I am 14 weeks and going to have to get some maternity clothes in the next couple of weeks. Anyone have any suggestions on cute inexpensive clothes? Oh an I am 5'10 so they must have tall.
I would also look on Craig's List or yard sales. I found a woman who is about my size and she sold me her entire maternity wardrobe (70+) pieces for $125. Some of the pieces are not my style, but overall it was a good bargain.

Old Navy is the cheapest that I have found! I am 5"9 so I feel you on the long pants!! They have longs and I bought a pair that fit great! Motherhood also has longs in some styles and I bought a pair of jeans there too. I've been having a hard time finding shirts because I am not spending $30 on a freaking maternity shirt!! That's insane to me! I have been looking for flowy or loose fitting shirts in the misses dept at various stores and buying a size or 2 big!

I'd second the Motherhood Maternity outlet. I'd also look on ebay for clothes in your size. I've been really happy w/my pieces from the Gap (and they make talls). They've been true to size, fit well, and been good quality. I refuse to pay the full prices for the pieces though ($70 for jeans??). Ebay and my local consignment stores have helped me find nice, brand name pieces and not break the bank.

I made sweet sweet love the the Motherhood Maternity clearance rack a few weeks ago. Everything was summer style, which is great since that's when I'll be mostly pregnant (due in september) and I found some adorable dresses.
Do you sew at all? There are tons of tutorials online about how to turn your regular jeans into maternity jeans, it's pretty easy sewing and that way you have some that are long enough (because I know how hard it is to find longs, especially in maternity)

I agree...I just bought two skirts -- one from Old Navy and the other from GAP (I dont wear pants). The ON skirt was $17, but looks cheap and is really big, even though it's my size. The GAP skirt was $50 (that was my maternity splurge), but it's SOOOO comfy and fits great with room to grow. Gap outlets do exist, so try there. They're also having online sales now to prep for spring/summer clothing.

Like out PP have said check out oldnavy.com they have tall sized on there and you can return things to the store (it says return by mail only). I've had a lot of luck with them (I'm ~5'9 Athletic Build) GL!
Re: Maternity Clothes
Old navy has tall and cute/inexpensive clothing - I would check there!
Good Luck!
