I want to buy all the cute spring maternity clothes

[hokiegirl82]

but I must restrain myself! We really need to stick to our budget and my logical self knows that, but I wish I could just buy all of the cute spring stuff I'm seeing online. I'm not due until June 12 so I'm definitely going to need a few warm weather pieces but I need to hold off on purchasing until it's actually warm enough to wear the cute spring stuff which could be another few weeks. I'm so tired of wearing the same few outfits every single week!

I'm right there with you. I really have enough to wear right now since I can still get mileage out of a lot of my pre-pg shirts, but I want the cute maternity stuff instead!

i went out shopping for a birthday present and found a bunch of great non-maternity spring dresses. I wanted to buy them all but my curves have already changed and will change even more before baby arrives in July. I haven't bought spring clothes in several years because nothing was right for my curves. This year the styles are right for my figure and my figure is totally different because of the pregnancy.

I have so many cute spring/summer maternity dresses, and it's still cold.  (wilted)

The Weather Channel tells me that spring *might* be coming this week. That's good news, because I literally have like two outfits for cold weather!

I plan on buying a few more shirts. While I can get away with wearing some pre-preg shirts, I worry about stretching them out. I might also buy a couple more dresses, since I still have time to go and none of my pre-preg dresses fit (I never previously bought any loose and flowy styles).

I have a couple of dresses from Old Navy and some stuff from a local boutique.

i've got some cute spring/summer stuff already but feel like it's still too cold to wear anything! i also feel like my bump is still on the small side and people will think i'm not big enough to be wearing maternity clothes.

I am so tempted to buy some cute spring stuff but am due in 11 days so it makes no sense to buy new stuff now. I'm just really struggling to make what I have work at this point, everything is so uncomfortable!

Target and old navy have some cute dresses and tops - nothing fancy, but cuter than the 3 pairs of work pants and long sleeve gap shirt that I've been wearing the past few months.

I'm going to check out the motherhood maternity outlet in a few weeks and see if they have anything on good clearance.

I am getting frustrated with maternity wear shopping. Most things seem to be black or white and I want some colour tops or dresses. Its just all so blah over here. I am jealous of the clothes in the US shops.

This is the same complaint I have! I haven't been out shopping in a while but I got frustrated over the blah options in late winter/early spring. I want some COLOR.

I've been wearing a bunch of non-maternity maxi dresses and getting away with it. Same with stretchy tops. I figure if I stretch them out it'll give me an excuse to replace them with new styles after the baby arrives (and when things are on clearance).
