My friends, I'm convinced that it is the best of times to be pregnant... at least as far as clothing is concerned. All those loose, drape-y, flow-y tops people are wearing? Incidentally, they will fit pregnant women just fine, I have found.

This top, for instance, is a regular old non-maternity shirt bought at Target on clearance. {Size small, no less.}

I still find that I can wear a lot of my regular clothes these days... although not pants. Definitely not pants. But skirts, dresses, tops, and sweaters? Sure.

So quick, before mini-shirts come back into style: this is the time to be pregnant, I'm telling you. Because you know all you have to do is mention the word "maternity" to double the price of an article of clothing, and why would you want to do that? And why would you want to spend money on a new wardrobe for only a few months of your life, if you don't have to?

{you can thank me later for the frugal maternity fashion advice.}
