What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

With being due on 11/1 and a potential early arrival, I was really reluctant to buy any fall clothes but just caved and ordered a couple of pairs of pants and long sleeved tops.

I could potentially only be wearing these clothes for a month but I don't think my capris and summer dresses will cut it in October. What are those of you due around the same time doing about fall clothes and work clothes in particular?

I was thinking about this yesterday.. I think I'll do a sweater dresses and tights if I can find any.. and hopefully I still fit into my old boots so I'm hoping this should do it.

i was wearing maternity pants before memorial day (when my office becomes business casual) so i'll be wearing those after labor day. i also have a bunch of clothes from my sister, who had a winter baby.

eta - shoes - those will def. be a problem... didn't think of that

I am going to try to wear light sweaters over my shirts for the few weeks that it will be fall (C/S 10/21). I do have a couple of mid-weight sweaters, but I don't plan on buying many more.

Re: What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

Well, I have 2 pairs of uggs to hold me over from last year (plus having a sister in the shoe business gets me good discounts, if need be, but I am strictly staying away from shoes that cost over $10 right now since my feet may or may not change).

But I bought 2 pairs of pants, and a 3 long sleeve shirts. I kinda figured I can still wear t-shirts and just wear sweaters if I get cold or anything. old navy maternity had some marked down items for fall already.

Re: What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

I have a dress code at work and can only wear tan or black pants. so I have a pair of each in maternity that i've been wearing all summer and will continue. i have a few maternity tops, short sleeve and tanks, that i'm hoping to wear with either a cardigan or sweater over it to get me through til the end of october! hopefully it won't be too cold!

Re: What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

I just bought a few things today, mostly leggings and long sleeved tops. I have jeans from when I was pregnant with my ds. I think I'll just buy some bulkier cardigans and stuff that I can wear after the baby is born. I've been able to wear some non-maternity cardigans open or just buttoned at the top.

Some people will wear maternity clothes for a while after they deliver, but my intention is to never leave the house for w few weeks (minus Dr appts). I have a pair of maternity jeans and some leggings my sister gave me. I figure I will just wear a sweater over my shirts and tanks. I HATE spending $ on maternity clothes!

Re: What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

I figure i will buy a pair of leggings and a pair of long black pants and a black sweater and just wear my summer tops w/ the sweater! I am going to do my best to not buy too much more... i did more maternity clothes shopping than i did my pre preganncy clothes!!!!!

Re: What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

I already have some pants and I'll just wear open sweaters/ sweater coats.

As far as after I give birth- last time I no longer wore maternity after birth besides jeans for a few weeks. All my sweats/ pj type lounge pants that were uncomfortable b/c of the band were perfectly fine right after delivery.

Re: What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

I was just thinking about this...I have plenty of maternity jeans and pants but I may have to get myself some long sleeve shirts. I dont think my summer stuff is going to cut it, at least not at work.

Re: What are you doing for fall clothes if you are due Oct/Nov?

i refuse to buy anymore maternity clothes. i just bought a bunch of capris, so i am hoping that it is warm enough to get away with them and then pre pregnancy sweaters that i can just wear open. i tried on some pre pregnancy pants today and they actually fit well with the bella band.....so if i REALLY need pants i will do that.
