I wore lots of jeans and pants in that color, so I figured it would blend a bit better that way. it's not the stark band of white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125574 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:20:01 +0000 eeh 125574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated the Target belly band and returned it right away because it kept sliding around and wouldn't stay in place. I say skip it and go with maternity pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125513 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:13:34 +0000 Andrea 125513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw iffy reviews on Bella bands and Bella band type things so I just went with maternity pants so they were comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125511 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:11:45 +0000 chopsuey 125511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore it like it was a tank top too. Pulled it low so it was right below my hips </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125508 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:09:58 +0000 mediagirl 125508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I'm with you. I hated my belly band from target. The thing was always rolling down and it was a huge pain to go to the bathroom. If I had to do it over again, I would skip the band and buy a pair of maternity work pants in a size up from my normal size - medium to large. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125135 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:37:51 +0000 winniebee 125135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore it with suits even, up through like 16 weeks. Basically, you just need to make sure that whatever top you are wearing is longer than the bella band. I got some in-between tops that were long/flowy and you couldn't tell. I kind of hated the bellaband but it allowed me to extend my wardrobe for 8 weeks (I started wearing it around 8 weeks and wore it until 16 weeks then just wore maternity pants.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125133 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:37:34 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 125133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It worked while I was smaller, but I preferred the comfort of some maternity pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125132 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:36:57 +0000 mrsjazz 125132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore it the same way--it just looked like another shirt layered under my outfit. I'm also in a business casual environment, so slacks with a cardigan/nice sweater. It didn't look out of place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125131 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:36:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 125131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think cardis and jackets (and longer shirts) are going to be your best bet if you're trying to conceal the band. But, if it does show, it really can just look like a tank you layered underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125129 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:36:38 +0000 Mrsbells 125129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a bella band and it worked for me for a while, my office is business casual so I could wear dress pants with the bella band over it and then a shirt/blouse and a jacket </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125127 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:35:57 +0000 heffalump 125127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work was never that fancy. Personally, I don't love the bella band anyway. It never seemed to keep my pants up, so I'd always be pulling them up. I would just go buy some maternity pants. You'll need them eventually anyway, so if you get them early you'll get more use out of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125124 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:35:12 +0000 regberadaisy 125124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw:<br /> I wore it basically as if it were a long tank top. My office is more business casual so most days it was dress pants with cardigans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bella-band-work-clothes#post-125118 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:33:58 +0000 mrsjyw 125118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I browsed at Target's version of the Bella Band... I was curious, how do you conceal it for work outfits? </p> <p>I can def see myself just layering shirts over for jeans/casual wear... but not quite sure how to work in a bella band with business casual pieces. Will I just have to wear cardigans? </p>
