Ask the experts: Dressing for two

Today, our very own fabulous fashion and style editor Erin Shea Long provides some mom-to-be wardrobe inspiration.
Q: What’s the first thought 88.7% of American women have when their pregnancy test comes back positive?
A: Oh Jeez. I have to buy mom jeans.
Okay, so maybe I just totally made up that statistic, but the looming thought of donning mom jeans is a legitimate fear. Pregnancy shouldn’t scare the style out of you—on the contrary, it should empower and excite you! Of course, your body is expanding and it’s not all warm and fuzzies and maternal wonderment all the time. Sometimes you’re gonna feel frumpy. Here are a few tips to help you through your wardrobe transformation.
