At the beginning of their pregnancy, many women (and yes, we thought this too!) think, I’m only pregnant for 9 months. I’m not going to waste money on maternity clothes.
But – and this is a big BUT, we’re going to let you in on a few secrets that Mamas who’ve been pregnant for 9 months discovered along the way.
Pregnancy Facts
- You can’t wear nothing for 9 months. And heading out in Hubby’s clothes just doesn’t cut it… especially when you’re 8 months pregnant, feeling a little less like your old self.
- Reality Check If you wear a normal pre-pregnancy top non-stop after buying it, how long before it starts to look worn and tired? Ok, so some things in your normal wardrobe last for years, but how many do you toss out in under 9 months.
- It’s more than 9 months. Maternity tops double up as breastfeeding tops. Most women breastfeed their child for up to a year after giving birth. So, you’re actually likely to get closer to 1 year and 9 months from your Tops.
- Are you really having just one? If you decide to stop at one, which we completely understand if you do, then you can be the very benevolent sister or friend who hands down maternity clothes in immaculate condition. But, for the rest of us, buying good quality maternity wear means that you can use it again for future pregnancies.
So, with these four little nuggets of information, let’s take a looksee at how you can feel like you’ve got a complete wardrobe but not actually invested in an entire wardrobe.
Speaking of Investment, it’s all about Investing in the Right Mix
| 1. Find your colour. Pick a colour and for the most part stick to it. This way, you’ll be able to mix and match all pieces of your wardrobe. Having a Winter Bub? Choose colours that work well with scarf and hat accessories you already own. (One exception to this rule, choose a couple of maternity tops in bold or contrasting colours. Pregnancy is your time to glow and having some fun bright tops really helps to work your “glowing” look. Acquiring a selection of Maternity tops is affordable way to mix up your wardrobe and will get a real work out for when you are breastfeeding as well. Check out our Any 5 for 149.95 range here) |
