Banana Republic, J Crew, Old Navy, Express. It's definitely hard looking at new stuff and not buying b/c I know I won't fit them for a while. I will say that I am hoping I can fit into a ton of regular cotton dresses as I get bigger so I can hopefully avoid buying more maternity stuff.
Express & Forever21. I also have a swimsuit, um, "problem". I think I have like 45 Victorias Secret bikinis.
OOH, I so relate to this! I buy several every year, and DH is always like, "Don't you already have a billion?" Me: "Yes, but NOT in this color!"
In addition to Anthro, I also like J.Crew, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, Gap, White House Black Market, Express, The Limited, and random places that catch my eye.
Haha! I was thinking about posting this on FFFC. I love American Eagle. I can't seem to outgrow it. I'm addicted to the color blue.
I love Eagle too. I'm short and thin and they still have cute age appropriate stuff I think. If you skip the really graphic t-s their sweaters, hoodies, t-shirts, jeans are pretty good.
I like Express as well (again, skipping the skankwear. They have the best work pants).
I used to love NY&CO but their clothes all come apart in one wash lately, so I gave up.
I'm learning to like JCP again. They restyled and have some really cute affordable stuff.
Bloomingdales and Nordstrom for big national stores. I love Anthro too, especially their jewelry. I grew up on Loehmann's but the ones in the DC area aren't great.
I used to wear a lot of J. Crew but their quality has really gone downhill and their vanity sizing drives me insane. (Ditto Loft and BR on the sizing thing.)
I also like a lot of random online stores like ModCloth.
Wish I had a H&M, but not even one near here. I shop Tj Max, Express, Nordstrom, Francesca's Collections mostly. I love the BR Outlet too, it's just that it 1 1/2 hrs away.

I love Ann Taylor Loft. I can relate to the poster who said her whole work wordrobe is from the loft. When I'm feeling like I just can't spend anymore money there I'll head to Kohls. Kohl's can be hit or miss but the prices are fun!

I loooovve H&M! They have the best stuff! Love it!
Best part? They have some maternity friendly tops and dresses there! lol.
They also have maternity jeans; the pair I have are great! Aside from H&M, I'm also a fan of Express, Zara, JCrew, Banana Republic and sometimes the Gap. If I had the money, I would be shopping in Nordstrom and Bloomingdales all the time.

YES! GAH! How am I an EXTRA SMALL? Anywhere?! Its annoying.
I just got an Anthropologie catalog and part of me wants to buy stuff I won't fit in for a while. MUST RESIST.
I love anthropologie, and also jcrew. Not to tempt you, but anthro def. has some cute flowy tops you could probably get away with up until 3rd tri-ish. On an unrelated note, anthro just sent out an email that said they're debuting a wedding dress line on Feb 14th. I wish they had it when i got married!!
Also, I vote jcrew should get a maternity line. Who's going to start the petition?
I wish they had a maternity line! I would love it. I wish Anthro did too.
I was looking and they def do have some tops that would work. I would wear them after the baby, too, so it might not be the worst idea. hehe

Exactly! I'm relatively tall (5'8") and not a stick. I should not have to get an extra small for it not to look like a tent.
I LOVE Ann Taylor Loft because there stuff is adorable andthey have petits, but I am too chepa to buy anything (if I was rich that wouls be the only place I would shop sad, but true). But I love ON and Target. I have a really hard time buying anything full price and they always have awesome sales.
