You've probably already heard of it, but I thought I'd give the wesite a shout out since you're always trying to save money online. I used eBates until this fall when TopCashBack reached out to me about their website. I've been using it without any problems and getting way more money back than through eBates - I even think their referral rates are higher. Anywho, if you want to check it out, here's my referral link: http://www.topcashback.com/ref/Member11602985029.

Wish that I would have read it earlier because I already purchased too many tops of the woven variety when I was smaller, and realize now that my long and tighter jersey tops are a million times more flattering (why oh why do they make button down maternity tops like that anyways? I wore one to work two weeks ago and one of the nurses told me afterward that she wasn't positive if I was pregnant or not - and that was at almost 30 weeks, not good). Open cardis have been my favorite since I've been pregnant (fortunately I liked them before I was pregnant too, so I already had some) and 100% agree on the no shelf bra long camis - so hard to find. I have found only one so far, at Old Navy maternity, but sadly it's not online anymore.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11117654425837209140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-65215785473834665302014-03-13T21:09:11.511-04:002014-03-13T21:09:11.511-04:00Yes yes yes to #2 and I love me some Gap maternity...Yes yes yes to #2 and I love me some Gap maternity jeans but I have to have the Demi panel.

I bought those exact jeans from Gap about a month ago for 40%off (btw- they're having their F&F sale now so you can snag them for a good price if you can't find them cheaper elsewhere) and they're AMAZING. Love them. <br />You totally described what I have always observed about woven tops on pregnant ladies but I have never been able to articulate!

Even size L/XL sizes the top part for a B or a C cup, even though most people wearing a shirt that big are likely to have bigger cups.

The best ones have a gather in the center back or darts in the back.

Three separate colors (a pattern counts as one color) make you look more put together... and, in my opinion, the holy grail of looking thinner and more put together during, well, any time really.... scarves!!!! Flow-y in the summer and big and bulky in the winter, add color instantly and always make your face look thinner, plus, when your tummy is sticking way out there scarves help add a little balance to the upper half of your torso.Marcinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392503954892609117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-84051076792007537792014-03-12T17:32:33.199-04:002014-03-12T17:32:33.199-04:00Tanks, yes, yes, yes!

I think you must have been stalking my closet to check out my maternity wardrobe. Several weeks ago when the old rubber band trick no longer worked on my non-maternity jeans I had to go out and buy maternity jeans. Believe it or not, you can find clearanced maternity jeans at Target that are cute for $15 if you you find your size. Layering clothes with cardigans also means you can make short sleeved tees work for the colder months and not have to buy more clothes for the wamer months.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353696433987975754noreply@blogger.com
