New maternity consignment shop online
It seems InStyleBelly.com took a cue from North Raleigh's Jennie Greene and her Bellybundles.com maternity consignment idea.
InStyleBelly is now online selling trendy mothers-to-be used designer maternity clothes just like Bellybundles.
Looks like the site is just getting started, so the selection isn't big. But you will find a Juicy Couture dress, bootcut white jeans and few cute T-shirts and blouses.
