Where is a Mama Llama who still hasn’t lost all that baby weight supposed to shop?
My Favorite go to stores for great deals are
People are shocked when I tell them something is from Walmart. You have to look around… but you can really find some great deals in the shirts, skirts and dresses there. I have never had true success in the pants…
I totally believe in buying nice quality clothing… but not until I know I am going to be able to wear that item of clothing for a while. (I know..my baby is almost a year, so I can’t use that excuse much longer…but hey, I am still nursing)
Also, I am not willing to spend the big bucks on a “trend”. Anyone who knows me, knows I usually come around to a trend very late… after I see a handful of cool people I know wearing that trend…
Like Capris (I know… 10 years ago), crocs, leggings an tunics, long boy shorts….all these things I have said “I will never wear that” only to eat my words a year later. HA!
Nor do I like this weird zipper look on the back of dresses
(looks like a defect)
But next year I am sure I will like it (not sure I will ever like that zipper). So if I want to test out the new look, I would rather pay $10 at Walmart then $40 at Ann Taylor Loft.
So when I ate my words this fall and finally bought a pair of skinny jeans
(Despite the fact that I am indeed not yet skinny, and the fact that I swore I would NEVER buy skinny jeans)
I didn’t feel bad that I would only wear them with my riding boots and rain boots and my fake Uggs…because they were only $13 at Target.
So new moms (and even moms with almost 1 year olds…ahem)--
You can keep up with the latest trend without breaking the bank.

ReplyDeleteOh Carrie, there's just so much to say to you on this post:
ReplyDelete1--you still remain on my top five list of women who have a KNACK at looking awesome without blowing their savings.
2--I am still protesting the plaid thing...I can't do it.
3--I'm glad that you, too, believe that nursing keeps a few pounds on you. I really hope it does, cause I need an excuse for it to go away. ;)
Yep, all those stores have great deals. I love shopping at Old Navy -- especially their clearance racks.
ReplyDeleteI love their jeans because 1) they stretch, and 2) they are that awesome soft denim...not the scratchy rough denim.
Comfy clothes at great prices.

Carrie - SO True! :)
ReplyDeleteThat exposed zipper is very in. I tried on the most adorable dress at LOFT that had one. I loved it, but I couldn't afford to spend $30 on a article of clothing I don't need with no job! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I shop at all of those store first! They are all I can afford most of the time:) But you look just as cute in those Target Ugg Boots!
