Question 3
I am 12 weeks pregnant and just starting to need maternity clothes. Where is the best place to shop around here and what styles are in for spring? Although we don’t currently have any locally-owned maternity boutiques in the Capital Region, there are a couple great options in the malls. One is Destination Maternity in Colonie Center. They carry two lines: “A Pea in the Pod” and “Motherhood Maternity.” Both lines are “on trend” with the latest styles and carry designer brands. The main difference: A Pea in the Pod is more high-end, while Motherhood is easier on your wallet. The nice thing about DM is that it gives you options to mix and match. Take a pair of Seven For All Mankind designer jeans from A Pea in the Pod

Wrapped Booties,” $98 For work or play! Macy’s “Vince Camuto Ryssa WedgePump,” (also in black),$89 Clothes Horse “Cailey Silver Madeline shoe,” $59 For those dressier evenings! (splurge) and add a Loved by Heidi Klum top by Motherhood Maternity (save) for a great look. For spring styles, I would stick to chevron and/or striped patterns, bright colors, skinny or boot cut jeans, leggings, blazers and maxi dresses. Also, accessorizing is a must (i.e. light scarf, chunky bangle, statement earrings). A few pieces I would recommend for the spring Mama-To-Be:
