How not to feel fat . . . .what are you girls wearing these days?

I'm just entering into my 2nd trimester, and definitely don't have a bump right now. I just feel fat and nothing looks right on me. I'm in an office environment and wear business casual to work, but if I try to layer to hide my fatness I just look bigger.

How are you girls making yourselves feel pretty??

Im only 7.5 weeks and Im bloated and look gross. I layer things too and literally leave my pants unbuttoned because they wont button up anymoreChat Icon I wear a tight tunic tank to cover the top of my pants and layer another tank and then a baggy sweater or shirt.

So, if anyone has any tips, please share!

at 14weeks maternity pants are money!!!
if you dont have a bump yet you should be able to find some cute maternity & non maternity tops that will fit and look better than regular clothes.

good luck

I work in an office too. I've been doing the loose cami and cardigan combo for the last couple of months but am now sick of the few shirts I have that hide my bloat (I'm 11w).

I just went to Kohl's over the weekend looking for some early maternity shirts that I could grow into and they had a ton of stuff in the regular women's section that is loose fitting. Maybe that's in style for spring??

I got this shirt in small and it definitely has room in the belly (it looks fitted on this model but it's actually loose). You could wear a looser shirt like this with skinny black pants...I think that will be my uniform for the next few months!

I wear maternity slacks with a full panel EVERY day to work. Then a long cami/tank that's fitted. Then on top either an open sweater or fitted maternity shirt.

On days that I wear a loose maternity shirt, I swear I look and feel so much more huge!

On weekends I'm in maternity jeans with a fitted tank and a tshirt or other semi fitted top.

You might not have a bump yet but go try on some maternity pants anyway - I agree with Yesi that the full panel ones are the most flattering and I love the secret fit from Motherhood. You might see more of a bump when you wear those!

i am wearing dress pants that have a stretchy waist for work and jeans that are maternity but don't have the full panel just a low stretchy waist. I already feel like a heffer!
