Milan Maternity Review and Giveaway - So Stylish and Affordable!
6:24 PM Posted by Deanna - Mommygaga
As my baby bump emerges, I am finding it harder to make my existing wardrobe work. I hardly have any maternity clothing from my last pregnancy. I did not really start getting big until about January and we were in Green Bay, Wisconsin, no need to dress up in that weather! I found myself wearing long sleeves, sweats and hoodies daily so I did not have much of a desire to shop for maternity wear. Now that I am back in sunny San Diego, I really need to dress the part!
I was so excited to get the chance to review an amazing piece of clothing from Milan Maternity! They have a great selection of stylish and affordable maternity wear that can keep your wardrobe looking chic without emptying your pockets. I chose the Carissa Kimono Style Maternity Top in Grape and I absolutely love it! Made of rayon and spandex, it is extremely smooth to the touch, comfortable and looks really cute on. I can wear this top throughout pregnancy and even after. I am currently about 17 weeks pregnant and already able to fit into the shirt very nicely. There is ample stretch room in the front of the top where my belly will soon fully fill. Also, I had my sister try the shirt on and it looked great on her flat tummy. I can wear this top for quite a while, and if we decide to have another baby in a few years, i'm all set!
Check me out, I should be their next model... LOL
