Pregnancy Apparel!

Q: I still like to buy maternity clothes, even though I'm not pregnant anymore. My husband thinks it's totally weird, but I think if it's cute and it's on sale, then it doesn't matter. Who's right?
A: Well, fashion is not really my forte. My fashion sense is barely one step above those people who wear socks with sandals.
 I think it started when I was in 5th grade, and I asked for a pair of Guess Jeans for Christmas. My step-mom bought me Lee jeans from Kmart, and she drew an upside down triangle with the word "Guess" inside of it, with puff paint. I wore them cause I'm sweet and she was well-meaning, but my interest in clothes kind of fizzled out after that. (True story. Ask my friends.)
That being said, I still have an opinion on everything, so here it is... I don't think it's weird at all! I love sales, and anyone who knows me knows that I love comfortable dresses, and I wear them everyday. So for me, a maternity dress on clearance is a win-win, whether you're pregnant or not. If you like it, wear it!
 In fact, I wore one of my old maternity dresses to church a few weeks ago, and I'm not ashamed. I even got a couple compliments on it.
You are so pretty that you would look good wearing a paper bag! Whether it was a ziplock bag, or a Hefty Hefty Cinch Sack, you would still be gorgeous in it, no matter the size!
So my answer is, you are right. Your husband is wrong. To prove your point, next time you go shopping just buy some maternity lingerie. I bet you won't hear him complaining about tags and sizes then. Problem solved!
Sincerely, Kimmie

  1. I too like to buy maternity clothes even when I'm not pregnant... but, when I do wear said clothes, someone always asks me when I'm due or how far along I am. I try to tell myself that they just recognize the dress from when they were shopping in the maternity section.
