Bottoms have been a nightmare for me as sizing for maternity wear is so different to normal clothes. I have had to rely on skirts (not maternity specific) I currently had in my wardrobe with an elastic waist to get me by. I did however get a maternity top from my maternity clothes haul at the Boohoo 50% off sale. I do feel as though I chose the wrong colour as my skin did get darker during pregnancy (a.k.a “Pregnancy Glow”) and the cut-out shoulders became invisible.
With the opening of TK Maxx (rebranded Trade Secrets) and their amazing clearance section, I was able to nab amazing bargains, including this layered skirt! Although they say that you are getting a bargain, you’re only truly getting a bargain in the big red sections that say “clearance”. The rest of the store is the “bargains” will have the same discount you will get at any department store. I also love how they set it up by size so you can limit yourself to this section only.

I can’t complain as I spent less than $20 on this top however, just like the layered black dress and the staple black dress, the top attracts lint like crazy! Especially with a bump on full show, it emphasises the area and screams “you need a lint removed, stat!”. On the downside, we have less than a month to go and we’ve lost the lint remover!
