Clothes

My maternity clothes are starting to be too small :(

The tops are starting to be too short and my favorite maternity jeans are getting quite snug in the hips and butt. I don't want to buy more, but I'm thinking I may have to.

Anyone else starting to outgrow their maternity clothes yet? If so, are you going to go buy new stuff or try to make it work with what you have?

  • Well, I haven't had to purchase any maternity clothes yet but my jeans are now in need of the pony tail holder extension! I'm gonna try to hold out on buying any clothes if I can. I really only have 10 weeks to go (GD) so I'm hoping layering and sweaters will be long enough to hide the tops of my jeans. Big Smile

  • Yup. And I'm officially out of the last of my non-maternity tops (those smocky type tops that can pass). It was overnight really, well, over-week, while we were away at my PIL. Now my belly is popping out and I'm loathe to buy new clothes. Luckily it's starting to get colder here, so I'm starting to layer with tank tops that go a bit lower.

  • My mat tops all still fit, but a few of my pants from the beginning don't fit anymore. Luckily, I bought most of mine way on sale (my mom works at JCP) or on consignment, so I don't feel too bad about it.

  • Yesterday I went to the consignment store and got 3 pairs of pants (One was brand new from motherhood) and 2 shirts. Fifty bucks yo!

  • I'm 30-ish weeks right now and I think I'm going to go out and buy a few more tops this weekend.

    I'm very lucky and haven't had to buy many clothes yet. A friend of mine had a baby in August and is letting me borrow most of her mat clothes. So I've got a few pairs of pants and shirts from her. And I've purchased a couple pairs of work appropriate pants.

    But I need a few warmer tops now since the ones I have from my friend are more summer clothes. But I have an old navy gift card for $10 right now and a $10 off coupon at Kohl's. So I'll probably go buy a top or two from each. Or maybe try to get something cute to wear to my shower at the end of the month.

  • Up to about 2 weeks ago, I was able to get away with non-maternity shirts. I was trying to hold out till the cooler weather before having to buy new stuff b/c I didn't want to buy a lot of short sleeved stuff just for a few weeks. so, besides my initial bulk purchase of maternity closes around 15 weeks, I just recently bought 3 new pairs of pants from Target & several shirts from H&M & Target.

  • Most of the stuff I bought was from either ebay or on consignment. I'm starting to notice some stuff is a bit snugger too so I went out and bought a couple more items to get ready in case it ever cools down here in AZ as well as some more comfy stuff too.  We want a couple of kiddos so even though I may not use it to the fullest this time around they say you show and get bigger with later pregnancies so we'll see.....
