It’s hard to believe that one week ago, I was pregnant and now I’m not. I’m not complaining…at all. It’s just the strangest feeling to be pregnant for almost an entire year and then one day you’re just not. I am overjoyed at having our baby girl with us. I’m not one who does pregnancy well. I don’t glow and generally just feel awkward. Because I think that there might be a women or two out there who feels the same way I do, I appreciate and support companies that strive to help the pregnant woman look and feel beautiful.
Moody Mamas is a line of maternity and nursing clothing popular among celebrities (Jessica Alba and Tori Spelling). And I’m not surprised that this is the case since they’re clothes are hip and trendy. When I got pregnant with my son, I only knew of one store that sold maternity clothing (and you are probably all familiar with it). I wish I had known that other options like Moody Mamas existed. Most pregnant women experiencing normal, healthy pregnancies continue to work and engage in their normal activities. It becomes increasingly challenging (especially in that third trimester) to find comfortable, fashionable clothing to wear to work and outings. Whether you need something casual for the weekends or something more formal for work or going out, you’re certain to find that Moody Mamas offers much in the way of style.
Now, if you’re like me, you perhaps can’t justify spending a lot of money on an entire maternity wardrobe that will only be worn for less than one year. Many woman spend up to $1000 on a maternity wardrobe they will likely never wear again (unless they have more children). Fortunately, Moody Mamas recently announced that they would be selling their clothing online at Target. When I visited their online site, I found that the most expensive piece retails for $59.99 (compared to pieces starting at well over $50 on their main site).
Moody Mamas was surprisingly started by two women who’ve never had children. Their goal was to design a “bold, daring collection” inspired by the runways. Some of the styles are hip while others more sophisticated. Much of what I’ve seen I’d wear long after the pregnancy (particularly since I don’t see myself fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes in the foreseeable future). Target offers comfortable lounge-wear, nursing essentials, everyday casual-wear, and dresses for going out.
I received a gorgeous pair of black pajamas. They’re super soft and cozy and I wore them until I delivered. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) they still fit since I am still rocking a bump! I can actually wear the pajamas for lounging around at home because they don’t really look like your typical pajamas.
If you’re looking for affordable maternity and nursing wear that you’ll enjoy wearing during and after your pregnancy, check out Moody Mamas. You can also visit their main site and click on “Steals & Deals” for savings up to 60%. They’re also having a sample sale if you’re in the Los Angeles area.
