Maternity clothes for work?

Radler

I don't need maternity clothes yet, but I will when I start my summer job at a law firm in about a month. Where did you get your work-appropriate maternity clothes? I will have to dress fairly conservatively, and I want to de-emphasize the belly if possible. I'm just looking for a few pairs of nice pants, a suit, and some nice non-maternity looking tops but it seems to be a huge issue. Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

FWIW, I will be 15 weeks to about 24 weeks during the summer job, so I won't be huge (I hope).

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I love the pants at Motherhood and kohls. They are nice, but the shirts I have found there show off the belly:)

Hey girl!

Not that I've been buying work clothes, but I have certainly found that the empire waist (sp?) tops accentuate the bump but the flat front tops (or those with rouching (sp!!!) on the side) do not call nearly as much attention to my bump.

Good luck finding cute, professional stuff.  Personally, I'd try Kohl's first.  Their return policy is MUCH better than Motherhood Maternity.  The selection is smaller, but sometimes you get lucky!

Looks like I will be making a trip to Kohl's and Motherhood this weekend! Thanks for your help! It will be so nice to find some work clothes, I've been a little worried about it.

I'm sure this place is going to be expensive (but I found coupons in the downtown coupons magazine), but there's a new maternity place opening in these parts (well, Hillcrest) called Dress For The Nines (dressforthenines.com). I'd be interested to see what they have....
