I'm not sure where in Austin you are but I think they have a maternity section in the store out in the Hill Country Galleria. That's nowhere near where I am though, so I actually went to the one at the Quarry in San Antonio, while visiting my SIL who lives there. Decent selection of maternity in person, plus then you have a feel for how they fit so you could order online. Or just order online -- from what you've said before I think we're built similarly (I wear a 2 and non-preggo A.T. fits me well; perfect length when I buy the Long and wear my usual heels) and my biggest problem was finding *any* maternity clothes built for thin women who aren't really short. Seems like most major retailers start at what corresponds to a sz 8 so I was swimming in the bottom half of what was available, even when I got the belly. <br /><br />And the other place I got lots of maternity was actually Ross Dress for Less. Unlike the other discount stores like Marshalls and TJMaxx, Ross actually has a small maternity section in most stores. The selection varies wildly but I found cheap jeans (like $12 cheap) that were my favorite pair, plus several tops that worked for me when I had to dress for work. And again, cheap! You've got the additional challenge I had of having to bridge seasons, even more than I did (my son was born in March so I started to need maternity in Oct. when it was still warm here, and then it was warming up again before he was born, but in the intervening months I needed winter clothes).<br /><br />And you may already know this, but a friend who had to dress up for work cautioned me against the Pea Pod/Mimi Maternity stores as their return policy is very stringent and basically the moment you walk out the door you'll only get store credit. This was a couple years ago though so maybe it's changed. I avoided them though as my I ended up buying a ton of stuff one weekend at different stores, taking it home to "make outfits" from what I had found, and then returning some stuff when I realized that certain pants/shirts didn't coordinate well with much.<br /><br />And, although I don't *actually* know you, I am local so if you'd like to borrow any of my maternity clothes they're just sitting in my closet. I think you can email me from this posting without me actually including my email address here.<br /><br />squeezes to Landon -- my guy is just 10mos old so it's fun to see what I have to look forward to! he's going to be an awesome big brother.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224245034308549061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-76145223743133544662010-01-16T22:56:33.046-06:002010-01-16T22:56:33.046-06:00Massage therapy is an awesome idea.
