When it comes to baby and maternity clothes, I hate spending money on things that I am only going to use for such a short time! Maternity clothes especially can be really expensive. With both of my pregnancies, I have been fortunate enough to have friends pass on some of their old clothes. Hand-me-downs have seriously been great, and their clothes are always still in great condition. During my first pregnancy, I ended up doing one big shopping trip from an online consignment shop to get the rest of the staples that I needed. Unfortunately, my second baby is going to be born in the exact opposite time of year. I have one September baby and am expecting our next little one to arrive in April. Guess those prized maternity jean shorts won’t come in too handy for this winter pregnancy. Now it’s time for another shopping spree from thredUP! Check out this post to read my thredUP maternity review and see some of my favorite new pieces for fall and the upcoming holiday season.

Shopping thredUP

thredUP is an entirely online consignment store. You can filter your results to see just your favorite brands and styles. It saves “my sizes” and starts with only those when I search for anything. I also always turn on the “new with tags” and “like new” filters. This makes the items more expensive, but I know that they are going to be a good value because they are still less expensive than full retail price and will be in good condition. They have a full section of maternity clothes and much better selection than others that I have seen.

Have maternity or baby clothes to get rid of?

You can also sell your items using thredUP’s website. They send you a clean out bag, you send it in, and they sell your items for you. The payment process depends on the items that you send in, so check out this page here to see what they accept and how you can expect to get paid for your clothing and accessory items.  You can use these sales dollars to buy yourself some new post-baby wardrobe treats.

My Haul

As I said, I went on a big shopping spree to get ready for a fall and winter pregnancy.  I ended up with 4 dresses, 7 tops, a paid or leggings, and a pair of tights for a total of under $200. 

It was a very big haul for me and more than I usually spend on clothes at one time, but I feel like I got some really great staples. I’m going to need them since I am 18 weeks now and already showing much more than my first baby!

Here are some of my favorite pieces from my thredUP order.

I really wanted a good pair of maternity leggings! These have been hard to find used in good condition because mamas tend to love them both during and after pregnancy. I am so happy to have found this awesome pair for under $14.00!

I could also live in this pull-over. It’s between a t-shirt and sweater in weight and has ties up the sides so that I can make it flattering now and as my belly grows.

 

I absolutely love this t-shirt dress. It’s super soft, stretchy, and comfy. It’s easy to dress up or down (especially with these great maternity tights/nylons). I wore it this past weekend with a little belt on it to make it a little more flattering for now as baby’s growing.

 

One of the hardest things with dressing maternity wear can be finding things that fit correctly at any given point in your pregnancy. I feel like everyday I have to try on my clothes to see what fits as I get dressed and ready for the day. The teal shirt, gray dress, and the green sweater below are all awesome staples that will be able to grow with me.

 

You can’t ever go wrong with a cozy, soft, and stretchy sweater in the winter, right? Love this one!
