If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

#throwbackthursday to what I wore 10 years ago in September…

A decade ago I was working full time in an office and was promoted to manage a good portion of my department. My blog was doing quite well, I was featured in local and national publications and websites. I was embracing what I felt to be a polished professional with an edgy vibe. Less color, more interesting accessories, and my first semi-designer bag (I still have that leopard print mini M.A.C. In the back of my closet). 

I have come to embrace color and have way less black in my closet now, but a lot of these looks are timeless and I would wear now… just likely with lower heels! 😂

Do you recall what you were wearing a decade ago? How similar is it to how you dress now?

Where to Buy Plus Size Maternity Work Clothes

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

I'd love to see if you can dig up any information on plus size maternity clothes. There are a couple of decent roundups online, but the clothes all seem to skew a little young, cutesy, and boho for my taste, or too casual. I'm a 34 year old size 18 professional woman (expecting twins!) working in an artsy, creative environment whose tastes run more towards the minimalist. Everything I see seems to be covered in crochet, flowers, and lace, or too casual to wear to a workplace that isn't corporate formal, but isn't jeans and peasant tops either.

I understand your issue; when I was pregnant I had a hard time finding professional maternity clothing and at the time I was a size 12. Luckily, both maternity and plus size fashion has improved over the years and it seems retailers are finally realizing that women in Corporate America do get pregnant and need maternity work clothing. Here’s the retailers I found who offer maternity fashion that isn’t too cutesy, too twee, or too casual for the office:

PLUS SIZE MATERNITY FASHION: THE BEST ONLINE RETAILERS

Pink Blush Maternity

Pink Blush Maternity considers itself, “Not your mother’s maternity clothes” and prides itself on offering styles that can be wearable after your pregnancy. The best thing is they have an extensive plus size selection. While Pink Blush skews more boho/romantic and casual, they have some great dresses that would work in the office and with your minimalist personal style. My picks:

Top: one | two | three
Bottom: four | five | six

Target

Target was my go-to for maternity work fashion and where I found silk-like shells, suits, and more for the office. The Liz Lange for Target collection was amazing and such great quality the pieces I had were passed down to several other women and we all wore them to work when we were expecting.  Sadly, it seems that much of their selection is not only casual, but smaller sizes. However, there’s still some gems and most come in XXL. My picks:

Motherhood Maternity

Motherhood Maternity carries plus size clothing, but like many other retailers their collection is quite casual. However, they have a good selection of office-friendly pants and they should be checked periodically as they seem to change their dress and blouse selection regularly:

Zulily

Zulily is a great place to score baby and kid items for less, but they also have great deals on adult clothing too! I checked and was pleased to find an extensive plus size maternity collection with pieces I hadn’t seen elsewhere online. Zulily’s selection changes daily so it’s worth it to check in periodically. A few of my favorites for the workplace:

JCPenney

When I was pregnant, I found unicorns of amazing maternity fashion at JCPenney. While most of the selection was extremely basic (or cheesy) I’d occasionally find a blouse or dress that was stylish, well made, and good for the workplace. I checked with them for this post and the selection seems similar to what I experienced years ago, but I was pleased to find as many unicorns in plus size as standard. My picks:

eBay

eBay was where I found some of my maternity wardrobe… and where I sold it. You can score some great gently used pieces on there that are not only great prices, but great styles not currently available in stores. While you will have to scroll through a ton of well-worn tee shirts and yoga pants, you can find plenty of professional pieces. Some items I found when writing this piece:

Non-Maternity Fashion

While I was able to find a maternity suit from Liz Lange for Target, one of my favorite maternity suit jackets wasn’t maternity at all. It was a ponte knit collarless jacket that may not have been able to button over my belly mid-third trimester, but it looked polished and professional.

Considering dresses as tunics, using knits, and sizing up can provide you with more options that aren’t necessarily maternity but will work with your changing figure. If you know you need a polished blazer, consider buying large and having it tailored to fit in the shoulders and arms.

Tips for Plus Size Maternity Office Clothing:

  • You Can’t Predict Your Size (or hemlength!) – I made the mistake of hemming all my maternity pants early on in my pregnancy. By my third trimester they were highwaters. Not only does the belly take up some of your inseam, but your whole body changes. Hips, rear, thighs, bust, arms… it all affects not only size but length.
  • Give Yourself Some Slack – Rarely will a job expect you to have as extensive and polished of a wardrobe when pregnant as you do when not. I’ve worked with many a pregnant woman who wore the same black dress more than once a week. When I was pregnant, I had two pairs of pants and I would wear one or the other almost every day of the workweek. I had a single pink matte jersey top that looked professional and I wore it sometimes twice a week, and I too was one of those women who had a black dress that was worn multiple times a week. I relied on scarves and necklaces to switch up the look. If you have two dresses, two pairs of pants, two non-tee shirt tops, a sweater and a cardigan or jacket, and a pair of comfortable black flats you have enough to survive Corporate America.
  • Keep it Simple – I don’t know why so much maternity fashion is elaborate. Ditzy florals, ruffles, keyhole necklines, self belts, flutter sleeves, ribbon trim, crystal buttons and that can all be on one blouse. When you find classic pieces I recommend snagging them. They’re not as memorable so you can rewear them in the same week, and you’re less likely to hate them after a few weeks of very regular wear.
  • Comfort Trumps Style – I found stiff cotton shirts and fitted non-stretch pieces uncomfortable especially later in pregnancy. Though I was due in January, I was so warm in my third pregnancy that I was wearing short sleeves. I found matte jersey and ponte to be my career wear best buds when I was expecting because they stretched, were machine washable, didn’t wrinkle, and looked office appropriate. With the addition of a scarf you can make a lot of simple knit dresses and tops looks professional.

    I’ve got two weeks to go in my second pregnancy, and while I can’t offer plus size advice, I can tell you that you need far less than you think! I was working full time before my first was born in February 2015, and I wore one of four sweater dresses, a tank, leggings, and boots everyday. Jewelry, scarves, and regular cardigans or jackets worn open changed the look. Some were maternity, some were dresses I already had. I bought a maternity pencil skirt and found my ponte dress pants worked the whole pregnancy with a rubber band. I bought two maternity tops, but mostly wore maternity tanks under my regular tops to bridge the gap. One pair of maternity jeans and that was it. By the end you don’t want to wear anything but sweatpants and burn the whole lot anyway, so save your money for the cute baby clothes instead!

    Congrats on the pregnancy!

    A few things that helped me (in my last pregnancy and my current one – size 18 both times)

    Old Navy: black pants + black tank top. Layer with high-quality non-maternity blazer, booties, scarf, necklaces, etc. The base layer just needs to fit well and be cheap, the higher-quality stuff can be the blazer, and it still looks put-together and not froofy. 🙂

    Gap does excellent maternity pants in size 18 (I personally love the jeans with the 2-inch elastic around the bottom, and hate the tiny side-panels or the huge belly panel, but your opinion may be different). They also tend to have really great dresses (again: body-con dress and maternity tights, add cute boots and blazer, looks nice).

    I got pregnant as a size 14. Here are some more choices that may work:

    — Look at Eileen Fisher! I am not joking: her dresses accommodate that bulky midsection and there’s a ton of trapeze tops that work beautifully with a tank underneath. And the fabric is to die for. And you can consign or eBay the clothes afterward. I just sized up one size in EF (which is cut large anyway) and rocked the “interestingly plain” look.

    — Gap Maternity is good for staples like jeans, wraparound cardigans, tanks. I liked the demi-panel waistband, personally, and do not mind admitting I wore those jeans postpartum for a few months.

    — I stayed the hell away from Motherhood Maternity and Pea in a Pod, etc., because they will sell your information to EVERYONE. You end up on every mailing list known to man. Also, their return policies used to be nightmarish; I’m not sure if they still are. Google site:consumerist.com “motherhood maternity” for more details.

    Congratulations on the impending arrival! Here’s hoping your partner is giving lots of foot and ankle rubs.

    This was my question! Thank you so much, Allie, for answering, and thanks to everyone who is commenting for their awesome information. I’m glad to hear that it’s not just helpful to me but to others as well. Old Navy has been great for casual and a few work things until now (I’m living in the Pixie full panel ankle pants), but I’m excited about other options. I wish so much searching wasn’t involved, but that’s the story with regular plus size clothing as well – why should pregnancy be any different?

    I’m currently 24wks and was a size 20 when I got pregnant. I’m diving into maternity wear now, so thanks for this list. A few extra notes:

    -Pinkblush says they have plus size sizing but I find their size chart to be inconsistent with their actual clothing. It all runs small, and this has been echoed in a FB group for plus size pregnancy. I think it may work better for those who are under size 20.

    – I visited Destination Maternity yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at the new plus size maternity options! Really cute stuff and good fit. I just wish they carried more in store but its nice to know I don’t have to order everything online.

    This was a great much-needed post. I am a 16 or 16W and had my son about a year and a half ago and spent so much time searching for maternity clothes online. Similar to what Allie said above, I was able to get three ponte dresses from the Merona maternity line at Target and wore them all the time. I also got two pairs of dress pants with the full belly panel from GAP – a store that I typically never shop in when I’m not pregnant, and a couple of dresses from Old Navy. One other store that had a few hidden gems was Kohl’s. Their maternity line in store was minimal and unappealing, but I was able to shop online and ordert a pair of shorts and a few workhorse tops to pair with the GAP dress pants and blazers that I had pre-pregnancy. (Worth noting: Kohl’s typically has coupon code and a generous return policy – both important when purchasing clothes that won’t necessarily be worn in the long term.)

    As a recent Motherhood Maternity employee, I have to comment with a few tips.

    – A size 18 is a 1X in Motherhood sizing. All clothes are designed for up to 40lb of weight gain, but most mothers of multiples size up later in pregnancy for comfort.

    – The entire plus line was recently revamped, and now includes ankle dress pants in navy and black as well as what is shown above.

    – I know that for the next two months (at least, I just left the company last week) new styles will be released with each floorset. For instance, my store had two new dresses and non-flouncy tops when I left.

    – Regardless of whether or not your local store carries plus, any online order can be returned in store.

    I hope this helps, and congratulations!

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.

I’ve been raving about my Printfresh pajamas for years, my family also wanted to try them. Thank you Printfresh for gifting these for our annual three generation girls’ getaway to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We had a great time and being all matchy matchy in our pajamas was a fun addition! 🐅🍃🥰
