Mimi’s is not always expensive. I have a lot of friends who have had kids ahead of me. And all I ever heard was«that place is expensive, you need to check out JC Penny and Target». I have found them to be wrong. 1st: Sometimes when things cost more, its because they are worth it. Mimi’s clothes are more comfortable, wash better, and last longer.(Ladies, haven’t we learned this lesson by now?) 2nd: If you can resist all the well displayed new stuff at the front of the store and make it to the back clearance section, you can get amazing deals. I loaded up on cute $ 20 dresses the last time I was there. 3rd: I don’t care what you have to pay, you need a pair of the full on maternity jeans. I am talking about the ones with the stocking like material that pulls all the way over your belly. Why aren’t all jeans made this comfortable? Why do you have to be pregnant to wear these? I bought a target pair of jeans too, no comparison.
