I remember feeling pretty darn guilty buying Maternity clothes.
Besides the fact that they were only going to fit me for a few months, I was also pretty sure that by the next time I was pregnant (we're talking like 5 years) the clothes would probably be out of style.
And WAY too big for me, since I will never have twins again (I mean, most likely).
Mmm, but I remember pulling on those (totally expensive) maternity jeans, with an elastic waistband instead of a stretched out ponytail linked through my button hole and thinking "Not only are these totally worth it, but I would pay double because I never want to take these off again."
The only real problem that I found with maternity clothes was the horrible lack of nice, dressy clothes. Or um, a single dress for pregnant women that wasn't baby doll cut.
I wanted to wear dresses (comfy!) but always ended up looking like a tent or worse.
And the moment I stopped being pregnant, all my pre-pregnancy clothes were too small and all my maternity clothes were too big.
Enter Jules Ford Maternity. Super darling, totally classy, timeless maternity wear.
I'm 100% sure that I could wear one of these dresses for every pregnancy and it would never go out of style. (I even tried to convince Jules -the designer- that she should send me a dress for free to *ahem* review. But as she pointed out... I am not pregnant. Blast! Foiled again!)
These dresses are completely adorable, wearable, and I'm mildly obsessed with looking at their website and imagining being pregnant again. I mean, seriously? {This dress?} Drool.
Anyway. This is a long post, where I'm getting gabby and I shouldn't be.

Those dresses are awesome! I would get the shane dress, we have some weddings coming up and it would be perfect.
I took a peek at their site (just for good measure) and hello! They have a Claire dress! So that's what I would buy. Because I loved it before even reading its name. And it seems classic enough that I could wear it whenever I end up needing to :)
I think I would spend the gift card on the Frankie dress!
I'm not pregnant, so your not getting another cousin, but I will be again some day. I love the Claire Dress. That would be my first choice. But unusually I really liked the Lane Dress too. I think I would just look fat in the tunic. hehe
I would get the Clair dress. So cute.
Hey there :) I came across your blog a few days ago :) love it :) I have 9mo old identical twin girls ( and a 2yr old son) so I can relate with some of what you share here :)
Anyway... I would totally... for whenever down the road I get pregnant again... get the Shane dress- love, love, love!
I would either give the gift card to a good friend who is about 12 weeks along or scoop up the Claire dress for myself and stash it in the closet for a couple of years :)
