I bought mine in the UK but the SF store might carry it. Also, can be somewhat pricey depending on what you are looking for but Top Shop has great jeans. Oh, and Micheal Star's T's, they are super long and fit nicely over baby bellies. Okay, put in my pregnancy style 2 sense. :) If you are looking for less expensive maternity – H&M has a great line.

The ones I have are not nearly as nice looking as these. I am just undiscerning. My own mother is like, why don't you buy a decent pair of pants and stop wearing other people's cast offs? There is no pleasing them. Penny, your problem is that you are too stylish. The ones I have are not nearly as nice looking as these. I am just undiscerning.

They do for my purposes quite well. I could never get away with wearing something like that at work so I figured cheap was ok for dark bars or whatever. I might check out the H and M ones, though, thanks for the tip Marissa, because I am finding myself wearing my jeggings way more than I thought! Yours, however, are darling!

I haven't been able to justify spending upwards of $100 on a pair of leggings, but looking at the ones you just posted, that may have just changed.

Got them at Nordi's as well. In response to Robin - yes, buy a size down in the legging version as they are extra stretchy. I usually wear a 25 in all jeans and even though thought the 24 would be way too small they fit perfectly. Penny, you are so darn cute! Can't wait to see how you outfit your what will most definitely be a basketball belly. :) Try the Citizens of Humanity version – I bought several pairs and love them. Got them at Nordi’s as well.
