Since we already had to drive to Chandler for that, we did some running around for maternity clothes. I was hoping to find something to wear for maternity photos. I've pretty much exhausted my normal maternity stores, so I wanted to try a few new locations.
There are only two possible explanations for the horrible selection of maternity clothes out there.
- Designers, or whoever designs maternity clothes, believe that once you become pregnant, you forget what's fashionable, or just don't care what you look like.
- No one ever buys maternity clothes, so the clothes that were designed 20 years ago are still on the sales floors!!!!
Long story short, no success in the maternity clothes department. But I did find some shoes to wear, after going to five different stores to look for shoes.
Report Card:
- Exhaustion level- medium
- Rest level- low/medium
- Accomplishment level- medium
- Baby- good

AMEN! What I ended up doing, after finding the same problem, was buying "regular people clothes" in bigger sizes -- you can find some pretty cute things when you consider that tunics and "flowy" tops are pretty in style. Also, Old Navy's website has always hooked me up with great deals on cute maternity things. I always stock up on basic tees and then you can jut jazz it up with a cardigan or accessory:)
I hated looking for maternity clothes. it is the worst. az mills has motherhood maternity outlet which had some decent stuff if you have not checked there yet.
I bought a lot of my maternity clothes at gap.com or oldnavy.com. I would get them, try them on at home then take them back to the store if I didn't like them. Good luck! By the end, the "tents" are all that are comfortable anyways. :)
I've always been really pleased with Motherhood Maternity's selection. But I have to buy online because the stores have a very limited selection. Of course, I'm not sure I'm all the fashionable, so maybe that's why I've been happy there. ;) Good luck finding some that you like!
I will agree that oldnavy is where my sister had luck. my cousin in chicago doesn't have a budget but she just always wore black. she found this cute simple stuff at Nordstroms that she really liked....I think is is reasonably priced
