Have you taken a stroll through the Junior girls department at any store lately? They’ve taken my old maternity wardrobe, cut it down to fit a size 3 and put it outfor sale. Didn’t pay me a penny, either, the b&stards. And the shocking part is the girls are actually BUYING it!
These were ugly when I was pregnant. Amazingly enough, they still are.
Pencil point leggings with hugely oversized shirts? Got ‘em. Boob hugger peasant blouses with airy, tummy-hiding fronts? Check. Peter Pan collars–PETER PAN COLLARS, for criminy sakes! Oh yeah, got a rack of those too. And as if that doesn’t affront the senses enough…
They’re in 60’s psychedelic prints! (My eyes! MY EYES!!)
What –I ask you– are the manufacturers smoking? These outfits scream “17 and knocked up!” and look like they’d blend with the ugly kitchen wallpaper Mom had in the 70’s. Why anyone would want to drag out my moldy maternity wardrobe to make a fashion statement is beyond me, but I really think they should pay me for it. Fashion icon that I am, you know.
At least my oldest daughter agreed with me that these type of shirts looked bad!
Gotta agree on the ugly blind your eyes prints that are in fashion now. Have to say I’m enjoying the hide your belly shirts though, lol.
Call me weird but I kinda like ‘em. And especially the “hide your belly” part…
Hehehe. I always think that when I see these blousy clothes! Although I enjoy the part about it that hides the not-so-flat-tummy, the rest is all ick.
But, it’s probably nice for all the moms-to-be out there…
My daughter and her friend were out shopping once. My daughter’s friend was wearing one of the belly hiding shirts. Some lady walked up to them and asked my daughter’s friend, “Aren’t you too young to be pregnant?”
The girls were floored.
Oh my goodness Kween! How rude was THAT?!
LOL- and sadly, these tops really can make look even the littlest teenager look preggers. Which is why I’m not wearing ‘em, because I just don’t need rumors even though I’m married!
I can’t resist- please insert random Sarah Palin daughter joke here.
You could TOO resist. *chuckle*
Nice dress
