This weekend I went out in search for a pair of "skinny" maternity jeans. Got to Motherhood (after foolishly going to the mall and realizing they aren't there anymore because they moved to Turkey Creek) and grabbed a few to try.
Now, I have previously tried on skinny jeans in my pre-preggo state and they were um...not flattering. Basically they highlighted everything about my body that I would ordinarily try to disguise. But, for fashions sake I at least attempted them. Didn't purchase.
Fast forward to this past Saturday. Got my self tanner on(not that it makes your shape change, but thought it might help the ol' confidence) and I was ready to see if maybe now (23 weeks pregnant) the skinny jeans would work.
To my utter disappointment they are just as hideous on me as ever. Now mind you I don't think that the majority of people who wear them should either, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe they would work.((SIGH)) They didn't. Was not close to the above picture.
As I stood there checking my reflection out, I concluded (even though they were by one, get one half off) they shouldn't go home with me. If I didn't look like a lollipop entering the dressing room, I certainly did in that moment. Well, maybe it was more like a pear with two tapered stems supporting it from the bottom. It wasn't right. No skinny maternity jeans for this momma...and you should be thankful.;)
What trends did you want to try only to later decide that you couldn't pull off?
I've been only sort of wanting to try the leggings with a long shirt/sweater or short dress with some boots trend. BUT I've decided that my behind and my belly and my short legs would not take kindly to that. It's tempting but I am going to resist.
