Who Wears This Crap?
So I have officially given up on finding maternity clothes that I actually like. I mean, yes, there are a couple things I’ve found that are comfortable and sort of cute, but I already own those.
I was in Motherhood Maternity, and out of everything in that store, i found one shirt I could see myself wearing. They wanted over 25 dollars for this TEE SHIRT and at closer inspection, it looked like it would fall apart in about 3-4 washes. I must have tried on five different dresses before I finally decided that I am done.
I don’t know why the people who design maternity clothes assume that all pregnant women have the desire to look 35% frumpy and 65% quiet, demure housewife, but I don’t. I just want a tee shirt or two that look halfway decent. So we move on. I guess I’m buying a lot of men’s tee shirts in large and hoping for the best.

Motherhood Maternity SUCKS!!!!!! Their clothes DO fall apart in a washing to two.
By the third kiddo I got it right-Old Navy Maternity and Gap Maternity. Gap I went to for two pairs of jeans that I *LIVED* in. Old Navy was good for t’s and whatnot.

Yeah, none of the Old Navy stores near to me have a maternity section–and I am a try things on kind of person…because there have been a number of things I *thought* were cute until I put them on! Not sure if any Gaos near have maternity (we’re currently in the middle of nowhere so “near” is a relative term!).
