I have put off maternity clothes shopping for a little while for two reasons. First, I want to make sure that the maternity clothes that I do buy fit me and are comfortable when I really need them. Second, most of the clothes in the maternity boutiques have been summer apparel and sun dresses and shorts really do not work very well in the fall and winter weather.
The one time I did go maternity clothes shopping this summer was with my pregnant sister. Ironically, I actually did find a couple of “long shirt/dress tops” that would work really well for the fall and winter and they were on deep discount!
Now that summer is on its way out, the fall styles are making their way to the local boutiques, which means that the few stores near by that sell maternity clothes are transitioning into fall styles too.
I have had my eye on a pair of maternity skinny jeans (of course jeans are always in season) for awhile, but have been waiting for my belly to grow and the jeans to go on sale. Luckily for me they were recently offering twenty dollars off all jeans at my favorite maternity boutique and a week later they had the same jeans forty percent off the original price. Needless to say I got my skinny jeans! Now I have my eye on a long tunic top at the same boutique and I am waiting for some promotional event to drop the price on that top too. I am also in the market for some fashion/winter boots to complement my skinny jeans but I think I will have to wait a while longer to find those in stores!
I guess we will see if the winter fashions make it to the stores before our baby arrives, either way my fall/winter maternity wardrobe is on its way!
