I could simply don one of these comfy muu-muus and there would be no more hassling with trying to find something in my closet that I could fit into besides the maternity clothes. No more stacks of pants and skirts in a useless heap. No depressing realization that, yes, my hips really did get that big during pregnancy. Perhaps I might even arrive on time to places since I wouldn't have whittled away so much time in my closet. And only imagine--if I had been wearing a muu-muu today, my daughter wouldn't have said to me with such a cute, excited little grin, "Mom, are you going to have another baby?" Just love that one!
I think this muu-muu is really my best option during my current clothing crisis. But you decide. Here are the other less desirable choices:
Keep wearing maternity clothes. Ugh. Gag.
Wear too-tight old clothes anyway until body starts to go numb and lose circulation. Naah, not such a good idea.
Stop eating chocolate cake. No way man.
Spend lots of money for a "transtional" wardrobe. No thanks. I could just open the garbage can, drop the money in and save myself some time.
Hang out in the g's all day and never leave the house. Hmmm, definitely not. Besides going super cuckoo, I'd have to pay the kids' counseling bills one day for the visual trauma I inflicted on them in their tender years.
Wear the one pair of pants and shirt that do fit every single day. Um, yeah, I kind of do this already. But maybe I should do this with a really cool reason for doing this, such as rejecting consumerism like the gal who wore the same brown dress for an entire year: The Brown Dress Project. Quite an interesting story.
Now you may be wondering what the difference is between the muu-muu and maternity clothes. Good point. Not much, I grant you. But with the muu-muu, there need not be "maternity clothes" and "regular clothes." There would just be: "The Muu-muu." How easy is that?
By the way, the official spelling is mu'umu'u, according to Wikipedia.

I wish I could help you on this one, but unfortunately my closet is the sliding scale of sizes. I have been every size under the sun over the last 10 years and I actually still own an outfit or two in every size. Blech maybe I should scrap them all and join you in the muu-muu revolution!
I think you need to give yourself a break! You just had a baby!!! nine months up, nine months down, don't forget it babe!
I like the whole idea of a muu-muu. Besides, you could start a whole new fashion trend and not only would you be the coolest lady, but you could tell your kids about a fashion trend that you started. I think i'm going to bring back the leg warmer trend. Afterall, who wouldn't want to wear leg warmers in Texas, in the summer?
OK..its official I am publishing your blog and am going to make MILLIONS...you are hilarious!! I just need your permission and off to pinguin or some other publishing co I go!! By the way you have a HOT body and I think you should go with wearing your g's all day...its what I do:)
