I can shop anytime, anywhere. However, when I became a stay-at-home mom, I had to deal with a tight budget that <i>completely</i> broke my shopping habit.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Yeah. Right.</b></span></span></h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I still shop; I just do it frugally now. Frugal is savvy, ya know :O) </span></span> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First of all, why shop online? </b></span></span></h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because it saves time.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">No penetrating through traffic, or running in and out of stores; just plain consumer fun in the comfort of your own living room. </span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But you still gotta be frugal. An online bill racks up as fast as a physical one.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jhRaDKgMdlo/UZ8IPTzLnwI/AAAAAAAAQUc/lSoHioLLsYA/s1600/Unipice+0.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="458" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jhRaDKgMdlo/UZ8IPTzLnwI/AAAAAAAAQUc/lSoHioLLsYA/s1600/Unipice+0.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Before breaking bank (again), check out these tips on how to save money shopping online:</b></span></span></h3> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /> <h3> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>1. Know your size - your <i>exact</i> size</b></span></span></h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Returns cost money. Even if a store allows free returns, you still have to spend time repackaging and going to the post office.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To avoid return fees and the inconvenience, shop at familiar stores, where you know your exact size.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you have doubts, don't buy it.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pnZ8bNBO9eY/UZ8Id7MyHuI/AAAAAAAAQUk/H7mwdJBeEpE/s1600/Uniprice+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pnZ8bNBO9eY/UZ8Id7MyHuI/AAAAAAAAQUk/H7mwdJBeEpE/s1600/Uniprice+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span> </div> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>2. Choose stores with incentives</b></span></span></h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Incentives include free shipping for purchases over a certain amount, generous return policies, seasonal deals, holiday sales, etc. Basically, anything that benefits you, and gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In my book, ALL stores should offer incentives of some sort, but especially stores online.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Online stores are more cost-effective than physical stores. Therefore, they need to be that much more generous to customers, and offer completely alluring deals. </span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To become even savvier about finding online deals, try sites like <a href="http://www.uniprice.com/en" target="_blank">Uniprice</a>, where you can compare various online deals and find the highest discount.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j3zfrt4mEKE/UZ8IjOXG8-I/AAAAAAAAQUs/1_7q_EpBPeI/s1600/Uniprice+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j3zfrt4mEKE/UZ8IjOXG8-I/AAAAAAAAQUs/1_7q_EpBPeI/s1600/Uniprice+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span> </div> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>3.

Are you spoiled or something?</span></b></span> </h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Spoiled?</i></span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hardly. New moms are too busy to be spoiled. But most of us do feel awful about our figures. After nine months of growing and stretching, even the fittest moms gain unwanted weight.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">LOTS OF IT!</span></span> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, we are not spoiled. We are self-conscious.</span></b></span> </h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Getting back to pre-pregnancy shape is painful!</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's achievable, but is such an enduring process, as our bodies slim down only in gradual steps.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And because it takes such a long time -- months and sometimes years -- to get back in shape, wearing clothes that fit gives us a (much-needed) confidence boost.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But wait! If your body changes all the time, don't you have to shop for new clothes all the time too?</span></b></span> </h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yes.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And yes, it gets expensive. That's why I shop at Ross and TJ Maxx. Also, it helps to get the same types of clothes. I like slouchy tops and skinny pants.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To additionally justify the expense, I try to make transitional clothes last<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">even when I've lost most of my p<span style="font-size: small;">regnancy weight.</span></span></span></span></span> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h3> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, how do you make post-pregnancy transitional clothes last?</span></b></span> </h3> <br /> <h3> <b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3 steps:</span></span></b> </h3> <br /> <h3> <b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Tuck it in.</span></span></b> </h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A lot of my transitional tops are one or two sizes bigger. Now that I'm smaller, they look frumpy. I tuck them into pants for cleaner appearance.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <h3> <b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Roll em' up.</span></span></b> </h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some of my transitional pants are a bit loose. The bottoms started to drag. Rolling them up into carpis makes them sleek.</span></span> <br /> <br /> <h3> <b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Take a hike.</span></span></b> </h3> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I only do this when I don't wear the baby in a carrier. <span style="font-size: small;">I wear heels to give the entire outfit a bit of a <span style="font-size: small;">lift.</span></span></span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rk8uiKzOwUE/UZnKHi-xIBI/AAAAAAAAQR0/4nMS6q8IoXY/s1600/fashion+blog+-+post+pregnancy+dressing+0.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rk8uiKzOwUE/UZnKHi-xIBI/AAAAAAAAQR0/4nMS6q8IoXY/s1600/fashion+blog+-+post+pregnancy+dressing+0.JPG" height="640" width="426" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7fLpeM9L5J4/UZnK4i1nkoI/AAAAAAAAQR8/3luUucaTzLI/s1600/fashion+blog+-+post+pregnancy+dressing+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7fLpeM9L5J4/UZnK4i1nkoI/AAAAAAAAQR8/3luUucaTzLI/s1600/fashion+blog+-+post+pregnancy+dressing+3.JPG" height="640" width="426" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you've been through the postpartum process, can you commiserate?</b></span></span></h3> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></h3> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></h3> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Did you wear post-pregnancy transitional clothes, and how did you make them last?</b></span></span></h3> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /> <br /></div> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheGirlieBlog/~4/rD2LSH7taaw" height="1" width="1"/>Beauty Fashion Skin Care Blog - Girlie Blog Seattlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12570872654773804597noreply@blogger.com20http://www.thegirlieblog.com/2013/05/how-to-make-post-pregnancy-transitional.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520306113849303042.post-28020133076619493062013-05-19T01:32:00.000-07:002013-05-19T01:36:35.224-07:002013-05-19T01:36:35.224-07:00<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm not an accessor<span style="font-size: small;">ies</span> person, but since I started writing <a href="http://www.thegirlieblog.com/" target="_blank">fashion blog</a> posts, I've paid more attention to accessories and jew<span style="font-size: small;">elries</span>.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most p<span style="font-size: small;">eople think<span style="font-size: small;"> that</span></span> accessories are used to complement an outfit, but in reality, they do much more than that.
