Okay, to say that I have been disappointed in my maternity clothes options this pregnancy would be a complete understatement. Apparently 'tent' is back in, the empire waste that billows open at the bottom. Sure, you can find a few cute things, especially if you are willing to pay out the behind for them....otherwise, it is seriously tough pickin's out there.
I have been stalking Gap and Old Navy (more in my price range) and have been sorely disappointed. What I WANT are normal looking shirts. Cute t-shirts that fit OVER the belly, and come back in at the bottom. Ruched on the side is acceptable. I have barely found anything, though. Either they are the dreaded empire tent, or else they have unflattering t-shirt sleeves, or else they are scoop necked. Um, apparently the so-called 'maternity' models don't gain any extra padding in their chest areas. Seriously, we are looking at 'a' cups, people. I highly doubt there is a preggo out there who can wear a scoop neck and not feel like a prostitute.
ANYWAY.
My sister has been helping me with my maternity dilemma. Enter Heidi Klum. Thank you, Heidi, for designing more hideous maternity options for those of us who already feel like we belong on a dairy farm amongst the cattle. Our favorite option???
Hold on to your seat.....
Wait for it.......
You are not ready.....

W-O-W!!! This is an outfit suggestion? Not an undergarment? Hmmm...I bet you could rock it! :)
Yes! I concur! I went to Motherhood Maternity for this very reason, to check out her line.. I was so pumped! Um... came out empty handed.. lame, lame!!
ha ha, you are so funny. that image is seriously disturbing. yuck-o. i bet you look cuter in a tent than you think, though ;)
Come on Joy, you would look hot in that it's kind of like when Sandra Dee gets cool and pregnant in Grease, you remember that scene don't you?
wow! yes, that is....interesting! I would have looked like a huge whale in that when I was pg and 230 lbs!!
W-O-W that is all i have to say. Maybe it would work if you were moonlighting as a pregnant super-hero. You just need a mask!
UM. Um......
What I can't believe is the SHOES. WHAT PREGNANT WOMAN wears shoes like that unless she wants to end up in the hospital? Seriously? Heidi?????
And I know, when I was researching this for you, I seriously could NOT stop laughing.....obviously Heidi doesn't gain any weight when she's prego.......she doesn't get swollen either.
Heidi Klum. Seriously.
Joy, do you see a business in our future? Maybe NORMAL maternity clothes? Made for normal moms? Not hideous.

I think I need to blog about this, too....stay tuned.
Blogged it. Furious.
I'm not a fan of the maternity clothes out there either. And that outfit is awful! I have just bought me the Bella Band so I can still wear some of my regular pants and I just went to Downeast to get some shirts, they fit tighter but are nice and long.
laughing my HEAD off right now! shut up and go get yourself a flattering, stylish one piece outfit...in yellow.
What's so wrong about it? The necklace and stripper shoes totally make it work! ;)
PS: I have TONS of 'normal' stuff sitting in storage if you wanna use it!
That made me laugh!! You are so funny. Agreed though.
I don't see what you are complaining about here...I mean honestly! That is exactly what I want to wear this pregnancy. I think I might look totally hot (insert sarcasm)!
That's disgusting! I bought a few shirts from lilac maternity. I've really liked them but they are pricey so I got them on babysteals.com. They're meant to wear before, during and after and I think you really could. My mom also found one on clearnace at expected by fort union and sent it. Good luck though! Maternity clothes were really cute until I was pregnant I swear! Like remember when target had all those cute ones last summer? Yeah, not so much.
wait. are we talking about the shoes here?? who wears those when your pregnant? and look at that outfit! ;)
I totally agree Joy! I saw a bunch of heidi's stuff and was not impressed! I am having a really hard time finding maternity cloths too :( I went to target and bought some of their boy friend t's and they are perfect, They are long and cover the belly and they are stretchy so i can wear them the whole pregnancy. Plus they are light weight so they will be nice in the summer. They are really cute and flattering(they have a v neck) I dont feel super huge in them. Let me know if you find anything else thats cute and cheap. :)
SO i guess target calls the t's i was talking about mossimo pocket t's. They come in every color
