Please Change the Fashion Code
To begin . . . the fashion code I am talking about changed some time during the 9 months I was pregnant with Lucy Anne. You know, the "wear-your-pants-so-low-I-can-see-your-underwear" fashion statement. Britney Spears, I would love to have a sit-down chat with you (for many reasons)! First of all, I believe it was meant to be a sexy thing to see your underwear (and, no, Brit doesn't wear Granny Panties) but not everyone wears her type of underwear. And I would like to meet the guy who thinks Plumber's crack is sexy (to put it quite bluntly). I also don't think that bulging hips and belly are sexy either which is another side effect of the low-low wasted pants.
As I mentioned, the style changed somewhere during pregnancy. So, after finally getting rid of my maternity clothes, that I happened to wear a bit longer than 9 months, I went shopping for some new jeans. A higher wasted jean that doesn't make you look like an 80's mom, who can find? So, I went with the more teeny-bopper style because I was so paranoid of "looking like a mom". I got the jeans home and discovered I had no long-wasted shirt to cover those gorgeous, bulging hips and belly! At first, I thought all of this was just because I was "in between" my pregnant weight and my old, girlish figure. However, I have noticed this style looks good on you only if you are anorexic. Ladies, we need to revolt!!! For the sake of our precious baby girls! Not that Lucy Anne will be wearing this style any time soon, but it WILL COME BACK!!! Some how we must erase it from the fashion history pages! I am sure I am a lot of talk . . . I will continue to wear my somewhat low-waisted jeans (what choice do I have) and always remember to pull my shirt down and my jeans up before sitting down. Is there a compromise?!!
