Maternity Monday: New Look Maternity Essentials Pack

I like the idea of this “maternity starter pack” — and I know I’ve seen similar but I’m blanking on where. For $76.15, this pack includes a maternity mini dress (probably more useful for work as a tunic top), jegging, legging, t-shirt, long-line camisole, and over-the-bump band (super helpful for those early weeks of pregnancy when your regular pants may stop fitting but you don’t want to give in to maternity clothes just yet). Each one of these pieces could cost $20 elsewhere, so to get all six pieces for $75 seems like a good deal. Readers, have you bought similar “starter packs” anywhere else?

Hey there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted
to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading your articles.
Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums
that go over the same topics? Appreciate it!
I’m 8 weeks pregnant so would be interested to hear what you ladies have to say about this maternity starter pack and whether it’s worth it.
For no apparent reason, I am totally freaking out about leaving my daughter today. As most readers know, I work full time and I usually don’t have any issues saying goodbye to her in the morning! But today was hard and now (an hour and a half into my work day), I’m still incredibly anxious. Any advice/sympathy? :(
One thing I wore throughout both my pregnancies was a long drapey cardigan. Great for disguise during the first few months, and fit when nothing else would during the last few. It’s all about the layering, right?
Slip-on relatively flat shoes are also a must, but since it’s pretty common to change shoe size during pregnancy I guess that’s harder to get in advance.
