I'm officially in Maternity clothes today at 11.5 weeks. Anyone else? I've noticed when I try to wear my regular clothes (very unsuccessfully as I can't button/zip any of them) I look like I've gained weight in an unflattering manner. When I wear the maternity clothes I look definitely pregnant. So that's a win, right? I was extremely lucky as I dug out my old maternity clothes and 90% of them still fit and are unstained/damaged, I will look like a wannabe gap model when I wear them but oh well... So far new I've bought a maternity / nursing bra and a pair of shorts. How are the rest of you doing clothing wise?

I found some cheap pants on clearance at target yesterday. I need to go buy a pair of leggings, and then that's all I will purchase for pants. If I buy anything else it will be dresses that I can wear even after baby.
my shirts still fit fine for now.
I also like consignment stores. Most will have a maternity section and there are actually whole stores for maternity consignment if you can find one. Some are online too!
I'm not wearing mine yet but am close since I can't stand anything tight right now. I'm living in dresses, skirts, leggings and yoga pants. But I did pull it all out to assess what I have. Since the seasons are slightly off from last time.
I wear scrubs for my job, so I'm going to have to size up soon. But when I'm home, I've literally been wearing DH's clothes.
When I was pregnant with DD my favorite maternity wear was from the gap and old navy. I'd just hit up one of their sale days and use a coupon I had from shopping previously. It's a good way to get some deals!
ETA spelling
I looked at Le Tote and then found out you get 2 outfits or 4 pieces and an accessory each month. For the style clothes I generally wear ( barn clothes, or jeans and t-shirts 6 days a week) I didn't think $40 was worth it. It would be $400 over the course of my pregnancy and would take a while to build up a wardrobe. It looks like it would be good for someone who worked an office job, or lived in town and got to wear nicer clothes though.
My original maternity clothes from 16 (!) years ago are gap, and then over the years and pregnancies I filled in with jcPenny and target, never been a huge fan of motherhood maternity, they are pricey and I feel the selection is very basic. My new nursing bra was from kohls and shorts from target.
