So…maternity clothes aren’t what you’d call manly, but if your wife is pregnant or has been pregnant, then you know her whole wardrobe gets turned upside down for 9 months. My wife is no exception.
During her first pregnancy she was able to borrow quite a bit of clothes from a friend. This time around it is much different. I can’t keep all of it straight because if your pregnant at different times of the year then you need different clothes than you did the first time around and so on. On top of all that, if your wife works, then she needs clothes for work AND for evenings and weekends. Geez!
I put this list together because my wife was getting frustrated at the selection of maternity clothes at Target and Ann Taylor Loft. I’m also a little quicker on the web and wanted to find her some “other” maternity shops. When your standard Target won’t do for maternity clothes, check out these sites for some great clothes for your pregnant wife.
