Bargain finds!

I swear there is a talent to finding amazing sales - some people just seem to have a nose for it! I'm not in Goodwill often enough to do some serious and regular mining of their finds, but did find two tonight! I'm also having success at the Target off of Rt 17. None at the one in Central Park, though! Bargains are picky things ...

Anyway, I was awfully concerned about being able to eke my regular clothes out as long as I could before switching to maternity clothes. Maternity clothes are *not* cheap, and it's hard enough finding good petite pants/jeans that are regular size, much less maternity! BUT! there is hope for our heroine :) So far:

Pants:
brown, khaki, denim and tweed: 2 for $7.50 and 2 for $12.50, marked down from $25 and $30 at Target!
black: Motherhood maternity, $20 down from $40
khaki capris: $5 at Goodwill, apparently from a bulk delivery at Target! Brand new :)

Skirt:
still getting good wear out of my regular skirts! Go figure, although it probably won't last too much longer :)
courderoy: $15 at Motherhood, down from $30. Hooray!

Tops:
New York and Co: $10 each for two tops, not maternity but certainly cut like they were! On sale from $30
Target: $10 and $7, down from $20 and $25
Kohls: $15 (my big splurge) down from $30
Goodwill: $5 for a Motherhood Maternity top - beautiful red and white calico! Whimsical but feminine :)

Dress:
Christopher & Banks: $15 down from $40. It won't go more than a few more weeks, but it's lightweight enough that that's okay. It'll be awfully nice to have in the spring while things are (hopefully) starting to shrink back down!

And Lord knows how much my Bella Band has saved me, letting me continue to wear regular pants still! I find I just need longer tops to cover it now.

19 weeks and counting :) And only 17 more days til the ultrasound!
