Winter Maternity Clothes
Good god these things are ugly. I have to buy lots more maternity stuff since I had Maya in July and this baby is coming in February but I think I'd rather roll myself up in a blanket than wear some of this stuff. I have got to be looking at the wrong stores. Winter mamas, where did you buy your cute maternity clothes?

Re: Winter Maternity Clothes
that's funny because I hate summer maternity clothes. I am still wearing my regular sweaters. my maternity tops are too long and those ties in the back, ugg. They are not flattering on me!
Anyway, I wore lots of sweaters from the gap and old navy. Some of my regular sweaters made it most of the pregnancy too.
Ditto Cynthia on the jeans. Find a cute pair of maternity jeans that you like so that you can live in those a lot of the time. For work, I had one pair of black maternity pants and pair of sand colored cords that I rotated. Seriously by the end these were the only two pairs of pants that I wore to work (like the last couple of weeks).
I lucked out and only had to buy a few maternity tops because someone super sweet :::cough, Lauren, cough:::: lent me all of her adorable clothes. My friend Anna also sent me a few things. When you have to buy things, I definitely feel that online is better than in store. Other than Gap, I didn't find a lot of in-store maternity wear that I liked, and I sometimes felt like places like Motherhood or Pea in the Pod were either made/sized poorly or were rip-offs and super expensive.
You didn't ask about shoes, but I also bought a new pair of boots last year and I wore those all.the.time. They were clarks and really comfortable, so even though they had a heel, I could wear them to work and not be sore at the end of the day.
Pretty much ditto. Obviously I wasn't super pregnant in the winter, but in michigan it's cold until like Memorial Day.
I lived in the plain long-sleeve tees from Old Navy and chunky open cardigans.
I wasn't super big in the winter, but layering is your friend!
Get a couple of the cuter longer cardis and wear tees (or tanks) underneath them.
I'm in the same boat. I have found a lot of cute cardigans at Target and Gap. All the stuff at motherhood and the other maternity stores are totally FUG! I am getting a good pair of jeans this weekend as the ones I had for Evie are at their limit since she was born in July and I didn't wear them past 30 weeks the last time.
I am all for the layering!
Ditto Lauren. This is exactly what I did too.
