Bargain maternity fashion item of the day: Matalan light wash maternity jeggings

Maternity fashion doesn't have to be expensive, and scouring the virtual highstreet for cheeky sales and bargain items is one of our fave pastimes.

Today, we're extremely pleased with ourselves for spotting these gorge light wash jeggings from Matalan that come in at a cool £10.

Not only are they bang on trend and give the comfort you'd find in leggings, but also perfect for yummy-mummies-to-be who want to give a nod to the denim trend without investing in a pair of expensive maternity jeans.

Team them up with a floral tee and pair of sandals for a daytime look or go for a sheer maternity blouse and brave a pair of heels for that night out.

We have a feeling they won't be hanging around for long.

Bargain bump: Maternitywear for £10 and under

We all love a little bit of luxurious fashion, but when you're pregnant, sometimes you just don't want to spend those precious pennies on that expensive item.

While we've covered lots of maternity lovelies over the past few weeks, today we thought we'd give you a little bargain treat, looking at what you can buy for £10 and under.

If you take advantage of sales, which can be found at almost anytime on the virtual highstreet, as well as delve into the world of supermarket stores, you can pick up an essential part of your maternity wardrobe for the fraction of the price.

Team up your bargain find with a higher end number, such as a pair of jeans or maternity coat and add some accessories.

We guarantee no one will ever guess you're wearing a bargain bump find.
