I've always hated getting dressed in the Winter months. Why? Because none of my clothes ever fit quite right. It wasn't until being pregnant that I realized all my Winter clothes were the same size as my Summer clothes, but not in years has my Winter body been the same size as my Summer body.
One of the best maternity shopping tricks I learned from a friend was to skip the maternity section entirely and just find whatever you like and buy it one size up. This has opened up my wardrobe to some of my favorite pieces that I know I'll be able to wear well after my baby arrives, and it's a trick I plan to use whenever it's August and I'm shopping for the just-released lineup of chunky knits or tailored trousers that I won't be wearing until I've packed on some inevitable holiday pounds.
