So you say
;I'm pregnant and youre proud to say that you've speny $500 or
so on maternity clothes, excluding underwear. Now, before you
start wondering and complaining , consider these hypothetical
situations:
-
No
one was able to borrow you a thing - no matarnity clothes. Few
of your friends have kids. . A second had borrowed and returned
most of her maternity outfits; the few things that she bought
she had already given to her sister. Your niece who happens
to be 1 year older than you is also expecting, so she had no
clothing to spare. Thus, the best source of maternity clothes
? friends and relatives who have recently had children ? was
closed off.
- Your husband is a Harley
Davidson biking fanatic with nary an ounce of fat on his lycra-clad
body. His clothes barely fit you before I started carrying his
child. Besides, bicycle shorts and wildly-printed road jerseys
don't flatter pregnant women. This second-best source of maternity
clothes (the closet of the man responsible for your condition)
was also closed to you.
- You work in a professional
office with constant client contact. You like your job. It pays
well so you're willing to dress the part (but want to do so as
inexpensively as possible). Maternity boutiques cater to women
like you, but the dresses start at about $100 and the suits at
$250 at such stores. No, thanks. ?
- If you work at home, are
married to a big strapping guy who hasn't been on a bicycle since
grade school, and have sisters and friends who just completed
their families, you can probably stop reading here. If not, the
following tips may help you:
- Check out the matahari
or some of the innexpensive maternity stores in shopping malls
such as centro, Kuta square or even the specialized ones like
Clandys. some carry maternity clothes. Baby goods stores often
have a maternity rack, so consider looking there (especially since
you'll probably be spending time at such stores anyway). The matahari
stores might not separate out maternity clothes from other donated
items, but comb the racks if you are looking for something in
particular. I got a great score on a maternity bathing suit at
Clandys ? I don't think it was ever worn ? that was mixed in with
the other baby wear they carried.
