rock the bump: for the fashionista mommas-to-be

529 Kids Consign isn’t just about clothing and accessories for kiddos! That’s right…we carry maternity clothing and accessories for fashionista mommas and mommas-to-be. From dresses by A Pea in the Pod to Seven For All Mankind jeans, we have you covered for the fall and winter seasons with looks that would make any expanding belly smile!

To show off some of our looks, the 529 team in Old Town, had a little fun: We transformed ourselves into pregnant woman, by strapping on a prosthetic bump! The things we do for our customers!

Estelle looks ravishing in red! This red dress from A Pea in the Pod is perfect for that work holiday party. It retails for around $150; grab it at 529 for $49.99.

Sherry is rocking black skinny pants with a lace top. This is a great ensemble for day to dinner. Throw on a blazer for work and a statement necklace for dinner! Don’t be afraid to wear “skinny” pants when your belly is growing. The whole outfit would retail for around $100. 529 sells the lace top for $16.99 and pants for $29.99.

Megan is in love with this tweed dress and embellished neckline. Paired with booties for day or night it is a wearable and chic look.

Some of our favorite tips on how to rock your belly this season:
1. Rock the skinny pants, but if you’re more comfortable with a straight leg, that will work too!
2. Don’t shy away from color…grab a dress in a hue that complements you. Of course, the Little Black Dress is classic and always a “do.”
3. Cardigans and blazers are a must-have! They can extend the life of your maternity buys through the seasons and take your look from casual to office ready in no time.

If you are newly pregnant, the prosthetic bump at 529 is your friend! Strap it on, and you will be able to shop for the last few months of your pregnancy. It will allow you to see if those designer jeans will fit or if that dress is going to be too short when you can no longer see your feet! Always ask one of the 529 ladies for advice…we have all been there and kind of wish we were again! Pregnancy is such a special time, don’t let your expanding belly interefere with your wardrobe. Come shop with us and we can help you rock your bump!

Our maternity selection is impressive and our customer service exemplary.

Don’t be afraid to wear prints. On a quality piece, you will find that it can be very flattering.

A beautiful coat is important to have as your belly grows.

Megan’s career in retail/merchandising began in the mid nineties standing in front of a woodsy smelling Abercrombie and Fitch. Sporting an oversized plaid flannel and bootcut jeans she said hello to every customer that eagerly walked in to the popular retailer. Little did Megan know that, while creating a perfect “denim wall”and dressing in all of the latest fashion that the lifestyle brand offered she was building the foundation for her fun and exciting career! After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, Megan managed multiple A&F stores before she moved on to an assistant buyer position in contemporary dresses at the local Arlington based retailer Hecht’s (now Macy’s). She gained an immeasurable amount of knowledge before moving onto a different facet of the business at Calvin Klein Jeans. Megan worked her way from retail coordinator to East-Coast regional manager helping to create the Calvin Klein aesthetic in department stores from Boston to Miami. After her first son Ethan was born, her position at CKJ was eliminated, due to the harsh economic conditions at the time. This is how 529 was born! Megan quickly began to see how fast Ethan was growing out of his clothing. She knew other moms had the same amount of adorable “gently-worn” clothing piling up. Combining her love of retail and her obsession with dressing Ethan gave her the idea to try and sell this clothing. 529 became a popular “pop-up” shop in the Alexandria area and once the following was big enough, a brick and mortar store in historic Old Town. 529 Kids Consign exemplifies who Megan is and what she has learned throughout her career. It’s a warm, well-organized, well- edited boutique that attracts moms from all over the DC metro area. On any given visit to the store you may be greeted by three boys dressed to the nines..they too have the passion.
