Help I'm a whale at 18 weeks and don't know how to dress

Ann Taylor had pretty good maternity basics - black work skirt, black work cropped pants. I wore those with colorful Old Navy pique tops and scarves/blazers. I also had good luck with dresses from Pink Blush, although they're more expensive and hit-or-miss - and I found that they didn't look good until I had a serious bump at 28 weeks or so.

For work, I felt most comfortable in wrap and faux wrap dresses. Have one from Pea in the Pod, I’m addition to other recs would note that Loft also has maternity clothes for online order.

Dressing is a challenge for me as well. I've been using a Bellaband since the 1st trimester, so I can still wear my regular pants at 20 weeks. Skirts with elastic waist are great and so are loose/floral summer tops (1 size up). I can't button my blazers anymore, but that doesn't stop me from wearing them!

I like Gap maternity, and Seraphine for a couple key pieces.

But mostly, you just have to suck it up and accept you'll look like crap for a while. Within 2 months you'll probably round out and look more "pregnant" and fill out maternity clothes better.

Until then, acceptance is key. You're making a human for heaven's sake!
