a challenge to enjoy dressing a pregnant or postpartum belly

Day Sixty-Eight


Thrifted a new shirt supposedly for postpartum (*coughstretchyneckcough*), but hey it fits now! I also broke down and splurged on a couple pairs of maternity shorts on sale online. My regular ones just can't keep up with my thighs, and it is just too hot to be without shorts (skirts are nice, but sometimes toddler-chasing requires a bit more freedom of movement). I will try to not get back on my soapbox about the evils of traditional elastic maternity waists, but suffice it to say that immediately after I tried the two pairs of shorts on, I had to immediately pull out the scissors and cut out the big restricting elastic band that cut right across my belly (causing the baby to kick violently). What is left to hold the shorts up is a stretchy fabric panel that can be pulled up or folded/pushed down and works perfectly. Blissful comfort. Um, so anyway, this outfit totaled around $15.
