Okay, my belly looks so huge here. The lady at the register today asked me if I was due soon... nope-- four more months to go! |
1) Everything (especially maternity clothes) is so DANG expensive!
2) I never know what size to buy!
3) I don't feel very sexy which makes it hard to shop!
I decided to go to Kohl's because I had a $10 off any purchase that they sent out in the mail, so off we went! Once we got there I was having trouble even finding the maternity section -- it's pretty small at our location -- but with some help we got pointed in the right direction. Everything was on sale, but even on sale most of the sweaters and tops were still $30 which is just way too much for me! Tony wandered over and found a strictly maternity clearance section and I went to town finding tons of items under $8!!! The potential downside was that all these clearance items were summer clothes but thankfully I realized you can just add layers (sweaters, scarves, etc.) for the fall/winter. To make a long story short, I ended up spending $20 on 7 name brand maternity items and saved $267.40!!!! I thought I would share my findings and to remind all you ladies that right now is the BEST time to score some really amazing deals on clothes that are going out of season!
The very cute maxi dress I got. It's also got a string to tie around the waist so that you will have some definition in your waist! Orig: $60 Paid: $6 |
I just love the top! (Might wear this to one of my showers with a flowy, white sweater I have!) |
Very summery dress but BEAUTIFUL navy blue. Orig: $48 Paid: $4.80 |
(Probably my favorite buy of the trip!) This picture does the dress no justice! The top of it is gorgeous! Orig: $48 Paid: $4.80 |
Such a cute shirt - it has pockets on the front at the bottom on each side. (too bad you can't see the pockets!) Orig: $40 Paid: $4 |
Very simple but SO perfect on. Orig: $26 Paid: $2.60 |
Another top that's definitely cuter on! Orig: $32 Paid: $3.20 |
I like wearing pink while expecting a girl :) So fun. Orig: $32 Paid: $3.20 |
Alright, that's about it for tonight! Hope everyone's weekend has been as fabulous as mine has been so far.
