So you are about to become a mother, but once you begin thinking about your waistline and belly expanding you find that you become very concerned about what you can wear. You fear looking less than your spectacularly fashioned self. Fear not, many women know this feeling quite well, in fact, several will tell you that the idea of maternity wear left them with some dread.
The first thing you should do is raid your own closet. You might find that you have more than a few outfits that will flatter your growing waistline. Especially tops, you might find some that should be able to work for a few months before you have to start stocking up on tops that give you a little more room.
If you are on a tight budget it is always best to save up for the baby rather than spending it on clothes you probably will only wear for a few months. You might also want to consider going through you significant other's closet, you might find that many of his t-shirts look good on you, especially when paired with long tights or leggings.
Let's take a look at the what you should shop for and how you should shop when you are finally ready to shop. The first thing you you should do is not divert too far from your own personal sense of style, if you have a preference for pants over dresses or skirts over pants stick to that, and if like certain colors go with that, don't get caught up in trying to look different and choose clothing style that don't match your personality.
You might also want to check out plus size stores if you don't normally shop there, as the clothes will be more economical and you should find some pieces that will serve you well, right into your second trimester. Once you get into your final trimester you might not be able to get away with wearing these as they may get tight, so then you can actually buy a few pieces of actual maternity clothing, no need to break the bank though or buy a tonne of clothing as you will only need them for three months anyway.
You will have to ditch your high heels sooner rather than later, so you should invest in cute and comfortable flats, toward the end of your pregnancy some of shoes may actually be too tight and you will have to go up a size as feet have a tendency to swell in pregnancy.
