Since the weather is suppose to warm up soon, and I had some time to kill at lunch today, I thought I would swing by a maternity store near where I work, Izzy Maternity to be specific. Now, I have heard that maternity clothes are expensive and boy did I stumble upon the mother ship of YUPPY. I could not believe my eyes! (Now to each his own) But I have NO desire to pay $148.00 for maternity jeans that I will only be able to wear for a few months when I can get some cute ones at Kohl's for under $30.00. Why would people care about name brand crap when they are pregnant, just not on my priority list, ya know....
Anyway, the person working was also a little insulting. He (this man was clearly a Queen) came over and asked me how far along I was. And I clearly was not open to talking to him about my pregnancy, I just said "I have a while" and again he asked how long I had to go. I said I am only about 18 weeks, and with pure shock on his face he said "OH..." and I said "I know, its big", referring to my belly. And he knew he had reacted a little too much, and he tried to compliment me after that, but I was just so turned off by this store it didn't matter. So after I looked through the shirts that were near $100.00, I decided to leave. I thanked him of course b/c I am polite and have worked retail before so I understand him hounding me to attempt to make a sale. But I honestly wanted to ask "how are you still in business in this economy!" But I didn't know if it was his store or not. And I use to hate it when people would complain to me about prices in the Buckle (where I worked), and I had nothing to do with it!!!!!!!!
So...to Target I went :)

I miss Buckle...
BTW, Old Navy has really cute, normal looking, reasonable maternity clothes on their website. They only have them online, so you can't try on, BUT returns are free!!
I always loved Motherhood. You can shop online or in the store and they had it all from swim suits to underwear to super cute dresses...and they were always VERY reasonable! The GAP outlet always has great deals, too!
I just typed a HUGE paragraph and it didn't post, so this is the shortened version:
No BIG spending for me on maternity clothes when I could buy TONS of baby clothes.
Some Old Navy stores actually carry maternity clothes - call around. (Alabaster does for instance.) I was a Target and Motherhood shopper.
Per the Queen and his rudeness: everyone carries differently. I was LOTS different from 2 of my cousins who had babies around the same time.
Post some belly pics - I wanna see that baby growing!
Thanks for the tips everyone! Candace, I will post a pic soon :)
That is so funny. I went into Izzy Maternity on Wednesday. I must admit I spurged on a few items (that I can't wear yet, but everything was 20% off...I'm weak)but my purchases were John's Anniversary gift to me. From here on out I'll shop for stuff online and at Old Navy. I just want tons of sun dresses. How are you feeling? What are you having?
