not in one million years.

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be GRATEFUL for maternity jeans. Pants have been my largest dilemma thus far, and with Fall coming up I was getting nervous about how many days in a row one can wear leggings and still retain some modicom of dignity. Then, the other day, the heavens parted and my jeans from the Gap arrived.  While I am not a stickler for prices on quality clothing, I definitely hesitated at spending $250 for J Brand jeans that probably are more form than function, even for pregnancy.  I really really am all about being comfortable at this point so I thought I'd get my swollen feet wet with these cheap and cheerful, but still good quality jeans from the Gap.  And I've heard a lot about how nasty maternity jeans are - how they aren't cute and they are unflattering and also pretty uncomfortable. But I have to say, these jeans I just got are fucking awesome. I swear, they should NOT call them maternity jeans. They have an elastic demi panel so they should be called "Any day you feel like a fatass pants".  And when you're pregnant, you pretty much feel like a fatass every day, even if it is for a good cause, and even if you're not a real life rhino fatass, you still really feel like one. But when you're normal human, without an extra human along for the ride, you definitely have nasty days, and on those days, you should wear these.

It is literally sweatpants on top, sass on the bottom.
A mullet for your lower half, shall we say.

Disclaimer - i do not look like this girl in these pictures.

my ass is significantly fatter. but it's for a good cause.

$69.50, gap.com

I can't believe I am even writing these words, but I feel like an idiot for not having these pants when its that time of the month. Seriously. This is a revelation.

I'm so pleased you have found comfortable and cute pants! This was something I was never able to do. All my pants seemed to sag around the crotch area when I was pregnant - not attractive or clever.
