a 30% coupon on top of that.
