A while back, I got the coooooolest little maternity item.
Wanna know what it is?
It's a topless undershirt to cover my belly when I raise my arms or bend over. Crack kills, right? No one wants to see a pregnant mama bending over and her maternity jeans slipping off... nor do most people want to catch a revealing glimpse of half of her pregnant belly hanging over her pants (because even her maternity shirts are too tight towards the end).
Not only is my little topless undershirt saving me from unsightly wardrobe malfunctions, but it is also saving me MONEY. How many of your pregnant friends have complained that they had to buy a few things at the maternity shop to wear in the last few weeks of their pregnancy? I can think of a few off hand right now that have said this just recently to me. Now my maternity clothes will last all the way to the end - and I don't have to spend any more money buying clothes that I would hardly wear more than once!
I thought about taking a picture of me in my cool undershirt (and eventually I might), but I'm a little camera shy in my hippo state right now. Just trust me - the topless undershirt is a necessity for this queen bee! I'm thinking about buying another two or three in standard colors that match everything. The one I have is pink. I wear it with red and purple shirts. So cute for valentines under my soft red sweater!
The pregnant model below is wearing the black maternity cover (peeking out from under that neat little black and white print shirt). Believe me, if she raised her hands, someone would be able to pick lint out of her navel (me on the other hand... I have no navel any more).
Guess what?
Belly shirts aren't just for pregnant mamas. Nope. They are a one-hit wonder for the wardrobe - for any sized lady. Have some hipster jeans that slide down when you bend? Tiny tees that are so cute... but show too much of your tummy? What about all those high sweaters and shirts that seem to fly up when you raise your arms? They all have a REMEDY with these soft, comfy topless undershirts!
I love these little things so much that I'm doing a give away! Blush has offered to give one of any color away! You get to pick! You can even pick the retro circles below (one of my favorites).
Here's how you can get your groovy topless undershirt:
1. Visit the Blush site and look through either the maternity or regular styles to tell me which color/print is your favorite. If you are pregnant, look through the maternity ones; if you aren't, look through the regular ones (obviously). You must comment on this post to win.
2. Email your friends/groups or Twitter about the contest (or some other social networking site) and come back in to tell me what you did in the comments section here. You must leave a different comment for each "share the message" you send out.
3. Stumble this post and then leave another comment to tell me you did it.
4. Post about this on your blog and leave the link to your post in my comments section. You must link this post and the Blush site on your blog post.
I'll pick one winner randomly from the comments section. You have until the 22nd to get your contest on. All comments prior to midnight on the 22nd will be accepted as entries if they qualify! For the calendar challenged, that's next Thursday! You don't have to be a blogger or pregnant to win. Skinny layer-lovin' hip-chicks also qualify.
Good luck!

Aren't those one of the coolest inventions for moms-to-be?? When I was pregnant with Aden, I kept thinking Why didn't I think of that?? :)
I'm glad your pregnancy is going well. Tell the kids hi for us.

P.S. I'm thinking about switching to blogger. If you get a chance, will you shoot me an email with the pros and cons? :)
I love, love, love the retro circles. The chocolate might be more practical...
Just tweeted!
I just reinstalled my whack stumble toolbar, just for you. :-) PICK ME!
Those look so neat!! That would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe. The retro swirls are cute, but I would chose the brown.

No way! I soo need something like this. I have plumber butt in the worst way and simply can not find anything that rides high enough to cover the fits. this would be awesome! I like the Brown Lace one, cuz it would match most of my wardrobe.
Too cool! The black is my pick. Black goes with everything.
One wouldn't need those silly shirts if they would stop wearing those dreadful hip hugger pants.
Where were those nine plus months ago? I wished I would have seen those I would order. I have to say love the chocolate. One of my fave ways to cut cost on nursing wear, is taking a shirt adding the slits Then layering with another shirt. It gives that layered look, and allows for prepranancy wardrobe.
I personally love the retro swirls. I wear alot of black on black for work and that color would be cool. The site was cool, it cracked me up that if you read the Q&A section they admit that they really only have one line of Blush products, they just list them under two headings.
I'm pretty boring, so I'd probably just pick the plain old white. I love this idea! I could've used these about 5 years ago!
What a nifty idea! I like the black.
just statused on Myspace
If I won, I'd like the chocolate with lace (large size). I'm not pregnant, just regular. ;)
I just posted it to a homeschooling message board - www.homeschoolreviews.com. I hope that counts.
I love the retro one but I think I'd pick black first so I could wear it with pretty much everything. :-) Oh & this is the "regular" style.
I just shared a link back to here on Facebook.
Ah! These are great. I've never commented on your site before, but seeing as how I'm due in the middle of March and even my maternity stuff is giving everyone a glimpse of my underbelly these days, I'd have to go with the tan!
that is an amazing idea! I love the purple and the black with lace...
