They say leggings but believe me, no-one would want to see my legs in leggings! Would jeans look silly? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

nice black straight leg jeans may look nice I think

or how about some black smartish trousers

millie1 · 03/01/2008 16:09

Ggirl ... you're fast turning into my fashion advisor!! They sent it 2 sizes too big in error so am waiting for the correct size tomorrow before trying on - but yes, black trousers might look good.

BTW, remember the black a-line skirt you linked to? It arrived today and is absolutely lovely on. Really simple cut but looks well and v. comfy. So thanks for that!

great !

lol at me as a fashion advisor

I would wear it with straight jeans. Id never be seen dead in leggings. I wore them first time round!

It would be lovely with straight jeans but if I buy any more maternity clothes I will be heading for the divorce courts ! Must try it with my bootlegs - they're not too wide and a nice cut so I'll seee what it looks like - actually, probably not great as they're dark blue as opposed to black.

No its a waste buying too many maternity clothes. I bought bare minimal i could get away with.

Are you tall? I hate to say it but leggings would be good. Failing that slim legged trousers...

Defo slim legged black trousers and IME maternity clothes ARE worth spending some money on the essentials (jeans, black trousers and a few nice tops)

Thanks folks! 5'7" but my legs are waaaaay to skinny for leggings - ugh! Will try with the black trousers. Have got a few lovely bits from Isabella Oliver & Seraphine so feel fairly well equipped at this stage but keep seeing things that I like ....

i did buy stuff, but to fair i wasnt very big so i didnt actually buy maternity as such just slightly bigger normal stuff. Didnt buy any black trousers this time cos was summer(if you can call it that)so got linen trousers and 3 pairs of jeans. Got those boyfriend fit ones and they had some nice ones in river iSLAND. Looked nice with vests n tshirts.

When I was pregnant I was the same - didnt buy much maternity stuff. I remember I did buy 2 pairs of maternity trousers from next - they were fab.
