I just finished perusing the original spring clothing thread and wondered if anyone was interested in doing something similar for spring/summer maternity clothes. I'm having a hard time getting excited about many of the current maternity styles so it might be fun to share ideas.

What have you purchased? What are you eyeing?

I'm considering one of these for casual wear:

I'm searching for something a little dressier for a wedding this summer but haven't had much luck yet.

With an unlimited budget I'd also splurge on some designer maternity jeans or a Splendid top from Pea in the Pod.

And here's a few spring dresses that look pretty:

If I had known about Splendid when I was pregnant, it's all I would have worn!

This is so cute:

Any cute tops? I so cannot wear dresses when I'm pregnant.

Thanks for all the links! I'll read the article and I love this Gap dress.

I know! They have some really cute stuff.

The Splendid ones mentioned above are cute but pricey. Tops seem to be hit or miss. This is a great layering tank and was recommended in a maternity thread earlier this year:

This top (http://www.target.com/QuickInfoView?partNumber=13623447&catEntryId=203166486&productId=203289219&categoryId=166013&overlayId=QuickView&validation=true&position=targetCenter&omnitureSuperCatgValue=women:clothing:tops&lnk=plp_qi_grid_1_8) is plain but flattering (and cheap!):

I really like this (http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/womens/special_sizes/maternity/tops/PRD~1019238/Oh+Baby+by+Motherhood+Striped+Surplice+Top.jsp) but the circus tent review concerns me:

Oh, I definitely need this thread but have nothing to add. I'm sure I'll end up wearing the old navy gauchos every day at the end anyway, just like last time!

Bummed to see that Nordstrom doesn't carry maternity anymore!

I had great luck with Olian and Maternal America for dresses. I did something similar to this Olian dress for special occasions:

I covet a bunch of stuff at Boden maternity. I bought enough already that I can't really justify it though, especially at full price. Of course, that didn't stop me from buying two expensive pairs of ballet flats, though.

I bought this today http://www.apeainthepod.com/Product.asp?product_Id=159520022&MasterCategory_Id=MC3

Of course it needed shoes... I am in so much trouble... http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/stuart-weitzman-logo-pump/3210358?origin=category&resultback=7795
