Maternity Clothes Are Truly Horrible

Apparently, all pregnant women should wear nothing but cheap-looking floral prints or horizontal stripes. Though retailers like ASOS and Boohoo are trying to make more stylish options, I can't shake the fact many maternity versions of straight-size garments just look weird (especially when so many of them are modelled by tall, slim models wearing fake baby bumps). So far, though I have embraced maternity jeans with all the enthusiasm of a 6-year-old at a McDonald's birthday party (Topshop under the bump Jamie jeans, in case you wondered), the rest of the time I am trying to make my regular clothes last as long as possible. Given that my pre-pregnancy personal style tended toward "does this hide my stomach?" territory anyway, this hasn't been too hard. Is that another M&S smock midi dress? Get in my basket.
