Baton Rouge has great maternity clothing shops, and chances are your favorite department store has a well-stocked maternity section, too. It’s just as much fun though to, well, think outside the bump. This month, we took along two local expectant mothers on a shopping challenge to find clothing that’s both stylish and baby bump-appropriate at Baton Rouge boutiques that don’t specialize in maternity wear. It’s not as tough a feat as it sounds. Though it took us a few hours in dressing rooms, we found a look for every occasion. Turn the page for more.
