How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

Just wondering...my mom bought me a bunch at first but now I am on my own On my own I would say I've spent maybe $150?

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

Lets see... so far I've bought 6 pairs of pants (2 jeans, 2 chords, 2 black slacks for work) and maybe 6 shirts. But I've bought everything on sale/clearance so I've probably spent around $200.

I absolutely refuse to spend a lot of money on maternity clothes.

So far, just under $100. But I'm only 5 months. I need to get a bathing suit, some sweats, a coverup, and a few capris in the coming weeks. i plan on going to Old Navy and Target and hopefully only spending another $50.

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

between this pregnancy and my first... way too much!!! and honestly..i hate them!

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I think I've spent about $120 so far, and my friends are lending me their maternity clothes.

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I'm way out of the range, I spent quite a bit on maternity clothes because it actually made me feel better about my body. Mostly it was tops, I bought a few pair of maternity pants to get me through work and two pairs of good jeans that I rotate.

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

On 6 pairs on maternity jeans and 8 maternity shirts, i spent $85.00!! Im quite proud of myself.

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

Probably $150 or so. I have maternity clothing from being pregnant already but it was not during the winter as this pregnancy was. I also bought some used maternity clothing from the buy & swap thread on the Parenting board.

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

about $200, but most of that was basics like camisoles, black, brown, & tan pants, etc.

I was lucky enough that my birthday was in Feb, so my family all gave me money to go buy some maternity clothes because they knew I had nothing!

I was given some hand-me-downs, but she is a SAHM and didn't have any work clothes to give me, and that's what I really needed!

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

About $150 so far. My SIL is letting me borrow a ton of her summer maternity stuff. That is saving me a ton.

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I have only bought one pair of jeans so far. I go back and forth between those and regular jeans closed with a hair tie. This weekend I am going to go to Old Navy and start there.

ETA: I also got some hand me downs from a woman whose kids I used to babysit for. They have money so it's good stuff! She's really tiny though so alot of the pants are too tight or short and some of the shirts are too short or my boobs don't fit in them!

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

So far $125 but that is bc mostly everything I have gotten has been on sale/clearance at Kohl's & Target. Plus I used some GC I had leftover from my birthday. I have gotten 5 pairs of work pants, courds, 3 jeans, 8 workshirts, 2 tshirts...I have also been fortunate to have my mom purchase a couple of items for me too.

I refuse to spend a lot of money since I have to go through 3 seasons of clothes for this pregnancy. I will be going out this weekend to see if I can get some capris, tanks, shorts & bathing suits..Plus I need a spring coat.

Ditto. I'm wearing them such a short time and then who knows when/if we'll have another so I can't see dropping big bucks on maternity clothes

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I have to be dressed 'business professional' for work - so that's where the majority of the money went.
Although, I own 3 pairs of maternity pants - 1 pair of greay slacks that I wore once, 1 pair of cords that I wore once, and 1 pair of jeans that I wear ocassionally ..........
I bought a bunch of Tshirts, a few sweaters, and a wardrobe of dresses for work ..........
At 35 weeks I am still wearing my pre preg jeans w/ the bella band and layering and wearing some of my pre preg sweaters .........
As for Tshirts and tanks, you don't have to buy maternity - I got a LOT from Target (tanks b/c they wash awesome!) in a bigger size .........

I probablly spent about $500 in total -

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

Not very much since one of my co-workers lent me an entire wardrobe that fills my closet!

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I have no one to borrow any clothes from, im the first preggo girl from my family and friends
so far I've spent around $300
I got:
4 pairs of sweatpants/yoga pants
1 pair of jeans
5 shirts
5 dresses
2 skirts

I plan on trying for DC#2 right after so I think I'll find plenty of use for them ;)

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I probably spend a little over $100 on them. I've been wearing alot of long camisoles( that are now alot shorter becasue of the the belly ) with cardigans over them so i have mostly bought pants.

where did you get your jeans from??

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I've spent a lot but I've loved everything I've bought. Looking good everyday makes me feel better during this pregnancy. I had a winter wardrobe and now I just bought a spring/summer wardrobe. I'm actually excited to wear it!

Re: How much would you say you've spent on maternity clothes?

I've bought 2 pairs of jeans and about 8 pairs of slacks. I haven't bought much maternity tops though, just a few cardigans and two tops. I picked $300-500 but now that I think of it, I probably spent more like $600-700.
