Does anyone know where I can find suits/work clothes for the post preggo body??

I have been doing very well on WW, I am BF'ing (burning calories) and I just started working out. However, (at 8 weeks PP) I am still 15 lbs from my pre-preggo weight. What stores can I try to get professional work stuff without spending a ton of $$? I mostly got my work stuff at Ann Taylor, Banana, and INC before I was preggo. I would hate to spend the $$ on a $200-$300 outfit for it not to fit me in a month or so, but I need stuff NOW. I looked at Target's Isaac Mizarahi stuff but it is NOT made for curvy women who have a post-pregnancy body. I'm not big but I am curvy. I was a 8/10 pre preggo and now I am a 12/14 (because of the preggo hips and boobsChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon).
Any suggestions? TIA Chat Icon

BUMP! I am going to woodbury commons today and need guidance. I am bringing Grace, and I don't want to be walking around aimlessly trying to find something. What about Kohls? Do they have nice stuff (that would fit) that is inexpensive?

Kohls may have something. I would maybe just buy a few basics and maybe you can wear some blazers that you already own.

Maybe you could try a Marshalls or TJ Maxx too

Thanks! The blazers I have won't button because of my BF'ing boobs!

I guess I have to break down and shell out the cash for some new stuff.

Definitely try TJ Maxx and Marshalls. They have a lot of Jones NY and Larry Levine. If you go to a Mega Marshalls you will find more. One of my friends at work is curvy and swears by Annie Sez-she always looks great.
