fall clothes for work if you are in the "in between" phase

I go back to work in 2 weeks and will be 11 weeks with DC #2....I obviously will not fit into maternity clothes yet, but my normal clothes are not fitting too well. I am trying to think of what to do for the beginning of the school year...I don't want to spend a ton of $ on clothes that I won't wear again and buy bigger clothes(this is my last DC) - what do you think my best bet would be? cotton dresses and skirts...this way I can wear them when I'm not pregnant too?? any ideas???

You could pick up a bella band (or the cheaper version that Target makes).

Skirts with elastic waistband, dresses, and leggings are forgiving. Good luck!

I would buy some larger size clothing you can wear in the spring/fall. Unfortunately you will need it after the baby is born. The last 10 pounds or so is always hard to lose.

I had bought a lot of big non-maternity clothes my first pregnancy. I wore those clothes after I had the baby when I returned to work. Now I'm getting use out of them again now that I am pregnant with #2.

It seems the Bella Band is hit or miss around here, but I LOVED it. Also, I really recommend these pants from NY&Co. They're called West Street. Pull-on, elastic! My DH calls them "glorified sweat pants," and they sort of are. But, OMG! So comfortable!!!
