A collage of CorporetteMoms Style Recommendations

Pictured above: Japanese Weekend Color Block Dress, was $100, now $40 at Gilt / Theory, Maternity Max Pants, available exclusively at ShopBop for $255 /  Kenneth Jay Lane Gold-plated necklace, $90 at Net-a-Porter / Storksak  ‘Olivia’ Nylon Baby Bag, $198 at Nordstrom / Taryn Rose Bryan flats, $199 at Zappos

Above, some of recommendations for maternity style and beyond! As explained in our free eBook, A Guide to Dressing Professionally While Pregnant, statement necklaces are a great way to distract from an ample bosom (and extend a basic wardrobe), and comfortable, supportive shoes are a must, like these cute ballet flats with arch support (available in five colors!). Also, as noted in the eBook: you may want to hold off on buying a fancy diaper bag until the kiddo arrives — but this Storksak baby bag has a ton of positive reviews.

For anyone who has Gapcash, they’re redeeming those certificates in stores and online now. With the gapcash plus their regular sale I just got like 9 pieces for under $5 each!

Dumb question: how do I find older posts on this site? I can’t seem to get back to the previous open thread.

Any ideas for a birthday present for a one-year old girl? She’s the youngest of three (two boys) and has all the classic one year old gifts – push toy, things to bang on, shape sorter etc. Maybe something for as she gets older? Is it weird to get a baby a few boxes of tissues? (Her favorite activity seems to be pulling all the tissues out of the box – but maybe that’s instilling a bad habit.)

Humidity has hit the midwest – yuck. The heat doesn’t bother me, but the mugginess has me sweaty and chafing (I hate that word….). It’s a long (hot, sweaty) time until Philanthropy Baby is here in September.

Any tips or tricks for beating the humidity and staying dry?
