When you first start growing out of your normal clothes it’s so tempting to rush out and buy loads of new clothes but stop and consider- at 5 months you really have no idea how you will look at 8 months! Better to start with basics and add to your wardrobe as you go. My maternity saver, boring as it is, was vests from Topshop. They may look boring but are the essential with the longer length protecting your modesty all the way up to delivery day! Also from Topshop I can’t fault the skinny jeans. They even come in a size 6! http://tiny.cc/qu69i.Still on the high street it would be wrong not to mention River Islands new maternity range. They start at a 6 and do a great range of great leggings, my favourite maternity clothes! I especially like the wet look leggings- http://tiny.cc/NDufM. The biggest problem with this range is availability- online you can access the whole range but very few stores are carrying it.
ASOS keep winning awards for their maternity clothes but they start at an 8 so I haven’t been able to personally test them. They have some beautiful dresses at reasonable prices, my favourite being this embellished jersey dress (http://tiny.cc/NiAFZ). Black is definitely the best colour for mums to be- so forgiving!
There are hundreds of online boutiques selling maternity wear- one of my favs is Isabella Oliver for luxury knitwear. A warm knitted dress is a must with the weather as miserable as it is so I really love this cashmere mix dress- http://tiny.cc/kNtXq. Also try Babes with Babies- they have the best loungewear and tips for pre and post natal dressing, they also have some really lovely gift ideas- go to http://www.babeswithbabies.com/.
