$250 Maternity Wardrobe Giveaway!

November 24th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
feature photo

The holidays are just around the corner and one of Hollywood’s hottest maternity lines — Moody Mamas – has offered to give one of MY readers a $250 maternity wardrobe to start off the new year.

Moody Mamas is a hip and stylish maternity designer offering Moms-to-be a solution to keep their sexy, sophisticated style throughout their entire pregnancy. (Moody Mamas boasts celebrity Moms such as Heidi Klum, Jessica Alba, Ashlee Simpson, Tori Spelling and Laila Ali among their fans).

Unlike the moo-moo’s of the past, clothes from Moody Mamas are flattering. Plus, the line really helps you transition to everyday wear after pregnancy. Millions of women spend nearly $1,000 on a maternity wardrobe that, in most cases, they will never wear again. In sharp contrast, Moody Mamas represents a smart investment in this tough economy because so many of the items can become a part of Mom’s permanent wardrobe after baby arrives.

Moody Mamas is the brainchild of two fashion-savvy young women in their 20’s, Marta Abrams and Elise Rosemarin,  who are single and have never had babies! – admittedly an unlikely pair to design a maternity line. That is  is exactly why they have been so successful: they’ve thrown out the rulebook and are shaking up the status quo by creating a bold, daring anti-maternity line that has injected style and fashion flair back into the lives of expectant Moms everywhere. 

Moody Mamas is currently available at Nordstrom.com, Harrod’s and Belk, but as I mentioned above, one of my readers is going to win a Moody Mama’s wardrobe. So,  if you’re pregnant or if you know someone who is, you need to enter the contest below to win this prize, valued at $250, which will include looks that transition from day to night, from work to play and for every aspect of life. If you win, you’ll get to provide your preferred size to Moody Mamas, and they’ll ship you the following pieces:
