    Why, yes, these are Maternity clothes!

    April 12th, 2009

    Yep, it’s 7 months post-partum and I’m still sporting maternity clothes at least 2-3 days out of the week. Mostly the shirts, but I have one pair of maternity jeans that you’ll pry away only from my cold, dead fingers.

    Why?
    They’re comfortable as heck, is why! The fabric is soft, stretchy and the clothes just fit right. I swear maternity clothes are designed for real people, and real bodies while regular clothes are designed on top of a mannequin for a size 2 model and only enlarged for size. If only my body was an perfect scale of a size 2 life would be good, but it’s not, so…

    The only disadvantage to still wearing maternity clothes is that they’re not providing me with any real incentive to get back into shape. They hide my pudge, which is good, but it can’t go on for perpetuity. I lent most of my maternity wear to an expecting colleague, but I saved my favorite jeans and a few of my shirts for myself. It was my attempt to wean myself off of the Motherhood line.

    None the less I’ll be sporting my comfy shirts for as long as I feel like.
    And yes, that is a maternity top I’m wearing today 🙂
