Oh,and also,I'm pregnant...20 weeks and just starting to show.

I want a pair of SunSan Sandals,I like the dark brown (safe option) and the yellow ones (??)

I need something cooler to wear but I have absolutely NO IDEA where to start.
Also,I can't spend too much...

Fgs some shorts and a top

Hello Frigg, the more you post the more I think you are actually me. I wanted silver SunSan sandals, but all sold out every where in an 8.

When it is too hot for my/our usual garb, I tend to wear knee length shorts and ..... short sleeved T shirts and Birkies. I kitted myslef out quite well in bigger than normal sized Ts for Primark when I was pg (I have a later summer baby and an autumn baby, I can feel the pain of being pg in summer!) and had some maternity knee length shorts from JoJo that I pretty much lived in. I bet some cheapy high street place could do you some non-maternity, drawstring baggy linen shorts or trousers that you could fit and you could roll up (or not) as the whim takes you?

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 19/07/2013 15:59

Right,okay....so what sort of shorts am I to look for so that I don't look like a frump?
I need some half decent maternity Tees...too big regular ones make me look fat

BikeRunSki I even have the same shoe size as you Grin

Most like the second ones Frigg, but the ones I had a couple of years ago were looser fitting.

DeathMetalMum · 19/07/2013 19:47

H+M and New look are your friends for maternity basics that are not £££.

cocolepew · 19/07/2013 19:56
