If you've ever attempted to buy work clothes to accommodate a bump, you understand that while it is very easy to look comfortable, looking professional is a whole other story. I relied very heavily on my jacket collection because even when my shoes stopped fitting, my jackets still did. (Unbuttoned, of course!) I was still doing site visits for one of my projects up until my last week, so just imagine those skinny pants paired with steel-toed boots. Also imagine a bunch of construction workers being very nervous when a super pregnant lady shows up in a hard hat and asks a bunch of questions.
Anywho, my top pregnant-but-still-professional outfit combinations...
[one and two] patterned jacket+maternity dress: One of my co-workers who was pregnant with her second clued me in to the wonderfulness of the Liz Lange maternity dresses at Target. They are definitely casual on their own, but with a necklace and jacket they clean up pretty nicely.
[three and four] jacket+maternity wrap dress: I bought a wrap dress in December and wore it until April because it was wonderfully expandable.
[five, six, and seven] skinny maternity pants+maternity tee+jacket: I tried really hard to find maternity dress pants, but it was just a disaster. If the legs worked then the belly band would be itchy or tight or for someone carrying quadruplets. Or vice versa. I found these skinny pants at H&M fairly early on and bought a second pair to make it through.
