10/10 - I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant and as a full time Project Manager I've had to figure out how to dress my ever-changing body for the office each day. As I've gotten bigger over the past months I have tried to apply the remixing principles I use to pack for long business trips in my approach to buying new maternity clothes. I tried to focus on the balance between figuring out what I already owned that could be re-used and supplementing those items with smart, basic, versatile pieces of clothing that could be mixed and matched into a large number of work outfit options.

And finally, here's how I put together my maternity business capsule wardrobe -
The method:
- Basics - First step was putting together the basics pieces to lay the foundation for the wardrobe. I
tried to choose very basic, very re-wearable clothes. Clothes that I knew I would be wearing over and
over so they would need to be simple enough that they coordinated with everything else in the capsule and I didn't get bored if I wore them multiple times a week for weeks on end.
For the basics in this capsule wardrobe I chose two pairs of maternity pants (bootcut & ankle), two simple tanks, a stretchy pencil skirt and a simple black (non-maternity) suit jacket.
