I bought 2 pairs of jeans and some shirts from there. Motherhood was my least favorite. The shirts never fit me quite right, but I do have a few from there. I have a few shirts from Old Navy that I wear a ton. I love them. I've been living in my regular sized yoga pants and tank tops lately since it's getting warmer and everything I have has long sleeves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-93368 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:05:36 +0000 mrs. wagon 93368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiffaknee: still no dice, they are sold out of sizes 2-12 :( I'll have to check the stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-93365 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:01:20 +0000 stiffaknee 93365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Wagon: You will want to size up in these jeans, pre-pregnancy I wore a size 0 and had a pair of Gap Maternity work pants in a size 0, and I went with a size 4 for these jeans (and they dont get all stretched out and saggy, like most of my other jeans) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-93364 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:00:17 +0000 keiki_mama 93364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big fan of Shade Clothing (<a href="http://shadeclothing.com/" rel="nofollow">http://shadeclothing.com/</a>) especially their boatneck tunics (<a href="http://www.shadeclothing.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524445997375&#038;FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306256422&#038;ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395917465&#038;bmUID=1331744369102&#038;productSizeSelected=0&#038;fit_type=" rel="nofollow">http://www.shadeclothing.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524445997375&#038;FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306256422&#038;ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395917465&#038;bmUID=1331744369102&#038;productSizeSelected=0&#038;fit_type=</a>)</p> <p>They are not maternity shirts but since they are so long they cover my belly nicely.

And the few items I purchased were on sale along with coupons!<br /> 1 pair of maternity work pants from ON for $12? 2 pairs of maternity leggings from ON. 1 pair of maternity jeans from F21 for $10 which I LOVE. 1 pair of maternity lounge pants from Gap. I would say in total I probably spent about $60? I'm too cheap!!! haha<br /> Then my SIL gave me one Maternity long sleeve, 2 maternity dresses and a pair of maternity jeans from Gap.</p> <p>I've been living in regular empire waist dresses and leggings all winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-93178 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:30:24 +0000 tequiero21 93178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've been REALLY cheap about maternity clothes. scored some from my cousins and SIL of varying sizes (a lot are getting too small for me at this point hehe but i don't want to buy more with only 2 weeks to go!)..... i spent a total of $126 (including tax) on 2 leggings, a sweater/cardigan and i think 1 other thing but can't remember what lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-93155 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:12:17 +0000 stiffaknee 93155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to say very quickly that I HIGHLY recommend these skinny jeans from the GAP:<br /> <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=65308&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=871404&#038;scid=871404002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=65308&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=871404&#038;scid=871404002</a></p> <p>Early in my pregnancy I bought a pair of J Brand Mama straight leg jeans (and altered them into skinny jeans) and they itched so bad I wanted to claw my skin off. The gap skinny jeans are really comfy (material is super soft), dont sag in the crotch and are relatively easy to get on and off (or maybe I'm the only person who has issues getting skinny jeans on and off). Totally worth the money (and they are on sale with an extra 15% off). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-93062 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 04:37:14 +0000 mediagirl 93062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my tanks and a shirt from Old Navy. LOVE Old Navy's tanks. My favorite jeans are Old Navy, as well. I got the rest at Motherhood. One dress, a few tops and a pair of dress pants. I also recently bought a pair of cotton pants I'm hoping to pass off as work pants. I'm huge already, at 27 weeks, but my pre-pregnancy leggings and drawstring skirts have been life savers. </p> <p>I need one more dress for maternity photos and my shower and I might need to buy another shirt or two as I get bigger and can't fit into the ones I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-93045 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 03:21:11 +0000 looch 93045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Kohls, it's kind of a forgotten store, IMO. I just bought a ton of tops from Vera Wang and Dana Buchman for Kohls post pregnancy, but I don't like the Oh Baby line for maternity that much. I did better at Motherhood pricewise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92699 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:17:05 +0000 birdieputt 92699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pea in the Pod, Gap Maternity and H&amp;M Mama. I live a few blocks away from all these stores, so I like to pop in from time to time to see the changing inventory. Now that spring is here, it's a good excuse to go shopping again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92669 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:56:09 +0000 mamabolt 92669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Gap for pants - didn't find any that fit me well anywhere else. For tops, I actually found a ton at Sears for great prices. I love the style of everything from Loft but too rich for my blood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92649 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:28:57 +0000 heffalump 92649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Tampa Bay area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92645 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:27:27 +0000 mrs. wagon 92645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: so jealous. where do you live? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92642 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:26:25 +0000 heffalump 92642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Wow, that's a lot of money! I'm pretty lucky, we have a good consignment shop for kids and maternity close by. They're very picky about what they take so it's all very good brands and in good shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92630 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:18:00 +0000 keiki_mama 92630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a consignment store for most of my pants. A very few pieces from a Pea in the Pod and some items from Old Navy. I love, love, love the maternity A1 tanks from Old Navy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92625 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:09:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 92625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got almost all my maternity clothes from A Pea in the Pod. I got a bunch of nice wrap dresses that are dressy enough for my office, but that are really comfortable so I don’t mind wearing them on the weekends too. I vary them with different colored non-maternity cardigans. Got leggings, jeans and tops there too.</p> <p>I also got some pieces off Ebay – a couple of tops from the Gap and a pair of 7 jeans.</p> <p>Mostly though, A Pea in the Pod, thanks to my MIL who took me shopping :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92622 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:06:19 +0000 Boogs 92622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was surprised to see that Burlington Coat Factory had some good stuff. I've never bought any, so I can't speak of the quality, because I saw it after my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92619 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:03:09 +0000 duckduckkristen 92619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wait until Old Navy has a sale and then buy a bunch of basics!</p> <p>Everly Grey has some really cute dresses on sale now. I got one to wear to my shower this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92613 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:57:44 +0000 banana 92613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a couple maxi dresses from Old Navy that I love. </p> <p>This one in particular I really love:<br /> <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=79740&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=896494&#038;scid=896494012" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=79740&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=896494&#038;scid=896494012</a></p> <p>I'm gonna head over to Gap this week to pick up a few more things. I'm so picky with clothes that it's hard for me to shop! I end up walking around the mall for hours and buying like one or two things. sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92609 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:49:03 +0000 SAHM0811 92609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides the ones already mentioned, I also liked ASOS maternity and Forever 21/Love 21 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92597 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:34:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 92597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered a couple shirts and a work dress from Dorothy Perkins, a couple tops from Kohl's, and my sister just brought her tote over of all her clothes (she was pregnant this time last year) so hopefully there some stuff in there I can use. </p> <p>I need to get maternity leggings and skinny jeans. Looks like I'll be hitting up MOtherhood &amp; Gap soon too. I also need dresses/skirts for work that I can wear when I get bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92595 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:28:59 +0000 chopsuey 92595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: haha. I'm sure you look adorable. I'm surprised people at work haven't said anything.. the women I worked with asked me if I was pregnant when I was in my first trimester! I think hand on belly all the time and rapid weight gain was a clear giveaway. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92579 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:06:16 +0000 mrs. wagon 92579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I haven't found one near me that carries a good selection of maternity... :( there's one in my state but it's a good 45 min drive away. But I sell stuff at a consignment shop that just opened around the corner (made $337 so far, woohoo!) so I cannot wait to give them all my maternity stuff. I don't know anyone who wears my size so I won't be able to hand them off to a friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92576 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:04:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 92576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yes :( I love the weekends because I can break out the maternity clothes and show off my bump! It's pretty noticeable now. I had to shop for big, regular clothes to wear to work that basically make me look fat instead of pregnant :( Right now I'm wearing a flowy grey tunic/dress in a Large (but fits like an XLarge!!) over my maternity leggings. I feel like a house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92574 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:04:03 +0000 heffalump 92574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shopped at a consignment shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92559 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:54:53 +0000 chopsuey 92559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. Have you you hidden your pregnancy this long?! I didn't buy many maternity clothes when I was pregnant.! Will definitely buy some cute stuff next time though. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-2#post-92551 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:48:33 +0000 mrs. wagon 92551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok ladies, I have been on a huge maternity clothes shopping kick lately. Pretty soon I will be able to reveal my pregnancy at work and I'm excited to start wearing maternity clothes (I love them!). Where has been your favorite place to buy stuff? Here's where I've been lately:</p> <p>Gap - got some great basic long-sleeved v-necks for $7, score!<br /> Motherhood / Pea in the Pod - got yoga pants, 4 pairs of black leggings (all different materials), skinny jeans (which I hate), a few simple tops<br /> Kohl's - got a couple of tops<br /> H&amp;M - just went here the other day, AWESOME!! got a couple of short sleeved tops, and loved some jeggings but they didn't have my size :(<br /> Old Navy - bought skinny jeans but they ripped when I pulled them up, so returned them. Also got a cute sundress for the summer.</p> <p>Haven't been to Target recently! </p>
