ok so i went to kohl's today and like someone previously posted, the maternity "dept" at the store near me is a couple hodge podge-ish type racks near the intimates dept. after trying on a couple shirts (there were no skirts, and the pants/jeans were atrocious), i decided to meander into the women's dept and see if i could find some empire waist tops, or something so that the shopping venture wouldn't be a wash.
I SOOO HIT PAYDIRT. i bought a couple trapeze type dresses (with pockers, oooh i love pockets), and some really cute blouses that accentuate the bump and don't make me look bigger than i am. most of the items were "apt 9" brand. i WILL be going back, but not to the maternity "dept."
Re: Kohl's Maternity "Dept" sucks a$$....but...
I went to Kohl's to check out the sale racks. I was able to find a few cute things in the maternity section (sale). The pickin's were SLIM. But, each item was less than $10 so I felt somewhat satisfied.
