Your wadrobe will build- a piece here, a piece there. I only wore a few maternity pieces in the beginning- many of the styles now are flowy in dresses and tops and you can get away with non maternity, i think, for awhile. After about 5 months, most was maternity b/c of the bump. Dresses still for me were 80% non maternity. I was always on the hunt when we were out lol. It will be easier when the bump grows b/c then the clothes just fit and look better. However, I'm sure you look GREAT and will be totally all belly and just look fabulous!!!!!

I was at Ann Taylor Loft yesterday and they have a special going on where some dresses are $25. They are loose fitting and have an empire waist. The one I got is very comfortable, and I think you definitely could wear it being pregnant. I agree with some of the other posts that Old Navy online is definitely a place to look. They have some goods deals and run specials with free shipping. I remember getting a lot of clothes from Old Navy online when I was just starting to wear maternity clothes. Good luck!

The clothes looked "older". I guess since I don't have to go to an office every day I was looking for cuter weekend outfits...no such luck! I will have to try out old navy. I thought the same thing.
