My maternity fashion consultant

I am one lucky pregnant lady. Just as I was really not looking forward to getting dressed each morning, trying to wiggle into clothes, using my bella band to cover up my protruding belly, Ele, owner of Love In Bloom Maternity, sent me a personalized box of oh-so-lovely goodies to try on. I can purchase what I want, and send back what doesn't fit. Brilliant thing is I am not the type to go shopping/hunting for maternity wear, let alone have the time to roam around shops. After telling Ele that I wished I had just a few nice items to wear but didn't have the will to go get them, she sent this amazing box. Today I am wearing fancy pants and a lovely top. I feel like a new woman, a fashionista, and pretty : )

Back when Ele was doing market research for her store, she interviewed me. I warned her I was probably off the charts in terms of her target market, and sure enough, my responses to her questions were basically how I never went shopping, couldn't justify spending much $ on maternity items that I'd wear for a few months, etc. Plus, being rounder than normal just makes shopping hard since when you look in the mirror, you know, it's just not the same. My eyes would go to cool tops that wouldn't fit.

Ele has opened a beautiful and successful boutique in Raleigh, NC, and I am thrilled to get her fashion help. As much as I am not into buying maternity wear, I do want to look nice. I love her taste and am so happy! Plus now I know that even after birth, I will need forgiving clothes for quite some time. In the end, she is so right about how important it is to feel good while being pregnant.

Thank you Ele for caring,  and making it easy for me! With these new clothes today, I feel pretty awesome!
