Maybe in really fashion-conscious places they pull clothes.  Here, in my mid-size Southern city, things don't disappear, they just go on the sale rack.  This was true in the midwestern mid-size place where I lived previously as well.  I LOVE this.   I shop for fall and winter (or as much winter as we get here) in the spring and get great bargains.  So, figure out local practices, and you might well save yourself some money!

Risk this one if you like, OP.  And I also hit the sale racks in late January. 

I distinctly remember attempting to shop for professional maternity clothes for a mid-March meeting in the North Atlantic and being totally screwed.  No long sleeves on anything.  So maybe I could get a short sleeve dress and just put a black cardigan over it?  Hell with that - couldn't find a black cardigan in the entire friggin' mall.

Hi, OP -- Just chiming in to say I'm in the same boat! I 'm a bit further along, and will be very obviously pregnant by the time my conference comes along. I've been looking at maternity suits and...blech. I think I'm going to go with what I've been doing for work for the last month -- dress pants and a blouse with a really nice, long, open cardigan. There are lots of these around this season. I've been eyeing this one for interviews, maybe with a long silk blouse (Gap maternity has a couple of nice ones):
