I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

InStyleBelly for maternity consignment

first-shoot-edit0012When your wallet is shrinking and you belly is growing, where do mothers-to-be go to find chic maternity clothes? Or better yet – when your baby is born and your belly begins shrinking – what do you do with your all of your maternity clothes? No one knows better than mothers, like Krista Karo, founder and CEO of InStyleBelly, an online maternity consignment boutique for stylish expecting moms that buying new maternity clothes can be extremely frustrating and expensive.

The solution is a trend that has become extremely popular due to the hard economic times – consignment. InStyleBelly offers the opportunity for mothers-to-be to dress with the same fashion and style while they are pregnant as when they are not. Additionally, for new moms looking to get rid of their maternity clothing, InStyleBelly is a place where recent moms can sell their outgrown maternity clothes for some extra money.

Krista Karo, says, “There might have been some stigma with buying someone else’s castoffs but now, more and more consumers are looking for ways to cut corners. Consignment stores are no longer seen as secondhand, but vintage.”

InStyleBelly’s collection currently includes high-end design from such as Diane von Furstenberg, Isabella Oliver and Michael Stars as well as some more mainstream designs from Old Navy, GAP and Ann Taylor.
