Clothes

I have a bone to pick with all the woman out there that are designers - clothing designers.  We pregnant women are pissed that we are forced to wear baggy-tent-making-unattractive-clothes.  Why is it that every where I've shopped there is nothing but large baggy prego clothes.  Don't get me wrong, they have some t-shirts and tanks which is nice, but i can't wear any of it to work.  Example A:
Yesterday, I had a training class to go to with all the other benefits people in So Cal.  Afterwards we were going out for drinks and dinner (no I didn't drink!  But I did discover that if you mix cranberry juice and orange juice and a squeeze of lime...its fantastic!).  So here's me in the morning looking at what I currently have to choose from.  Jeans - ok good choice.  t-shirts - no.  tanks - no. and a "flowy, flowery" top - can we say old lady?  (they try to make it "modern" by giving it a v-neck cut, but really its still crap.  I ended up walking out of the house in a black and grey stripped sweater and jeans.  I looked like a blimp.  Ok maybe not a blimp - but i didn't feel like myself.  I don't need to look sexy or anything, but attractive would be kind of nice, especially before i have spit up all over my clothes :-)

So I ask you Donatella Versace, Donna Karan, Viviene Westwood, Vera Wang, etc...you guys want to pitch in and help out the prego clothing designers?  We really could use a little "pick-me-up" in the prego clothing realm.  I don't think woman will stop having babies anytime soon so let's hurry up and get a move on!

Disclaimer: I'm feeling slightly blue (I hear that can happen) and I literally have nothing to wear to go and hang out with my girlfriends tonight.  Thus my sappy, poor me post.  I promise to uplift the spirits in a couple of days...
