PSA: motherhood maternity sale

[shellbell]

I don't know how long it lasts, but I got jeans for $15, a nightgown/bathrobe for $15, and some tops for $10. A lot of the tops are fall-ish. They also had shorts for either $10 or $15!

Shopping now. Does anyone know if Motherhood Maternity sizes tend to run large? I usually wear a 10 or a size large in pants, but their size chart is telling me to order medium.

I bought a ton of stuff for under $100. Two pairs of jeans, two pairs of pants, a skirt, and two tops. My first maternity order

[shellbell]

notagoddess I wear my normal size, and it's not bad. I can sometimes size down, but I'm also super picky that there not be anything right around my tummy area. I guess I'd rather it be a little big than tight at all.

Gap and old navy also have sales now. I got a little t of stuff last pregnancy from there.

Anyone see any crop jeans??? My normal crop jeans I wear to work on Fridays is getting tight around the stomach.

@jacks605 I got some at Kohl's that I absolutely love.

That makes sense. I ordered half medium and half large and I'll see which ones fit better.

Ugh, I am so glad for sales on maternity clothes. I'm definitely starting to show now. My husband, dad, and step mother have already commented on my belly. And I can't really fit into 95% of my pants.

I went to Destination Maternity yesterday and everything was SO expensive that I almost had a panic attack. The CLEARANCE price on dresses was $80. I walked out, ranting to my husband "First they charge women more money for less fabric than they do men. Then they wait for women to get into the vulnerable place where their pants won't fit, and then they ask for your future child's college tuition for a new wardrobe. When do we get a break? Bastards..."

I think he was scared. I blame the hormones.

loves2shop4shoes huh, I've gotten some great deals at DM. I think they carry different "brands" though. So the Pea in the Pod brand is more expensive than the Motherhood stuff. Last time I went in DM, all their clearance was BOGO FREE! It ended up being pretty affordable.

If y'all can find a Clothes Mentor near you, go shop there! It's a upper scale women's consignment store and they keep a maternity section. All the maternity stuff is so lightly worn because really, it's only used for a handful of months.

[shawnabm1320]

Yeah, I'm planning on hitting up the consignment shop soon for some things. I need to get mine out and take stock of what I need.

I also found some pretty good deals on motherhood maternity things at boscovs I think. If you have one of those around. I feel like no one shops there anymore, so there was quite a selection.

[shellbell]

I've purchased quite a few new things. Because
1. I didn't really have summer stuff last time. Just a couple things. Not even enough for a week.
2. Some of my stuff is really worn out.
3. I'm starting this pregnancy about 40 pounds lighter, so a lot of my pants are super baggy. Okay for around the house, but I'd prefer not to wear them out.

Aren't the three of them owned by the same company?

Not sure. I know the Pea in a Pod stuff is super pricey. And DM had a mix, but even the lower end of their stuff was pricey.

Yes. But it's like the differences between Old Navy and Banana Republic.
