There's comes a point in pregnancy when nothing else compares to the tragic fashion statement of stretchy pants. Sweatpants, yoga pants, gauchos, track pants, and other size-forgiving pants of that nature... they're heavenly.
This is especially true after a work day in which I must endure "business casual" in the form of maternity pants or pre-pregnancy pants with a bella band. (P.S. The bella band is an indispensable accessory in any maternity wardrobe - see http://www.ingridandisabel.com/ for what I mean.) Anyway, after a day of restriction, the lower abdomen is in need of looser comfort and the only sufficient option comes in the form of super soft cotton and, of course... stretch. Thankfully, there are acceptably cute options available that allow for errand running and guests over without embarrassment.
But wait... there's more...
Have you seen how much cuter options are available in maternity pants? So why are people still wearing those hideous over-the-belly-panel-pants? They're not even comfortable. And why do they even sell maternity underwear? If your butt gets bigger, just buy normal underwear a size bigger! It's bad enough that the majority of tops and shirts are empire wasted or tie behind the back, allowing us to look like 2nd graders or housewives in aprons.
So to all of the above, I say "no thank you"... accept to you, stretchy pants... you're always welcome in my closet. If we have to put up with our bodies getting huge and out of sorts, at least give us something fashionable to wear. Right?
Now if only we could get professional places of employment to accept flip flops as formal footwear with dress pants when our "cankles" make their appearance...
