How much did you spend on materinity clothes?

I didn't want to spend a lot, but I also did not want to keep repeating the same 4 shirts and 4 pants. I think I am up to $600 so far Chat Icon

Re: How much did you spend on materinity clothes?

I've spent about $150 and inherited a whole bunch of great clothes from a friend. I know, they are not cheap. I got some cheap stuff though from Old Navy.

See that's the thing, I shoped at H&M, Old Navy and Macy's and it still adds up. I think I may look to return some pants today and get some more tops, it's harder to repeat tops than pants. It is so depressing how expensive it is because usually when I shop for clothes its a few things here and there, now I feel like I need a whole wardrobe!

Re: How much did you spend on materinity clothes?

i haven't spent that much yet. Most everything i buy is on clearance (gap, old navy, target). I just bought a ton of clothes while in FL (since we have no maternity stores back east on LI) so i'd say about $400 total so far.

i spent $225 on late winter/spring clothing and another $125 on summer clothes which i brought early for my honeymoon. i'd def DEF recommend motherhood outlet at the source.. i went to h&m today and although the clothing looked great, nothing was under 19.99.. i went to mothrhood outlet and got solid color shirts for 9.99 a piece.. whole sets for 19.99 i found some 8.99 pants at old navy on their clearance rack, so i'd def suggest them lso. i'm also waiting on a shipment of clothing from my sister.. and i browse ebay like a fien..

Re: How much did you spend on materinity clothes?

I am officially done buying maternity clothes, I spent $250 on winter clothing in December, and that got me right through until now, and I just spent another $200 on spring/summer clothing

I bought a bunch of maternity t-shirts from wal-mart super cheap, and have lived in them, and I also wear leggings all the time, that I had pre pregnancy. I dont work, and have been on bedrest for the past 5weeks so I have had it kind of easy in the getting dressed dept.

Re: How much did you spend on materinity clothes?

OMG, I have noooo idea. I have soo much from my last pg, I don't that I need a thing.

I stopped counting at 30 pairs of Maternity pants. I have no idea what I was thinking-it was almost 4 years ago.

The only problem, is that they are all "fancier" clothes, because I was working at the time. I think that I may need to buy a few casual pieces.

I am definately looking to donate them after this pg.

Re: How much did you spend on materinity clothes?

Since I am not working, I did not have to spend a lot.

For going out, I got most of my clothes at old navy, kohls, motherhood.

I recently saw the clothes in JCPenneys and they are nice and not expensive.

At 37w6d I bought my LAST outfit for my interview I have this week.
