Maternity Capsule Wardrobe + Pregnancy Clothing Hacks to Save Money

[@jennifergriffith1287]

Well, I have no prospect of pregnancy as I’m 62…..can’t help myself but HAVE to watch you even when it’s not applicable to me in my phase of life. You are such a joy and have such a beautiful attitude.

[@charlenelindsay2019]

Dear Kristen, This has been the most uplifting episode. I'm 77 years old and almost wish I could use your pregnancy hacks. Lol. Super creative. I'm sure your younger subscribers appreciate what you have brought to the table today. Hugs💞

[@susanschuck8124]

Kristen I can’t say how much I love your channel? Your home, family and you are beautiful! Thank you for having this channel. I can’t click fast enough when I see it pop up.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!!

[@divasmom8]

Kristen is gorgeous! Such a natural beauty, she has passed those genes on to her beautiful baby girls (with help from Josh 😊).. I can’t wait to see their new little princess ❤️

[@odemonet]

You would look beautiful in a potato sack Kristen. You are gorgeous and you have such an amazing personality. I hope she comes soon, fast and healthy. 🙏🏻♥️

[@anna-mariedictson7381]

I completely agree! She is just gorgeous and has the sweet soft kind personality to go along with it???

[@lose999]

True confession: I sometimes buy maternity clothes when I'm overweight. I love the ruching on the sides of tops and stretchy pants.😉 I haven't been pregnant since 1992. You look adorable! Outfit repeats are all the rage any time of life.

[@TheRayjane]

Kristen you are the most beautiful pregnant lady I’ve ever seen! When you said I’m a mom of three girls soon to be another baby girl, I got Holy Spirit chills. I’m a Nana so far from being pregnant, but I loved all your tips. Your outfits are all so stunning on you. Blessings beautiful lady🙏🏼

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow, thank you!

[@sandrajohnson4370]

You look radiant. My three granddaughters never bought maternity clothes. I think because they thought they were frumpy. You look adorable

[@Karla4040]

Am I a mom? No. Pregnant? No. Do I watch all of your pregnancy/mom related content. YES! Hehe. Love the tips for future considerations 🫶🏼

[@natureandnorth]

I am binge watching all your videos. Discovered you last week and I am so addicted. Thank you for sharing your blessed family and beautiful curated living. It gives me joy.

[@noeminakolar2151]

I'm 31weeks pregnant with #6 we are having our first baby girl and are very excited 😊

[@peachbeach23]

I loved this and needed it! I’m 8.5 weeks with my first baby!! I’ve been wondering what to do about clothes, not wanting to spend tons on outfits I’d wear for 2 months or so. Love it!! So helpful

[@KristenHoffman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rebeccareimer]

23 weeks, and only needed some hand-me-down maternity clothes (bottoms especially) around 20 weeks. Flowy dresses have been my go-to so far!

[@justbeachyjade]

Soon to be first time momma here, almost 20 weeks. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! 🙏🏽 The frugality in my personality has such a struggle with the idea of buying expensive maternity clothing to only wear for a short time. I also am not a leggings fan, glad to know I’m not the only one! Might be in our 30s but you are STILL glowin ☀️

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

Great tips! I’m 4 months pregnant with my 3rd and am ready to shift my wardrobe with more comfortable pieces! Thanks for these hacks

[@janicebaker-lv9er]

YOU DEF HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL BABY GLOW!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING TO US ALL!

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow, thank you

[@maryoleary2037]

I had my three children in the 70s. Back then we didn't wear anything stretched tightly over the bump, but rather things that flowed over it. I was teaching school at the time and we were not allowed to wear pants. So I sewed jumpers, that came just below the knee. One had a rounded neck, one a V neck and one a square neck, in navy, brown and black. They were sleeveless so I could wear just about all my sweaters, blouses and turtlenecks underneath, leaving the bottom few buttons open on the blouses. For casual wear I took my jeans and pants, opened the front zipper, and folded back the material on each side, to make a large V. Then I took the stretchy top to a pair of panty hose and sewed it into the opened V.. Of course, I had to wear a loose top that covered the panty hose part. After the pregnancy, I took that panty hose piece out and went back to wearing the pants as normal. Happy delivery, hope all goes well!

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

Kristen, you are beautiful personified❣️❣️

I'm 71....so no chance of me needing maternity wear....anytime soon.😂😂....but did watch all your CUTE outfits.....so different from YEARS AGO....looking forward to seeing that sweet new baby...when she arrives!!!God Bless❤

[@maryhalliday7739]

I know the clothes you have wore have been so stinking cute and comfortable. I know everyone will appreciate this tips, cause maternity clothes are not cheap and all. Kristen, you are so beautiful...just down to Earth and so sweet.

[@RitaVernoy]

Praying for you and baby as the date approaches.

[@StephanieAndrews-n9y]

I love your channel!❤️ thank you for sharing and speaking against society’s normalization of needing to spend more and more money! I’m 5 months pregnant with my first and dresses have been my best friend so far!🙏❤️

[@susanschuck8124]

You look absolutely terrific for 9 months pregnant! 🥰🥰

[@ritastutler1470]

I am too old have a baby , but I love to see the progress 😂 of the next little Hoffman. You look so beautiful in the intro, but would look beautiful if you had a paper bag dress. I love what you said about how we are way more worried about we have on than other people. So many people get in trouble financially that I love how you can teach thrifting and some constraint when buying clothing, home decor, etc. I can not wait to see this new little girl. I have to tell you every time since I do hair, that your hair is so amazing. I actually thought when you had Josh’s tee on you looked too cute in it. Have a great rest of the week.❤❤❤❤

[@trinatolman2776]

3rd pregnancy currently. Trying to not feel so frumpy. Thank you for your help!

[@fawnwolf]

That blue dress looks divine on you!!! Makes your eyes pop so much 💗

[@KristenHoffman]

Oh thank you!

[@LindaParra-kr4kl]

You are such a Doll!!! Every one of your suggestions are great and make sense! Thank You so much for sharing these great ideas. May God give you and Josh and the Girls a very healthy Baby and a sweet Delivery........Continued Blessings!

[@jessbahr9507]

The prairie dresses are SO cute. They’re so versatile, can go dressed up or casual, work in spring, summer and fall and can make you feel cute even when your bloated 😂 I hope they stay in style for a long time.

[@Brittanysplittany]

This is great! Currently in the second trimester with my first baby. We are so excited. I appreciate the tips, thank you!

You make everything look awesome! I know the time is near, and possibly you have a new little girl in your life. Prayers for you & all your precious family. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sharonalbright1334]

Hi Kristen, you look so cute in everything! You are such a beautiful and sweet lady. Praying you have safe and healthy delivery!

[@ncl-ibelieve8421]

Good video. When I was pregnant I purchased spandex clothing that I wore even after the pregnancy. I did purchase maternity jeans, and past them along to a single mom. I don't particularly care for maternity clothes so oversized or spandex worked for me.

[@PamelaBercegeay]

Great info for expecting moms. So helpful.

[@saranovaa]

9 months pregnant with my first baby and I’ve experimented with a lot to feel comfy. My sore feet are a huge challenge so I have to wear compression socks and comfy sneakers. My go to is maternity joggers and t shirts. Nothing fancy but it works! Just a few colors in each. Next time I would size up, the belly reallyyyy grows in the last trimester!

[@CatherineBrown-c3i]

Oh my gosh I couldn’t believe watching this video how much you have popped out!!😂 Praying for safe delivery for you and baby .❤

[@laurieritson9486]

I love your honesty and down to earth mentality...you're my fav!! I am not pregnant but I am going to use the band hack!❤

[@judybryant3880]

Not going to need any of these ideas for myself but maybe I can pass them on to someone who does. I just loved seeing you in all the different things you're wearing during your pregnancy. Of course, I think you could probably wear a tent and make it look good pregnant or not but the black dress was adorable on you with the throw, the shorts, tshirts, whatever you modeled, I loved. The button and band idea might help a lot of people really. Thanks Kristen. I always enjoy your videos.

[@janvan4424]

Your hair is gorgeous 😊

[@cherylweaver5129]

Awesome hacks! I'm now a nana but I would go for the loose tee shirts most days around the house. You looked so cute in everything even your husband's tee. Stay comfy.

HAPPY SUNDAY Kristen, family, and fur baby sweetheart. ENJOY YOUR WEEK. STTB

[@anna-mariedictson7381]

I am here for all the tips!! I am on baby number three, but I have huge gaps in my girls ages lol. My first is 20, 2nd is 8 and now I am in my first trimester for baby #3 at 40 smh lol. My daughter had a baby so I still have a could maternity dresses of her, but they are kinda too dressy for every day, so I cant wait to hear all the money saving tips an tricks, because when I took her maternity clothing shopping, it was sooo hard to find maternity clothes and they were so expensive!!!

[@ldw737]

This is great! I’m due in September with my 2nd. I’ve also tried to use what I have/my friend group shares. I did find a brand of pants called Emme though. 100% linen and you can wear them before/during/after pregnancy bc of how the stretch. They are kind of pricey, but did find 2 pairs on Poshmark. Would recommend that brand!

[@Nanugale]

Thank you Kristen! I am a new mom here in Argentina and I'm petite so much of my clothes not fit me right now but definitely I'm following you advice. Thanks and you looks radiant 🎉

[@lavettamoff7883]

You look beautiful. I remember back in the 70s when I had my 3 babies, we had maternity shops,but I think your ideas are nice and cost-effective.

[@markellastrat5980]

This video came right on time! I’m 19 weeks and I’ve bought a couple non maternity dresses that I wear all the time 😅 I also got two maternity ones from old navy but they’re still kind of big. It’s my first pregnancy! I can’t stand wearing jeans! I might get some stretchy linen pants though!

[@sandracreates775]

Love this video! 💖

[@ruthb3606]

I am 16 weeks into my third pregnancy 🤰🏼 I have used several of the hacks you mentioned, but I also have found that investing in some maternity clothes helped me feel more confident. When I tried to just wear bigger clothes I felt fat. I was able to thrift most of my maternity clothes, I definitely wouldn't buy new unless you can find good sales!

[@vickiebelk635]

[@maryannkilduff8659]

You are adorable in anything and everything you put on! Great hacks, I raided my hubbies closet with all 4 of my pregnancies! I bought a couple of outfits with my first but after that I made do with whatever. In the Summer months I lived in sundresses! It won't be long now, you are glowing!! ❤

[@FASTBACKKAT]

You always look great, when i was pregnant i bought what was comfy ,my husband was in the navy thru most off my pregnancies 3 of the 4 and i got to go to navy thrift stores, found alot of marternity clothes there, and i usually just had a few favs i was comfortable wearing ALOT ! ONE WAS A GREEN JUMPER DRESS,,AND AT THE TIME, BEING STATIONED IN KEYWEST, the jumper sleeveless was cool and comfy. Hugs , have a wonderful time you have left till baby comes ,,🙏🙏❤❤

[@margaretpervier8357]

You’re glowing 😊❤❤❤

[@tammyleviner3070]

You look beautiful mama!!! And regardless what you wear, you're still beautiful😊 I gained 62lbs with both my babies, the oldest was winter months..i wore sweats, leggings, yoga pants and did the elastic band trick on the jeans,( its been a trick for many many years lol.. my oldest is 38!) And bigger hoodies or sweaters. My youngest was summer months,..i wore big tee's, elastic waist or paper bag shorts, sun dresses.. summer was easier. I bought very few maternity clothes, they were either second hand from yard sales or consignment shops, thrifted or Walmart if new! In summer I didn't like clothes😄 At home i stayed in my hubbys tee's.. I'm a sm/med and he's a xl/xxl.. or gowns! I was lucky enough to not have to work thru my pregnancies. (I did borrow some dresses from a friend for church😊) I'm gonna be honest.. when a pair of jeans get a little tight on me i still to the elastic band trick..my weight fluctuates so bad🥴 i can't buy multiple pair in 3 different sizes so i stay in one size! I don't buy them tight anyways so that elastic still works girl😁 I'm way past the age of having babies but I'll always remember what worked without spending alot of money! And what was most comfy. My daughter wore the same things, she's got 4 children and she's your age. I think this was a great video for expecting moms or for those trying! So excited to soon meet sweet baby girl🥰

[@sherrykahn2474]

Cant wait to see you with your new little girl. You look beautiful. You are very smart buying regular clothing during your pregnancy. You are a great shopper.for a new again mom to be!I admire you!! 😁❤🙏👍

[@jacintasalt8731]

Agree. Second-hand clothes and larger sizes in my closet covered my needs for pregnancy and postpartum. I did have to buy new underwear. The body products sound amazing.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant with our first and I haven't bought any maternity clothing. I live in Texas where it's 95 degrees right now. I'm just wearing my same old cotton sundresses. The only shoes I'm wearing right now are arch-support flip flops because if I wear anything else my feet hurt terribly.

Love these tips. I’m 33 weeks with #5. I got rid of all my maternity clothes since we thought we were done. I’m just taking advantage of dresses and the looser clothes I own. I’ve also raiding my husband’s closet. I have had to purchase some bras.

[@KristenHoffman]

[@rkubss]

One hack is actually go to old navy and check the clearance rack for maternity. I’m assuming since They don’t sell in store they put the returns on clearance. It’s so much cheaper than online! I’ve also bought maternity jeans from there and the thrift and chop them into jean shorts!

[@KristenHoffman]

Great advice!

[@rachellebrooke4614]

You’re so beautiful with your belly! I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant with baby #5. I also don’t love maternity jeans so I’ve been using a belly band and hair elastic to make my regular jeans work. Although now that it’s hot I’m mostly wearing skirts and maternity tank tops or prairie dresses everyday. I have the same green square neck tank top, plus several others in that Old Navy line. They make some with ruffles on the sleeves that are my favorite! Actually I’m wearing one right now 😂

[@jayneanderson8057]

Love your channel!! I have been someone who likes to keep a limited wardrobe my whole life. I have a few outfits for home and one or two dress up items. I can mix and match things. I buy quality when it is on sale. Makes my life simple. By the way, if you know the brand of paint and the paint color you have on your living room walls, I would love to know. God bless you and your family with the new addition of a baby girl.
