Clothed by Target Clearance
August 31st, 2007In addition to kind gifts and loans from others, I’ve been rounding out my maternity wardrobe by haunting the Target clearance racks this summer, picking up a lot of “Liz Lange Maternity” basics for 50%-75% off. A pregnancy buddy from church does the same thing, and the past few Sundays she’s recognized “Did you get that from Target?” Sure enough, probably half of my current closet rotation is bullseye brand. Here are some of my staples… (and an excuse to show off my 25-week bump! 
)
<-Black dress $6.50 (So cute!)
Black knit tank top $2.50, Green shorts $6 (I love these shorts! I’ve worn them all summer because shorts were the very first category of clothing I outgrew) ->
<-Brown T-Shirt $5, Tan pants $6.25 (I have this shirt in pink and black too!)
Gray lacy knit shirt $5, Gray pants $6.25 (Only problem is my short legs mean both pants are a little long, but not too bad)
Gosh, it seems like just yesterday that I was 25 weeks (well, actually, it was more like May that I was…)! The outfits are adorable, and I remember combing through Walmart’s racks where I live, as sadly, Target doesn’t have much of a maternity section near me….You’ll thank yourself for spending so little, especially toward then end when NOTHING fits, and you may have to spend a bit more to find clothing that fits.
Enjoy this time…it goes by so quickly! My little one is already a week and a half old…it is all so very hard to believe!
Your bump is too cute! Target clearance supplied my maternity wardrobe too! Luckily those tunics and trapeze tops were all the rage last season–most of what I bought wasn’t true maternity, so I wore it as transition wear as well, and have even managed to pass some items off as “real” clothes!
Thanks! It’s fun to finally start looking pregnant. Time is definitely going by quickly when I think of all the things left to do before December.
Congrats on your new addition, Andrea! I bet you’re glad to be getting out of maternity
I love the dress! Aren’t Target clearance racks the greatest?
And your belly button is too cute. I once laughed myself silly at a friend who admitted to hiding hers with a bandaid. Then I tried it myself. Then I decided that I could live with everyone thinking my show-through belly button was cute for another couple of months.
Kim - LOL about hiding belly buttons. My dear husband finds it slightly disturbing, but hidden behind clothes I tell myself it just proves to everyone I’m pregnant. I did consider the band-aid thing, though, and won’t completely rule it out…
