FIVE TIPS FOR LOOKING GREAT ON A BUDGET

Stock up on long tanks for layering. Trust us, you can’t have enough. Wear them under tops that no longer button up all the way. Throw one on under an oversized cardigan or blazer. Invest in a pair of dark denim maternity boot-cut jeans with the stretchy fabric built into the waistband. They will go with everything and work for nearly any situation, be it work or social.

Choose A-line or empire-waist shirts and dresses that flow over your tummy, for maximum comfort. This style has a seam right under the bust so that there's plenty of room for an expanding midsection.

Dress like an onion, so you can peel off layers as it gets warmer. The weather and your body temperature will vary during your pregnancy, and many thin layers that you can adjust will help you feel comfortable.

Don’t be shy to ask friends who have recently had a baby to hang on to their maternity clothes so that you can borrow them. Undertake to spread the love by passing the clothes back again, or on to the next friend. You could even share and swap maternity clothes with a friend who is also pregnant.
