Imagine wearing this crazy getup during your pregnancy? I don't flippin think so.
Thank heavens the floaty silhouette is in this summer, or else I'd be up fatso creek without a paddle.
I am "in the family way" (isn't that the dumbest expression ever?) and let me tell you, finding cute clothes that fit isn't so easy.
Sure, you hear that it's easy, and in theory, you think, why yes, I can be a fashionable pregnant lady.
Um, no you can't.
Because:
1) Maternity pants fall down and make your ass look saggy
2) You can't wear really flat shoes or really high heels. In fact, experts recommend a two-inch broad-soled shoe. Right. Did you read that? Have you even seen a pair of shoes that match that description other than in an old-lady shoe shop?
3) All those well-shod pregnant celebrities are buying clothes at boutiques you can't possibly afford
4) Gap is closing down it's maternity sections in Canada. So you're stuck with Old Navy instead. I can wear Gap, I can't wear Old Navy. You can try. More power to you.
Luckily I'm still able to fit some of my sundresses and blouses from last summer, and the few things I did buy at regular stores are billlowy.

Ah Helen, I totally sympathize. I too am "in the family way" and having to pick my way through the horribley unnattractive maternity wear offerings to find things that look somewhat stylish.
Alas, I don't have a stylist or a massive budget as Hollywood celebs do to help them mitigate dressing during this time.
Having done this before though (this is #2) I can assure you that it does only last 9 months. My recommendation during the latter months is A)stock up on Lululemon outfits and B) hibernate.
Congratulations on the baby!
