The problem with maternity clothes

You know how every season, there are only a couple colors that are in fashion that season? It's not usually so much of a problem for adults--we buy one shirt of the It color and wear that shirt for a couple years, so overall we have a reasonably color-balanced wardrobe.

The problem with maternity clothes is you have to buy them all at once. But that doesn't mean there are more colors available. I just realized that of the ten shirts I own that fit, two are gray and white striped sweaters, and three are almost identical shades of teal. I guess it's good that I like teal, because it's 30% of my shirts at the moment.

Oh, is teal in this season? I should go shopping....

(Seriously, I've gone clothes shopping once in the past three years. It's sad.)

Dunno about for the general population. Sure is for maternity clothes.

At least this season's color isn't something like puce or chartreuse or something.....you can accessorize grey and teal. :-)

Teal is pretty!
