While the cover image of a glowingly pregnant woman wearing a dress and spike heels is a bit hard to believe, Pregnancy Chic will save the sanity of any woman who finds it hard enough to get dressed in the morning, let alone when her midriff is expanding. The authors, creators of the "Pregnancy Survival Kit," offer some ingenious advice for looking classy and keeping comfortable and cool (or staying warm, depending on the season and your hormonal swings). Here's how to wear your favorite pair of pants through your first trimester or two: "Keep a ponytail elastic in your pocket at all times. If things get tight, make a quick escape to the nearest bathroom (which you are probably quite familiar with already), and slip it on as an "extender." Loop the elastic around the button, pull the body of it through your buttonhole, and bring it back over to loop around the button again."
Other helpful tips abound on topics from accessorizing, shopping for maternity bras and shoes (try a size larger than usual), and dressing for work, special events, or just schlepping around town. Be warned, though, that women on a limited budget may not appreciate the preponderance of fancy-label clothing (contact numbers are given for Eileen Fisher, Joan Vass, Bloomies, and their ilk).
Book Description
We began in 1994 as two pregnant fashion executives who knew there had to be a simple solution to the universal challenge of remaining well dressed while pregnant. We packaged it in a little white box and called it The Pregnancy Survival Kit--a simple four-piece wardrobe consisting of the essentials. And with it, we changed the world of fashion.
        Now we've written Pregnancy Chic: The Fashion Survival Guide. In it, we explore ways to get dressed without compromising your style (why would you wear something you wouldn't normally wear, just because you're pregnant?). We've included hundreds of firsthand tips discovered through trial and error, such as increasing your pregnancy wardrobe by extending the life of your pants with a simple rubber band, or wearing your husband's walking shorts with his woven belt (no notches--fits anyone!). Haven't you got better things to do than spend an hour in front of your closet picking out what to wear? With chapters on how to dress for work, casual and formal events, and even travel, we make it easy and affordable to look chic.
        From your first doctor's visit right through to post-baby, we'll show you how it's done. Enjoy, be comfortable, and have fun!  Jody & Cherie
