Earlier this week I packed up most of my maternity clothes. Such a great feeling! I’ve lost over half my pregnancy weight but still have a small bump. I kept out my maternity leggings, jeans, and cutoffs. I’ve been wearing them with flowy tops or wearing loose dresses. Today I wanted to share my favorite maternity clothes.

Gap makes the softest and most affordable basic tees. I have this Pure Body tee in 4 colors! There is always a sale so I bought mine for around $11 each.

Isabella Oliver is my go-to for basic dresses. They easily go from work to weekend with a change in shoes & accessories. They are a little pricey but lasted throughout my pregnancy.
Spanx ‘Power Mama’ Shapers saved my back. I was “all belly” and my stomach was really heavy. The ‘Power Mama’ Shapers are very supportive. I wore my normal size in the first trimester and went up a size for the second. I should have bought two sizes up for the third trimester but at that point I didn’t feel like buying any more maternity clothes.

I highly suggest investing in a pair (or two) of designer maternity jeans. Most likely your favorite brand is available in maternity at Destination Maternity. I loved my AG legging jeans! I always felt cute wearing them 🙂 I admired these black skinny pants on my friend Allison and had to have them. They were my work pant and perfect for date night too. Finally, I lived in my Splendid full panel leggings. I have them in black and navy. They are the two items I wore the most!

This is great to keep in mind!! I still have hopefully a few years before I need maternity clothes, but I know I gotta look cute! haha
