Fall 2009 Maternity Fashion Pants, Jeans and Skirts

So you've gone through this sweltering summer with a growing bundle of joy. Congratulations- you deserve a serious reward! What a better way to reward yourself than to head out and pick up some brand new studs for that growing bun. As your belly gets bigger and the temperature gets colder, it's no reason to huddle up in your old college sweatshirts for the next 6 months! There's plenty of style, especially for 2009's fall maternity fashion, and it all starts from your little growing belly down.

Let's start with 5 key pants, skirts and jeans for fall that all expecting women should be sure to snag up. They will not only show off your incredible curves, but they are also fantastic for showing your personal style and can be coupled with anything to accentuate your "preggy" glow!

First thing's first: you're going to need a classic, but trendy pair of jeans that you can wear day and night. A great pair of jeans is essential to every wardrobe no matter whether your pregnant or not- I recommend a dark wash that play's up this season's silhouette trend. Motherhood Maternity's Secret Fit Belly™ Super Stretch Boot Cut Maternity Jeans (found at http://www.motherhood.com) in dark wash are not only a fabulous looking jean, but they're incredibly affordable and are so versatile they can be dressed up or down to fit your daily jean desires.
Black leggings are everywhere nowadays and that means they should also be on your trendsetting belly! Juicy Couture Maternity offers a fantastic set of black classic leggings (Juicy Couture Maternity Stretch Cotton Leggings at http://www.saksfifthavenue.com) for $78. That's a steal for these leggings that will last you a lifetime- elastic is once again our friend, ladies! Pair these with a gorgeous fall-colored tunic for the evening or a nice basic long tee for the day-time. They're made of ultra soft cotton and have a comfort/trendy fold-over waistband, so you know you'll never want to give these up!

For those of us who aren't yet on their maternity leave or who just enjoy a classic suit pant, opt in for Nicole Richie's new line, A Pea in the Pod's, classic wide-leg chocolate trouser (Secret Fit Belly™ Bi-stretch Suiting Stretch Fabric Fit And Flare Maternity Pants at http://www.apeainthepod.com). Not only is chocolate a must-have hue for every fall, again, it's a real trend to set off the whole silhouette look that designers are going for this year. This pant is $175, can be paired with a fitted blouse or matching jacket and is essential for the professional working mom!

Enough with the pants! Let's get on with something a little more girlie! While winter may not be a great time to show off those legs in the bitter cold, fall gives you the perfect temperature to show off a great floral skirt. Florals are making a comeback this year and Nicole Richie does it again with her fantastic floral arrangement in Secret Fit Belly™ Knee Length 5 Pocket Textured Fabric Maternity Skirt. This skirt is a pregnant autumn-loving future mom's dream! Rich brown paired with burnt oranges and taupe make this skirt a more-than-necessary fall item and should be paired with a basic solid-color feminine top. The price doesn't hurt either at $39.99 at A Pea in the Pod (http://www.apeainthepod.com).

Pencil skirts are an essential item to every closet and this year, they're really hot. Bisou Bisou offers a smoking classic pencil skirt that you can find at JCPenney (Bisou Bisou Bengaline Pencil Skirt can be found at http://www.jcpenney.com). Pair this black number up with some hot pink or any electric shock color or a floral print top and you'll have hit the spot for maternity fall fashion and standard fall fashion everywhere.

With these 5 basics, you'll be setting trends for all of your preggy girlfriends- and maybe inspire a few women to warm a bun just to borrow your fantastic wardrobe!
