Because Black Never Goes Out Of Style

picture 2 150x81 Because Black Never Goes Out Of StylePregnancy “only” lasts nine months.

Thus, it’s hard to justify buying an entirely new wardrobe for such a short span of time. I prefer to buy a few fantastic maternity items that I can wear all nine months with ease.

picture 11 300x201 Because Black Never Goes Out Of StyleThat’s why Maggie Maternity’s Classic Maggie Box ($195) is so ingenious. It consists of four pieces – a skirt, a pair of pants, a 3/4 sleeve shirt, and a tank – all in black. Each piece is simple, classic, and incredibly soft. No frills…but also no “frump.”

figure v7i3939 195x300 Because Black Never Goes Out Of StyleI especially love the Figure Tee ($60, if purchased “alone”). The sleeve length is flattering, the rounded neckline is pretty, and the shirt is long enough to cover my burgeoning belly. I actually wore it in our family Christmas photo this year and I’ve worn it to several parties too, not to mention all of the other times I’ve worn it as part of my regular “work week.”

The tank is nice for warm weather and/or layering…and the skirt is great if you’re the skirt-wearing type during pregnancy (I prefer jeans/pants because I have a toddler to chase and I’m constantly getting up and down, which is hard to do gracefully at almost 30 weeks pregnant). The pants are comfy and great for lounging around the house, but I personally prefer a more structured trouser for “going out” (whether to a work meeting or to dinner with my husband).

All of the items are made of the same stretchy material and can easily be dressed up or down, depending on your choice of accessories and shoes. You’ll like these pieces equally if you’re in corporate America or if you’re at home with your toddler. And you’ll definitely wear them often – from that first positive test result to postpartum. I expect that I’ll wear these pieces even after baby #2 makes her debut in March…

WIN IT! One winner will receive a Classic Maggie Box by Maggie Maternity in the size of her choice. To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Sunday, January 11 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

    This would be perfect for my sister. She is having her 2nd child – 8 years after her first and she definitely needs these great clothes.

  2. I had one of the Maggie box sets and have to say it is the BEST feeling maternity wear out there! (And great for after baby, too!)

  3. Kali says:

    For those of us who just don’t wanna shop, a complete *comfortable* pregnancy wardrobe in a box is pretty much perfect.

  4. zmama says:

    Wow! Such a blessing for a pregnant mom :) Love the look, and love the fabric!size 4!!

  5. Becca says:

    No need for maternity clothes is one of the many overlooked blessings of adoption. But my little sister is newly pregnant, and I’d love to win this for her.

  6. Lachelle says:

    What a great concept. I’ve just started looking for cute maternity clothes again and this looks like a great starter piece (since I borrowed all my clothes last time from my sister in law who moved across the country).

  7. Anne says:

    Clearly I am hoping for a second pregnancy soon since I can’t stop commenting on all of your pregnancy items :) This really is a great concept though, and I’ll have to remember it!

  8. Deborah says:

    What a great idea to sell a ‘starter’ set of maternity clothes. I am pregnant and could really use more clothes that fit right and make me feel good about my expanding body.

  9. ashlynn says:

    Who wouldn’t want this?!

  10. Laura says:

    This really is a genius idea. Why do so many maternity clothes go crazy with patterns or large-tent-like-frumpyness in cut? I wore a lot of my normal clothes for a while (either they stretched, or they were wrap type, etc), with some a few maternity items (jeans, undershirts, etc). This would totally help my wardrobe though for baby #2. I love this put together box of black basics, esp. the pencil skirt. Too cute.

  11. Marlena U. says:

    What a wonderful set! This is every pregnant woman’s dream! And the sizing is flattering…I never could tell someone that I was a size “3″!! LOL!

  12. Naomi says:

    I wish I’d had this when I was pregnant… never say never, I guess!

  13. Rachel C says:

    man oh man, I’d love to win! I’m 23 weeks along with my first, so I am really just now needed to wear more and more maternity clothes. I would look so much better at work if I won! :) Thanks so much!

  14. Maggie M says:

    Another one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?” creations. I’d love to win this giveaway for my pregnant niece, in a medium:) Terrific giveaway!

  15. tanyetta says:

    This is the answer to my problems!!!

  16. Summer says:

    Just found out I’m 7 weeks pregnant. Each pregnancy my size has fluctuated so much (and it’s been different seasons) so I’ll need some new maternity pieces. This line looks so comfortable! I can’t stand anything tight fitting around my waist – I’d love this!

  17. Carol says:

    This is a cool idea, thanks for the opportunity to win this innovative prize.

  18. Aisling says:

    An excellent idea (and excellent prize). This is a great way to build a total maternity wardrobe with just the additional of a few pieces.

    I held off as long as I could on buying maternity clothes, but I”m at 30 weeks too and the wardrobe is getting desparate! Sometimes I wonder who is designing maternity clothes these days.

  115. joanna smith says:

    This Classic Maggie Box is truly an amazing way to create a number of different “looks” and outfits with just a few basic pieces. It is a must have for any mother to be.

  172. Nannette Ryan says:

    I like the innovation of this product

  173. Caryn Bailey says:

    I would definitely go with the Summer box living here in So. California. I sooo agree with you about not buying a ton of maternity clothes. I see so many really cute clothes but I think…I’m only going to wear them for a very short time, particularly because I didn’t even start wearing maternity clothes with my son until the second trimester. If I could get away with a few pieces that would be awesome!

  174. Deb says:

    This is possibly the greatest thing ever invented! I would love this.

  175. Rosanne says:

    Great set in size medium would work
