I still wear my maternity jean skirt. I haven’t been pregnant in three years.
Other confession: I’d still wear my super cute maternity jeans but they no longer fit because they are TOO SMALL.
This is not an earth-shattering confession

This here is my blog where I talk about my feeeeelings. I'm Mom to Carson, 6, and Ella, 5. I'm Jennifer and wife to Tate. I like to run and eat nachos. Not at the same time, though. Duh.

Love your expression! I too wear my maternity clothes on occasion. In fact, I am wearing my maternity leggings as we speak! LOL!
In all seriousness, there really ought to be a kind of denim that comes with a band that doesn’t dig.

I love maternity jeans. No snap/button thingy to stick out and your shirt looks smooth over the waist band. Just makes sense to me!

I still have my denim maternity skirt too!!!!!
I love it… refuse to get rid of it.
I wear my maternity nightgown because it’s comfy (no, it doesn’t have the boob things to breastfeed!).
I love the look on your face. I would wear my maternity pants, as I’m sure they’d fit (now I’m afraid to go try them on just in case they don’t), but it would just make me depressed. Although shopping in the plus-size department is kind of depressing, too.

If it makes you feel any better, I once bought a maternity skirt. When I wasn’t pregnant. (and it only fits me when I’m *not* pregnant.)
(it was really cute.)

I LOVE that you posted this!
You are my hero.

I wear my maternity underwear all the time….it’s my favorite.
Man, if my six year old maternity clothes were still in style? I’d be wearing them. Believe me, I’ve tried.
Ha! LOVE it. My HUBBIE pointed out that the shirt I was wearing yesterday was from when I was preggers with my son. Yeah, my son is almost FOUR.

Well you are pint-sized, so you look small in this photo and were a small pregnant person, yes? It’s degrees of small…
Plus, I’m looking at your camera. LOVE

Hilarious…I gave all of my maternity clothes to a sorority sister, like days after I gave birth. I miss some of the cute shirts I had…sigh..
On another random note, your hair looks fabulous. Just wanted to tell you that!

Sadly 13 years ago the maternity fashions were seriously awful, so I couldn’t wear them even if I tried. I mean I probably could wear them but then I think I would have What not to Wear knocking on my door.
On second thought where did I put that bin at…..
.-= Heather-Domestic Extraordinaire´s last blog ..You Capture-The Green Edition =-.
You are too cute. TOO!
I usually wear my early-pregnancy maternity jeans for at least six months after babies are born. We’ll see what the third one does… I’m betting a year at least. I actually love maternity pants, when they’re not falling down. So much easier to yank off when you REALLY have to pee!
That looks like a comfy skirt! I’d wear it too. No Shame!
.-= Lora´s last blog ..Ten Great Things About My Daughter =-.
That expression on your face makes me love you more than I already do.
.-= Angella´s last blog ..Not Spicy =-.
OMG that is so me. I glad to see I am not the only one.
You look adorable, so who cares! If they’re comfy, enjoy!
.-= Cheryl D.´s last blog ..Club Med Without the Alcohol- =-.
yeah, but you look stinkin’ cute in it anyway! And I LOVE your hair!
You are definatly not alone! and if you feel confortable and enjoy wearing them then why not.

Ahhhh, that makes me love you. And…ditto on the jeans. Sad.
(Also, how cute is your hair?!)

That is a great idea! I’d love to see the expression on a sales clerks face if I bought maternity clothes now.

I wear all my maternity t-shirts to bed,..albeit they are stained and stretched out,..but man are they soft AND comfy. I have a few pair of maternity capri’s that I refuse to part with,..so comfy,..no dig and comfy.
xox
love your facial expression! (my hubs frequently reminds me that I have worn a t shirt or whatever for YEARS,…..who really cares? )
You are SO dang cute!!!! I would wear my maternity skirt if I had one.
My maternity clothes were way cuter and fit better than “real” clothes.
PS what lens?
xo
I have a black maternity skirt that I still wear, and until about two weeks ago, I still wore only maternity underwear.
My husband let me go on a Victoria’s Secret shopping spree, and I bought a pile of new undies. But I’ll be honest with you–the maternity ones are still more comfortable, so I’m keeping them.
Thought you were confessing that you were pregnant until I scrolled down.
I wear a maternity tshirt to the gym sometimes. And I have a pair of capris that I wore until pretty recently.

Oh my goodness, those must be the smallest maternity clothes anywhere b/c you look tiny to me! And I love your expression. Too cute.
.-= Fairly Odd Mother´s last blog ..On the eve of her birthday =-.
Oh thank you thank you! I had my baby 9 months ago and I still wear my maternity jean skirt and everytime I do I set it in the pile to be packed away but I can never do it. Soooo happy to know I’m not alone!
Thank you!
It is bravery like this, that makes America what it is today.
Well done my friend.
Well done.
God I love you, Jennifer.

I am ticked at myself EVERY week for giving my maternity denim skirt away. You are an adorable genius.
.-= jerseygirl89´s last blog ..Happy Anniversary =-.
too funny
I continued to wear some of my cuter maternity clothing long, LONG after the birth of my last child – especially the flowy tops, which weren’t HUGE, but fit me where I needed it, and camoflauged what I hated about my post-pregnancy body.
.-= This Belle Rocks´s last blog ..Getting stuff done =-.
I was pregnant FOUR times. By the 4th time around, I was so sick of my clothes that I immediately boxed them up (AFTER the baby was born, of course) and carted them off to charity. I do know, however, that if they were still in this house, I would be wearing some of them! Props to you for ‘fessing up! Love the look on your face!
You have an ‘Inny’. Cute.
.-= lceel´s last blog ..Fragmented Friday on Tuesday =-.
Just one of the many reasons why I love you!
.-= Sarahviz´s last blog ..Electrolux- Serendipity and Kelly Ripaoh my- =-.
No shame there, mama, no shame at all. I am just impressed that you can wear a skirt, maternity or not, as the discomfort of having my inner thighs rub together has rendered me unwilling to wear a skirt for more than an hour or two.
My wardrobe is almost exclusively elastic waist so it might as well be maternity!
.-= mep´s last blog ..Are We There Yet =-.
While we’re in the confessing mood, I should probably reveal that I bought a brand-new maternity dress last winter. It was on clearance for $3 at Old Navy, was flattering, and didn’t even make me look pregnant. Which is good, because I’m not.
I’m also confessing that I can’t bring myself to wear it because it’s maternity, even though it’s flattering and only cost me $3.
I have issues, apparently.
I love it. And yes, I totally love it because I do it, too. My maternity “yoga” pants are my very most favorite.
.-= Heather of the EO´s last blog ..we had quite a long day- friends =-.
Love this confession and your expression is priceless. I still wear my maternity stuff too. Can’t help it, they’re more comfortable!
.-= Danielle´s last blog ..The Scale Monologues =-.
I wish I still had my maternity clothes to wear some days!! I’m stuck with two levels of pants – fat and not-so-fat…and on some days even the fat pants are tight.
.-= Sarah´s last blog ..Hair =-.
Me. Too.
.-= Erin´s last blog ..Happy Birthday Big Man =-.
I puffy heart you for this – both the fact that you do wear your maternity skirt and that hilarious look on your face. Would kill for the camera, too.

You must have been a TEENY TINY preggers lady. I still love my maternity leggings. andd….. the occasional bella band when my pants are in a bad mood and don’t feel like buttoning.
Love your blog. You are Very normal and your blog makes me feel rather normal too… not a usual feeling for me hahaha. Keep a writin’!
