I remember looking at pregnant ladies and judging them before I knew what it was like being in their shoes. Frumpy dresses, pants that needed to be pulled up, not-so-cute patterns... And now, in a way, I've surrendered and become one of those ladies. I have more style than I seem to have these days. Sure, I'm still put together alright, but peasant skirts aren't really my thing, and this dress was bought yesterday... not in 1992 like it appears.
Shopping when you are pregnant is a drag. Not only do they not make very many cute clothes for maternity, they continue to make cute clothes for those who are not pregnant. I was once not pregnant, and I was once a person who bought cute clothes. I don't consider myself very materialistic, but when I am going to spend money on something, I make sure I darn well like or love it. Unfortunately, I am now confined to "maternity" and find myself making purchases more out of necessity than excitement, and there is always compromise. At least I won't have to do as much shopping for the next pregnancy. It's just that 1992 will be even more long ago than it is now... Some styles come back around, though, right?
i totally agree. i think in the end i had/have about 2 shirts and a skirt that i actually think are cute. the rest...i bought because i had to. there are cute maternity things out there is you can spend $100+ on ONE shirt or one pair of pants. it really is unfortunate.
