Money Tip - Borrow Coat From Bigger Friend or Relative!

Ladies, to save money, if you have a slightly larger hubby or bigger friends/relatives don't hesistate to ask if you can borrow their jacket.

I totally didn't even think about this and was thinking of buying a babydoll jacket just to wear the next 4 weeks. Well, after visiting my sister, she insisted on lending me her suede coat which actually buttoned up around my tummy! :D

That didn't work for me! I still couldn't button the coat over my boobs and belly!

Hopping on to say I did this with shoes. My usually tiny feet were huge toward the end so I borrowed some sneakers from a friend who was a size and a half up.

I did this. My mom gave me a coat that no longer fit her. It works for now. I refuse to spend the money on a coat that will be worn for such a short time. (I only have 2 weeks left)

I tried this and it didn't work! pre-pregnancy I was a small...my friend lent me her LARGE puffy coat and it wouldn't button over my belly and the arms were soooooo long. I bought the old navy coat for 20 bucks.
