I am 25 weeks preg and most of my clothes do not fit anymore and sometimes I am sick of wearing Jammie's all the time. Do any of you lovely ladies know where I can get some cute maternity clothes?
im only 14 weeks but im showing a bit my favorite it the pajama jeans, yeah i know ur sick of pajamas but there comfy and you cant tell there pajamas at all
I went to Goodwill and was amazed by what I found in their maternity section. Brand new maternity jeans and dress pants for next to nothing. As for shirts I've been collecting the t-shirts from Target. I'm trying to be as inexpensive as possible so I can save more money for baby.
I started showing at 12 weeks. I've been in maternity pants since then! I found some cheaper ones at Burlington Coat Factory and Target. Get stuff you can wear over and over. I bought two pair of khakis, a pair of jeans, and two pair of nice slacks for work. That should tide me over until the little one shows up. I also bought a really cute black maternity skirt that I wear a lot while it's still warm and I'm excited to wear the leggings that I bought too, it's just too warm here still.

Goodwill and thrift stores, definitely. I just got a pair of Gap dress pants for $2, and I spent about $50 on other stuff (two pairs of jeans, two pairs of black dress pants, 7 shirts, most of the stuff is Motherhood). I've picked up a few clearance things at Target and Old Navy, and I've picked up some non-mat shirts and dresses that are cut longer and flowier in bigger sizes at Marshall's. You just have to keep going back to check and I wouldn't expect to hit the jackpot at any one place unless you want to pay more money. The only thing I haven't been able to find for a decent price anywhere is a pair of khaki pants for work, so I think I'm gonna have to break down and buy them at Target or Old Navy.
Also, you may want to ask around and see if any women you know are planning on tossing stuff. I got a huge trash bag full of clothes from a woman I work with. Not all fit, but a lot did or will once I get bigger.
I recently had a $600 trip to Destination Maternity, courtesy of my generous mother, but if I had not had that, I would have gone to Clothes Mentor. It's a second hand clothing store (like Plato's Closet) that carries half maternity clothes, half plus sizes.
I had to pick up a few items from there last pregnancy, and got some really great brands like Motherhood Maternity, that lasted even past the pregnancy. The plus side to that was also that I was able to cash in the maternity clothes that I bought but didn't like from that pregnancy in addition to the clothes that I bought there. I got $70 back that day, and treated myself.
it really all depends on your price range. There are tons of online boutiques with cute things, and The Loft has an Online only maternity section. (those are pricey for me )
Personally I love Target, they have some really cute things. I myself have to go down there soon because my jeans dont fit and I've been wearing legging-pants for ever and i too am sooo sick of it.
surprisingly Burlington Coat Factory i got cute Maternity tanks for $3.99 and their jeans are like $10.99 and $14.99

The store.
Sorry I couldn't help myself. I've gotten stuff from Old Navy, Motherhood, and Target.

Kohls, Target, thrift stores, Ingrid and Isabelle (a website). These are just a few places.
There's this thing called the internet...
Totally jealous because there's no Burlington around here
