At 26 weeks' pregnant, my belly would no longer fit into my old winter jackets and coats. I tried each one of them on but was unsuccessful in buttoning or zipping them all the way down - only the top button would close. It's not cheap to buy winter apparels especially a warm and fashionable jacket or coat, not to mention that I have more than enough of them, so it wasn't really my plan at all to buy one anytime soon - pregnant or not. When I told Vince about it, he said we can just buy a new jacket for me, but the idea of spending money on a winter jacket that will fit me through pregnancy didn't sound too appealing to me, because I was thinking that I'm not going to be able to use it anymore post pregnancy. Thanks however to my friend, Tin, who brilliantly suggested that I buy a poncho instead of a jacket, that way I can still wear it even after I give birth. Since we're now living down South where winter is not as bad as when we were up North, a poncho is sufficient to keep me and my belly warm! So, when we went Black Friday shopping last week, I didn't hesitate on buying the first poncho I laid my eyes upon.

| Gray cotton/polyester/acrylic knitted poncho by Calvin Klein |
It was a good thing that Calvin Klein had pretty sweet deals last Black Friday. This poncho was originally priced at about $100 at the outlet store, but I got it at a discounted price of about $40. I also bought a wool coat which was originally tagged at $260 but when the cashier rang it, it came down to only about $118. I'm really happy with my Calvin Klein Black Friday purchases... if only every day could be a Black Friday. Hehe!

ReplyDeleteMost pregnant women lament the lack of attractive, affordable plus-size ... good pair of black pants, a flowy silk shirt in a solid color, a beautiful poncho or jacket.
ReplyDeleteWOW! you becoming more blooming in your pregnancy :-)
