Cinch it!

Now – I’m no fashionista. Ask Daddy – he has on more than one occassion given me the once over and asked “Is that what you’re wearing?”. Although, that was pre-pregnancy. No way would he be dumb enough to say that NOW. Ha! See post “Bits of Crazy” for clarification.

But for me pregnancy still doesn’t equal frumpy…especially when I’m still working in the corporate world. Now that being said, I think I need to invest in a few good belts. Not to hold my pants up! Duh, I’ve got belly for that. But to give me a shape that doesn’t look like a blob.

I have several flowy, loose fitting sweaters. Alot like this:

: Forever 21

Very comfy and great for the office. But you know what? It hangs over my rear end and doesn’t follow the contours of my body…giving the illusion that I’m huge. It doesn’t help that said rear-end is expanding as much as my belly so it pushes the back of the sweater out more than it should.

I happened to be wearing a sweater in this style yesterday at work, and a passing glance at my reflection showed me how HUGE it made me look. HUGE! I happily display my pregnancy body, but let’s get real. I’m not THAT big!

So I’ve gotta go with a cinched in look. I’ve got to pull all that extra fabric in the back and actually have it lay against my body. I’d rather people knew I had a bodacious booty than wonder what’s hiding underneath that huge sweater.
