An Open Letter to Ann Taylor Loft

Dear Ann Taylor Loft,

You know and I know that I love your clothes.  I especially love when you have a huge sale and I save hundreds of dollars all at once and come out with all of these fabulous new goodies.  Some of my favorite clothes (and jewelry . . . and shoes . . .) have been purchased at your stores.

Now that I'm almost 4 months pregnant, I have to openly complain about your maternity section.  BORING!  I'm pregnant, not style-handicapped!  It's so bland compared to your regular line.  If I wanted vanilla, I'd just shop at Gap maternity.

I'm pretty sure a lot of your styles could be modified for us mommas-to-be!  I had to just stop looking at your website because I was getting depressed - here are just a few examples of items I wished were maternity styles too:

Elastic waistband, please!

You know I love me some stripes.  Perfectly acceptable to wear while pregnant!

Please just make something in this adorable print.

Just because I have a tiny new life growing in me, doesn't mean that I don't like to wear fun prints and colors.  Seriously, step it up, Loft.  I'll start spending again when I start shrinking again.  Think of the loss of revenue.
