July 17, 2007
If you are newly pregnant, you can feel a little overwhelmed by everything you need for baby and for yourself. Here are the 5 essential garments for a stylish 40 weeks.

1. Jeans: Look for an adjustable waistband, stretch material and a flattering cut, such as bootleg. This would be a good item to splurge on because you will wear probably wear these for a bit after baby is born.
2. Cargo Pants: Pull on these lightweight, fashionable pants for everything from shopping to lounging. These pants look great with a fitted tee or an empire-waist top.
3. Skirt: Look for a skirt in a basic color (black or brown) with a lightweight material and a stretchy waistband.
4. Dress: A wrap jersey dress will look great on your pregnant body, and is a perfect look for a date night with your honey.
5. Tops: Pick up a figure-hugging top with a cute neckline to accentuate your bump. A flirty and feminine empire-waist shirt is also a great look, and you can never go wrong with a fitted tee.
