I went shopping with my mom yesterday, hoping to get some new dress pants, as my current ones are getting a little tight at the waist... We try Fairview Park Mall first, thinking that the Bay or Sears would have a maternity section. Wrong. How about Wal-Mart? Wrong. WTF?
Luckily, there's a maternity store down the road from the mall (where I bought those tummy shapers, or whatever they're called). Even more lucky is that they are very affordable (Only $35 or so for pants). Plus, in the dressing room, they put a stuffed pouch on an elastic belt in the waist band to be able to mimic a big preggy belly. I tried it on for kicks, but it almost gave me a heart attack. LOL
Anyway, I picked up 2 pairs of maternity dress pants, and let me tell you, they're SO comfortable! But they don't hold anything in, so everything is hanging out a little more than normal. I also got 2 blouses, one of which I can wear now. It's one of those tops that are in style, even though they make great maternity tops. The other one I'll have to wait until I show a little more. It's stiffer fabric and is a little less conspicuous.
I feel very fortunate that maternity clothes look just like normal clothes these days...
