I have never been pregnant (thank goodness) so I can only imagine how hard it is to keep up appearances while toting around a 7-8 lb baby in your belly. That is why I applaud apparel retailers like Pea in the Pod and all of the designers that design maternity wear.

That being said, I have to hold my applause on this look and instead hold the rim of my toilet. My goodness, this outfit is bad. I saw the ad in Vogue's September issue and immediately felt badly for all of the poor defenseless pregnant women out there who saw it.

Out of 840 pages of fashion I am sure that was the only pregnant lady selection in the whole magazine, and that is what they got. A sparkly mess of an outfit topped with a furry parka and latex leggings. It's just too much shine, its even too much shine for someone who isn't pregnant.

Women of the world, would you wear this look? Or am I just biased because children and pregnancy aren't my cup of tea? There are some other great maternity looks for Fall 2007 on A Pea in the Pod's website, so take a look.
