Fashion Friday – Maternity

Posted on October 23, 2009 | 2 Comments

Maternity styling tips  -

  • Borrow clothes from others
  •  Go to thrift stores, consignment shops, yard sales, discount outlets and end of season sales. 
  • Keep the season in mind when you’re shopping.  Take advantage of those off season discounts – meaning shop the clearance winter clothes in the spring.
  • Mix basic pieces – Maternity jeans, black pants, wrap dress, pencil skirt, cardigans, classic tops.
  • Wear plus clothing
  • Accessorize
  • Layer with long tank tops
