Don't Over (or Under) Buy - Part I

To avoid spending your next 18 paychecks on a temporary clothing crisis, keep your focus on building a capsule wardrobe. For the working mommy to be, here is all you need:

2-3 pants

1-2 jeans

1 black skirt

2-3 tops for work or going out

1 black jacket

2 cardigans - one casual and one that also acts as a jacket for work - then you might skip the black jacket above

1 weekend pant

1 pair of leggings

1-2 Ts that will expand with you

1 dress that you can wear under a jacket to work and by itself for a night out

1 coat - tan or black, weight depends on where you live and what season you will run into

1 bra with room to grow!

1-2 Bella Bands

You don't need a lot, but you need pieces that are (1) comfy, and (2) versatile. I estimate you can get away with buying 18-20 pieces at the most if you get the right ones in the right sizes, and you might get by with less depending on how big you get. Stay tuned - more on this to follow.
