I bought (and still am buying) 1-2 sizes up from my pre-preg size. Things fit very differently than they did before even though I am close to my old size.

I bought new shirts and tend to keep my bottoms basic. I have a pencil skirt, ankle pants, and a few other skirts that I rotate during this season. I also bought things I felt good in, but they didn't cost a lot, especially in the in-between stage.

What did you wear late in your first tri? Can you re-purpose those pieces now? I'm 10 weeks and heavily relying on stretchy skirts at the moment!

Dresses have been my go to for work. They are more forgiving and have lasted longer during my postpartum weight fluctuation.

Buy clothes in your new size to fit your new shape. There's nothing worse than those mornings where you are trying to squeeze into stuff that pulls in all the wrong places.

I bought pants at a discount department store.

I bought pants one size up. Sometimes I wore a pair of maternity pants--the demi ones I wore in early pregnancy. Great for things like khakis and dress pants. It tided me over, basically. I go back to work in the summers, and I wear a lot of dresses and skirts to bridge the gap until I can wear my regular clothes again
