Maternity clothes have definitely gotten cuter in the past couple of years. While new-mommy style has sky rocketed, so have the prices. And for a few months wear it hardly seems worth it. On the other hand, it is nice to treat yourself to a couple of nice things that can take you all the way through the pregnancy.

Simple: If you want to go for a less expensive version, try the non–maternity black top from Forever 21 for $20. The short–sleeve shirt has pleats that hang from a braided empire waist, which leaves plenty of room for baby to grow.

Swank: Olian Maternity has a pretty black three–quarter sleeve top that fits snugly at the empire waist and lets your belly hang loose below for $74.
