Work Pants from Spring Maternity

Featuring work pants that I got from Spring Maternity! Loving how stretchy and comfortable it is over my ginormous bump! I am starting to see why people who aren’t pregnant but still go back to Spring Maternity for their clothes. All the clothes are easily adjustable, and very flexible. You could grow/shrink a few sizes throughout pregnancy and the same thing you buy from Spring Maternity always seems to fit still. Bottom: Straight Andria Pants Navy $69.90, Spring Maternity Shoes: Women’s Crocs Cobbler…
