I have been dreading buying maternity clothes this entire
pregnancy. Partially because I hate spending money on things that I won’t be
able to get much use out of, partially because finding clothes that fit my long
limbs can be a pain in the butt, and partially because I just knew all the
maternity stores were going to be filled with ugly, boring outfits that looked
like they were from 1990. I’ve purchased a few pairs of pants and a couple of
plain tops out of necessity, but for the most part, I’ve been squeezing into
the tunic length shirts I did own, and hoping no one noticed how ill-fitting my
clothes were.
With the weather warming up, and the bump continuously growing
though… it was just time. Not to mention I work at my company’s corporate
headquarters, so I don’t think they were going to let me go the rest of the
summer wearing maxi dresses and leggings. Insert Destination Maternity. Last
night I visited this little heaven on earth with my Mother in Law in tow to
help judge outfits, and I found so many cute things! I love how the store has a
ton of different lines of clothes to fit all styles and price ranges. I was
able to get a few Pea in the Pod dresses and tops that we on the pricier (but defiantly
worth it due to cute factor), and some things from the Motherhood Maternity
line that were much more reasonably priced. I also got a few things from the
Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt maternity lines there.
I couldn't find the shirt I got online, but this one is similar. Mine is white and 3/4 sleeves.
Love this dress, and definitely think I will be able to rock it post-baby.
I couldn't believe how comfortable and flattering just about everything I tried on was. And the best part? I think I can still wear a good amount of the items post baby. When I got home I had Will move probably 40% of my closet contents to one of the guest rooms. I was exhausted, but couldn’t wait to hang up all my new swag. And it was so much easier getting ready for work this morning without having to paw through tons of clothes that I know darn well are too small, then try on 100 shirts to see if any of them were long enough.
Here's to the first day of May, no longer looking like a pregnant bum, and officially being SIX MONTHS (24 weeks) along as of tomorrow!
Wahhhoooo!! I unfortunately tried to fit into all my own stuff the whole pregnancy. Let me tell you, it ruined everything! I went to pack for Nashville thinking how exciting it was to have my whole wardrobe to choose from (since last summer I was pregnant and everything was very limited). WRONG! Everything I wanted to take, I was like, I wore that the entire time I was pregnant. I swear you won't want to put anything on you wore when you were pregnant after you are back to your normal self!!
Very cute items!!
Yay for new clothes that fit! I held out as long as possible before buying maternity clothes, but was sooo happy when I finally had clothes that fit and looked cute too! It makes a world of difference! You found some really cute dresses, though I'm sure you'll loose the baby weight quickly and hide away any and all maternity clothes - even if they are adorable! You'll be so happy to be able to wear regular clothes again :)
Yay for new clothes! I think maternity clothes have come a long way-- glad you got some fun cute stuff! :)
