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.

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?
