Mama Style: Norma Kamali

ANOTHER DISPATCH FROM OUR STYLISH PREGO, JENNA!

Ok so last year I went to Norma Kamali and finally bought a proper bathing suit. Her cuts are really flattering and her spandex is super fine. I ended up with a shirred avocado green number that I was very happy with. (PS while I was there Carine Roitfeld, French Vogue Editor in Chief, was trying on suits in the next dressing room.) I had also tried on the classic One Shoulder Mallot and REALLY wanted it too, but decided it would be best to leave with only one $350+ bathing suit.. Then the saleswoman whispered in my ear, “We actually do the EXACT same cut for Norma’s line at Walmart and it is only $20!” What! So I got home and went straight to the site, but unfortunately they were already sold out…:(

Fast forward 1 year and now I am fat and pregnant, but I just remembered Norma at Walmart. Low and behold the One Shoulder Mallot is in stock and now she has Maternity. I just purchased her All-in-One Jersey Maternity Dress (that can be worn 5 ways) for $14!! I also got a slew of other great basic jersey from her. If you are prego and like jersey I suggest clicking on this link fast before it sells out...

I love Norma Kamali too, but come on, do you really want to support Walmart when they put so many American companies out of business?

I'm not even pregnant and I just bought the all-in-one jersey dress online today. Don't tell my husband. :)
