Total: $147.53
I have included quite a few maternity items I purchased prior to this month. Since I am starting almost from scratch again, I am basically buying a new wardrobe and I need clothing for spring, summer, and fall. Some of my clothes will already work, but I need quite a few basics. This includes pants, a couple sweaters, tees, a few dresses, and shorts. A couple years ago I had done a year long collaboration with thredUP. I saved some of my credits specifically for maternity wear. I have also sent in bags of clothing I didn’t want that added to the total. So I had (and still have some) several hundred dollars to spend. With their free returns, I have been taking advantage of anything I don’t like or doesn’t fit well and sending it back to get my credits back! I am thrilled to finally be using that money! So I just wanted to explain why I have so many things from thredUp c/o this month.
I also got a pair of slip ons I had been eyeing. I am hoping they will be one of the shoes I take to Ireland later in June. They are pretty comfortable, but with extended wear, they do rub on my heels so I think I need to add a cushion or break them in a little more before we leave. Initially I was wanting the blush color, but it ended up being too close to my skin tone so I exchanged them for grey. Recently I have purchased some accessories because that is such a fun way to mix up maternity basics. I have a turquoise necklace and fun clutch on the way I will include in next month’s post. I also have a pair of shorts from thredUp, 2 pairs of shorts from Old Navy, and a few more pairs of pants/jeans currently on their way. I know it seems like a lot of buying, but with maternity wear, it seems like you suddenly need many new clothes. This time around I am showing much faster so I need maternity clothing sooner, too. I’ve also noticed most pants have the belly band start quite low so most regular tops won’t cover it. Then you need a maternity tank or top. But after this I am hoping to slow down on maternity purchases and being able to remix items I have.
How were your purchases this month?
