I recently tried on a romper, let me just say- I will not be wearing one this summer. They are quite possibly the least flattering garment for a pregnant figure. This realization came with a tinge of sadness and disappointment because I love rompers- the simplicity of only having to choose one article of clothing with the comfort of wearing shorts. Here are some neat ones I would wear if I could...
The one shown on the mannequin is form Anthroplogie and the two others are from Urban Outfitters. I realized that along with my comments above, another romper quality I really enjoy is the shape and relaxed fit of the the shorts. All of the maternity shorts I've seen are either denim or khaki, not leaving much to be admired.
I found this lone pair of shorts on the Urban Outfitters sale rack, and while they are not maternity, they have an elasticized waist band! In addition the cummerbund style detailing in the front is very flattering for the baby bump.
So here is my attempt at a romper inspired outfit. I paired the shorts with a loose fitting tank of similar fabric and opted to forgo the belt because it was ridiculously hot outside. I'll admit my converse all-star shoe choice is not the best for this outfit, but I had to run outdoor water activities with 7/8 year olds all afternoon and I wanted to post an honest ensemble. I've resigned myself to the fact that when it comes to pregnancy sometimes comfort trumps everything.
