if you work in an office...

what do you generally wear most days? I feel like I keep rotating between a few go-to outfits (one black stretchy dress, or a few different tops with black pants)

Re: if you work in an office...

we're business dress except fridays (business casual) and i can't wait for business casual memorial day thru labor day.
technically i'm supposed to be in a suit.
i have been wearing black pants with a top and a cardigan. they've cut me a little slack. if i'm going to court, i squeeze into my suit jacket.

Re: if you work in an office...

You read my mind!! I've been thinking the same thing. I feel like I'm wearing the same clothes. I have some nice maternity black pants and brown ones. I just interchange them with different tops. Some tanks with sweaters that aren't maternity and some dressier, long stuff.
Right now I'm wearing a bigger pair of my regular bottoms with the bella-band b/c I'm tired of the same bottoms.

Soo annoying. I hate maternity clothes. The stuff I got for myself a month or so ago in XS maternity is getting tight Chat Icon
Thank goodness tomorrow is casual Friday and I can wear jeans Chat Icon

mon-thurs i wear black or tan maternity pants, a skirt or a dress. mostly my tops are tanks with cardigans cause i really dont want to buy too many maternity clothes. and fridays we can wear jeans so it's a lot more comfortable.

I've actually been getting away with all of my regular work clothes using the Bella Band. It's not going to last much longer though.

Re: if you work in an office...

Pre-pregnancy I wore a pencil skirt or dress every day. I can still wear the pencil skirts that go with my suits, but the others are no longer comfortable by mid-afternoon so I have retired them.

I have 2 pairs of maternity dress pants (one skinny-leg under the belly pair and one bootcut belly panel pair that is comfy but I feel super frumpy in), one pair of black maternity skinny jeans that I wear somewhat often and nobody says anything about, and a few non-maternity dresses I can still wear...

Today I'm wearing a flowy silk empire waist top that isn't maternity but which I never wore because it made me look pregnant. Now it's coming in handy and it will probably become a wardrobe staple although I look huge in it.

I really need a long black cardigan though... my regular ones are starting to look a little funny since I've been wearing longer shirts...

I also used to wear 4" heels every day but I bought a really cute pair of quilted flats and have been wearing those every day since about 7w

Re: if you work in an office...

I rotate between 5 pairs of paints and some tops each week. I refuse to buy more maternity clothes. I've also stopped wearing flats and now wear my converse sneakers and they'v let me get away with it :)

Re: if you work in an office...

we dress business casual but lately my clothes situation has been bad. I have like 1 skirt and 3 pants that I rotate but don't fit that well. Clearly after my coworker outed me at work today I guess it is time to really go shopping for some maternity clothes or at least just bigger sizes of regular clothesChat Icon

Re: if you work in an office...

I am still wearing my suits w/ the bella band -
Hopefully I can last until the end.

I also have a lot of maternity dresses that I rotate with my suits -

I have to be dressed 'business professional' - so going casual is not an option

And my heels - i refuse to give them up until the very last possible second ........@ 34 weeks I'm still good, so we'll see

Re: if you work in an office...

We are bus casual so I wear leggings with a long sweater, maternity dress pants with a longer shirt, tanktop under a regular shirt with a cardiagn/sweater, or a dress, but I hate putting on panty hose they bother my belly so I will wear more dresses once I can go bare legged lol

Re: if you work in an office...

i have a couple of pairs of maternity pants that I rotate with either regular or fitted maternity tops. I'm not crazy about the loose maternity tops because they don't flatter me at all. I also have a few dresses - I wear them with maternity spanx or tights. if the weather ever gets warmer, I just plan to wear dresses more frequently, even though i honestly feel like pants and fitted tops are more flattering.
