My last maternity-wear purchase....ever.


What the heck am I doing buying anything new to wear like 3 weeks before I have a baby? I can't help it. It's a sickness. And it's holiday time, y'all. The prettiest dresses of the year are out right now and I don't want to miss out on the fun. So despite the fact that I can hardly walk from one side of a room to the other at this point, Archer and I made our way to Eaton Centre to pick up this little number... on a SATURDAY - AT EATON CENTRE -  3 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS.


Like I said, it's a sickness.


But there is one and only one place that I consistently find super cute and reasonably-priced maternity clothes like this dress: H&M. 


It's kinda crazy. Only Eaton Centre in Toronto sells H&M Mama (only store in all of Canada, I think) and there are literally only 3 racks of Mama clothes -- but in a way, this kind of rocks my world. It's sorta like having your own personal shopper. The wise fashionistas at H&M have made all the hard fashion decisions for you. It's like they've said, "Oh we could give you more choice, but you don't need it - this is all you need." I think I would like the rest of the store better if it was set up this way.


There's not much online on the Canadian H&M site (maybe because they don't sell it at other locations in Canada - sorry!) but if you wanna browse, check out the UK site. And for those who don't live in Toronto, the Mama sections are just generally a good source of inspiration for a mom-to-be who wants to keep a bit of stye in her life during those hard 9 months.


It's a bit difficult to find the Mama stuff on the H&M site - you need to go to the category you're interested in - like "trousers" (UK fancy-speak for pants) and then look at the Mama category. It's all there. Check out some of these great inspirations looks (all pieces I've seen - and some I've bought - at the Canadian store):


























I might talk about my love of H&M Mama a little more in a later post but for now, it's all about my last dress... well, my last maternity dress. Let's not get carried away.

  1. These maternity clothes are beautiful and I'm sure that you can wear them even after you've had your baby. If you're looking for help with breastfeeding clothes, check out our Australian site at www.sweetlillymaternity.com.au
