Department of Unsolicited Endorsements: Four fabulous maternity shops
Yes, what everyone says is absolutely true, maternity clothes are a lot better than they used to be. But they're still a little odd. (And heaven help you if you're looking for a semi-normal-looking business suit.)
Here are four awesome (if pricey) boutiques in Chicago with cool clothes:
Show and Tell (formerly Swell), 1206 W. Webster
Belly Dance, 1647 N. Damen
Kickin', 2142 W. Roscoe
Krista K., 3458 N. Southport
And, if you're up for a drive (hint: bring a snack), there's a really nice Maternity Works outlet store at the fancy new outlet mall in Aurora.
Between these places and the usual suspects (Carson's, Marshall Field's and Old Navy), it is almost possible to buy a reasonably cool pregnancy wardrobe.
