Top 5 Non-Maternity Pieces That I Wore During My Pregnancy

I managed to make it until my 7th month without any maternity clothes.  It wasn’t easy but I was determined not to spend money on clothes that I will outgrow and possibly never wear again.  I instead found ways to manipulate the pieces I had and bought clothes that had a significant amount of stretch. I also avoided trendier pieces that tend to be more expensive.  What I will be left with are pieces that I can wear after the belly is gone.  Below are 5 pieces that will get you through their first 2 trimesters.

Now that I’m almost 9 months I layer a long tank underneath all of my non-maternity tops for the extra coverage I need.

I’ve been using a lot of my pre-pregnancy denim tops to mix and match with tanks and as a little jacket over dresses.

Yoga pants are a fashion no-no when paired with frumpy pieces, but when paired with a chic chambray top and ballerina flats they’re not much different than skinny jeans.  I bought myself 3 pairs of Target’s yoga pants for only $14.99 each and they’ve held up pretty good.

Maxi dresses: If you find a style you like and they have them in more colors buy them all!  Super comfy, easy to find on the cheap and they flatter the bump beautifully.  Pair with a sweater for cooler weather.

The idea is to keep it simple, comfy and stylish.  You can glam up any of these pieces with big bold necklaces, pile up a ton of bangles or wear some sexy oversized hoops.
