Calling all new moms: If you haven't already heard the sentiment that if it takes nine months to gain the baby weight, it's going to take at least nine months (gulp!) to take it off, then let me be the bearer of the bad news—it's true.

Slim Down in Black. Stick with a go-to LBD, like this one from the  Liz Lange for Target collection. The V-neckline is super flattering and the pleats help camouflage a tummy. Wear it with embellished flat sandals and stylish sunglasses for day and with espadrilles and colorful accessories for your first date night as a mom and dad.

Casually Chic. To stay comfortable while still looking presentable during maternity leave, I suggest pairing a nursing-friendly tank (long enough to cover any problem areas) with stretchy black pants or cropped maternity jeans.
