I reaaaally want new jeans, but I'm holding out on those since I still have 8-10 pairs that I wear even though I just don't love them anymore. But I still buy tops since I actually don't have a lot of those and do need them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-pre-ttc-is-saving-me-clothing-money#post-476750 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:14:08 +0000 fuzzypeaches 476750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish that would happen to me! I think I'm trying not to jinx myself by "preparing too much" in case it takes longer. Boxing Day was not a friend to my wallet at all ;) I also keep telling myself this might be the last time I have a decent figure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-pre-ttc-is-saving-me-clothing-money#post-476711 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:57:32 +0000 spaniellove 476711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: Same here. At first I thought "well I just won't buy any colder weather clothes". Then it got to be colder and I definitely wasn't pregnant but I wanted to update my wardrobe, so I ended up buying clothes anyway. Now I want spring clothes and have the same dilemma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-pre-ttc-is-saving-me-clothing-money#post-476587 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:03:14 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 476587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: I'm kind of worried about that -- we want to TTC in spring, but if it doesn't happen quickly (and who knows, right?) then I am going to want to buy some spring clothes. :) But I'm keeping my eye on maxi dresses and clothes that might transition well at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-pre-ttc-is-saving-me-clothing-money#post-476581 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:02:01 +0000 kentuckygirl 476581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely helped me for a while. Then as TTC stretched on and I went to the mall Christmas shopping, I splurged! I probably spent what I had saved in the past months of not shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-pre-ttc-is-saving-me-clothing-money#post-476579 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:01:23 +0000 lawbee11 476579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Initially I did this, but then I just started buying clothes one size bigger so that I could grow into them! I am actually really glad I did it because I am almost 8w pregnant and super bloated. So the pair of jeans I bought pre-TTC have actually come in handy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-pre-ttc-is-saving-me-clothing-money#post-476562 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:56:38 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 476562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... because every time I see a piece of clothing I want to buy online I end up clicking out of the window and telling myself it won't fit sometime this year anyway (hopefully!). :) </p> <p>All the cute sweaters and jeans I want to buy seem useless given that we're going to TTC in a few months. I know a lot of pre-pregnancy clothes can still be worn for awhile but hey, if this is something that actually *prevents* me from online shopping I may as well go with it, right?</p> <p>Anyone else do this? Think I can hold out? ;) </p>
