I’m not sure which version of this simple sheath dress I’m more psyched about — the purple one? the black one? the maternity sizes? the regular sizes? Decisions, decisions. If only it came with a matching blazer! Either way, it looks like a great dress; full price it’s $89-$98.

Whoa: I’ve seen fleece leggings and tights before, but none specifically for maternity sizes. Yet that’s what Plush has done — there are maternity leggings with an under-the-belly waistband, as well as an over-the-belly waistband, and tights. (They come in regular sizes as well, of course.) The pictured leggings are $82; the tights are only $36. … Read More about Maternity Monday: Fleece Maternity Leggings
I kind of love this entire outfit. The cigarette pants are kind of perfect, and the pleated top is pretty but cool at the same time. As for the styling: kudos to you if you can be that pregnant and still be in 3″ heels — but the nice thing about cigarette pants and maternity is … Read More about Maternity Monday: Bradshaw Cigarette Pants and Celeste Top
Ooh, what a great top. I love the shock of pink, but I like that it also comes in black. I could see wearing it for casual days, dressier days, and even nights out. Lovely. It’s $60 at Nordstrom.

There are far too few cute plus-size maternity tops (at least that I’ve seen), so I’m going to feature this lovely one from Destination Maternity. I like the simple navy, the bit of bling at the collar, and the kind of peplum/tunic shape it has going on. I’d wear it with pencil skirts and ankle pants, … Read More about Maternity Monday: Short Sleeve Scoop Neck Beaded Detail Top
I haven’t seen a blouse quite like this before for maternity and nursing, and I like it. It reminds me a bit of the popular Vince voile popover blouses, but for pregnant and nursing mamas. The nursing access is particularly unusual — I can’t think of another blouse with a zippered side access like this — but I think … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: ‘Carrie’ V-Neck Maternity Top
What a great maternity dress for work and beyond. It covers the bump, has a flattering but high neckline (in case you’re uncomfortable with the size of your bust while pregnant, like I was), and has sleeves. I would even wear this kind of thing to events and the like — add a sparkly statement necklace, some metallic … Read More about Maternity Monday: London Ponte Knit Colorblock Dress
I know I mentioned it in our guide to staying professional while pregnant, but I think we have yet to feature the BellaBand here on the blog. And it’s a must! Once the belly starts to pop (or regular pants buttons just become uncomfortable), that’s the time to break this baby out. It extends the … Read More about Maternity Monday: ‘Everyday’ Maternity BellaBand®
Ooh: love this maternity wrap dress from Leota — fit permitting, I’d even wear it after the pregnancy. It’s available in a number of other colors, as well; the pictured windowpane print is $180.

Liz Lange has about five maternity blouses like this right now — empire waist, V-neck — and they look great for work. Dress them up with trousers or maternity pencil skirts (like this reader favorite), or dress them down with jeans and a long cardigan. Ladies, which are/were your favorite maternity blouses? The pictured top … Read More about Maternity Monday: Woven Top Maternity Blouse
This “kelp forest” tulip-hem top looks great for a nursing top — machine washable, functional, loose, and flattering. I like that with the elbow sleeves it could work now, or layer very neatly beneath a sweater or blazer come fall. It’s $25 full price at Old Navy, available in sizes XS-XXL (also available in gray). Today … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Tulip-Hem Nursing Top
For my money, this is the only kind of maternity coat to get if you’re going to splurge (particularly if you’re having a baby in December/January/February): a convertible coat. When you’re pregnant, the coat has a triangle-shaped insert that helps cover your belly — but once you give birth and start wearing the baby, you … Read More about Maternity Monday: A-Line Convertible Maternity Swing Coat
