Walked into a shop today because they had a rack of stretchy tunic/dress thingies that cost $38 each. Which is pretty darn affordable for brand new clothes in Canberra – especially when it can double up as a before-and-after maternity dress/top.
Except the sales lady spent the next ten minutes giving me the hard sell, before smirking as I scuttled out of the shop.
I’m glad I did scuttle, because I got the docket in the mail today, went and collected my parcel and lo and behold – my mother had gone nuts. In the best way possible.
Check out the goods:

I think my weekend agenda has just changed to: clean out wardrobe, hang up maternity clothes, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
In case you haven’t figured it out – thanks HEAPS, Mum!

Thanks mum indeed! I dream about getting a box like that delivered.
Do you mind me asking what the shop in Canberra was? And do they deliver (to Sydney)? Affordable tunic style top/dresses are JUST what I need right now!

Hi AllyBubba! Thanks for stopping by! Always lovely to hear from another blogger.
It wasn’t actually a maternity shop I walked into. I cannot remember the name of the shop, but they sell formal dresses as well as day dresses. I’m not sure they have a website and if they deliver to Sydney.
On a side note – I’d just bought stuff from Destination Maternity. Cute, affordable clothes – but only if you make the shipping worth your while (i.e. don’t buy just one piece of clothing). Only thing is that they take for-evah! Made the order on 5 Jan – they had only JUST sent it in the post today.

Oh thanks, I will check them out. And being the optimistic shopper I’ll assume that it only took so long due to xmas backlog etc and cross my fingers!
