i've talked about my frustration with maternity clothes (or lack thereof) before. it's so silly to even complain about it, i mean, womp womp, so i have to wear the same clothes over and over. like that's the worst thing that can happen to an expectant mom. i made the mistake of complaining about this to a friend of ours who is a priest, and he looked at me and deadpanned, "yea, i have no idea what that's like". oops.the major item that i was sick of in my maternity clothing repertoire was my one pair of jeans. because i work an office job, i decided that one pair was enough, since i never really wore them during the week. but oh boy, did i fail to take into account how many weekends there are in a pregnancy. so when i found out about the citizens of humanity x every mother counts maternity collaboration for a pea in the pod, i jumped at the chance to try out a pair of the jeans, especially because of the great cause they stand for.for those of you who don't know, every mother counts is a non-profit started by christy turlington burns. the goal of the organization is to improve global maternity and reduce maternal mortality rates. this year, citizens of humanity partnered with every mother counts to create an exclusive line of maternity denim for a pea in the pod. for each jean sold, a pea in the pod will donate $15.00 and citizens of humanity will donate $25.00 to every mother counts to support its efforts.like i said above, i was so happy to have the opportunity to support this collaboration. these jeans are so comfortable, one of the best additions to my maternity wardrobe yet. thanks to every mother counts, they remind me to not take my situation for granted. i'm thinking that it may be hard to get me out of them even when i'm back in my pre-maternity clothes...they're that good.
