Recently I received an email from a reader who just found out she was expecting. \u00a0She wanted some tips on how to look stylish without breaking the bank. \u00a0It’s been over 5 years since I had to style a bump and it was no easy task considering 1.) My girls were 9 lbs. 5 oz. and 9 lbs 14 oz both a week early \u00a02.) I am not exactly petite to begin with.<\/p>\n

I hate<\/del>\u00a0despise<\/em> those tiny bitches who say “I never even had to buy maternity clothes. \u00a0I just used a Bella Band<\/a><\/em>.” \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0I was literally BUSTING out of my maternity clothes by the end of both pregnancies. \u00a0When Anna was born the nurse said to me “I am so sorry, we don’t have any clothes that will fit her on the L & D floor. We have to go upstairs to the Pediatric Department to find her something bigger.<\/em>” \u00a0We don’t grow them small around here, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite tricks. \u00a0I can tell you that I made the rookie mistake of buying a lot of designer clothes with my first pregnancy. \u00a0I learned my lesson on the second. \u00a0Old Navy<\/a>, Gap<\/a> and Target<\/a> will do just fine. H & M<\/a> has a great Maternity line too. You can also use a ton of existing cardigans, scarves and jean jackets to zhush up your outfits. \u00a0Accessories are key here, ladies.<\/p>\n
