I'm addicted to buying mat clothes

I don't think it's really overkill, it just seems like a lot to me.  For the past 3 years I've put off buying clothes because I was always hoping to be pregnant or saving my money for treatments.  So I'd buy a piece here and there, but never ever bought a whole whack of clothes for any season.

I just went on motherhood's website and bought 3 pairs of pants, 2 dresses and a shirt - all for fall/winter.  But in my defense, it all came to $100 with tax and shipping, so it's not like I spent a fortune.  But still, it feels so weird to be spending money on myself.  

Re: I'm addicted to buying mat clothes

  • I know what you mean (about clothes in general). I really don't buy clothes very often so when I do, I feel like I'm spending too much! $100 is a really great deal for all of that though!!
  • Sounds like you scored some good deals! You know, my mom never spent any money on herself when we were growing up, the idea of spending $100 on clothing would have never occurred to her...but it always made me feel guilty. Like, she'd buy stuff for us kids and never for herself. I think you should enjoy treating yourself...you deserve it!
  • You reminded me that I had been planning on picking up a few maternity shirts...so I just ran out to motherhood and spent a whole lot more than I should have!  Thank goodness for credit cards!

  • A) it sounds like you got some sweet deals

    and B) you've sacrificed a hell of a lot of shopping over the past few years to get where you are right now, so I say spend away! Pregnancy is uncomfortable enough as it is, you might as well look/feel good in what you're wearing for it!

  • Motherhood Maternity totally saved my life when I needed clothes. I wore everything out! Don't even feel guilty, you will get lots of use!
