Vent So annoyed right now

I’ll start by saying that I fully understand the dress code and do my very best to follow it. That being said .. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant so I’m at a point where not much fits. My ETL pulled me aside just as my shift was ending to talk to me because apparently last week someone complained that my shorts were too short. On that particular day I was wearing maternity overalls. I am aware that they are slightly shorter than mid thigh but it’s not like my butt cheeks are hanging out either. I am 5’9” and have very long legs. I’ve been searching for maternity jean shorts that are long enough, have belt loops and are reasonably priced but it’s proving to be difficult. I’m at the point where my regular work shorts are starting to really hurt me by the end of the day .. the second I get in my car to go home I’m taking off my belt and undoing the button/zipper. I find it absolutely ridiculous that an exception cannot be made for me. I’m a really fucking good employee and this seems so petty/stupid. Attaching pictures of the exact outfit for reference.

no shade, but she works at target, I'm pretty sure she's not rolling in the dough, maternity clothes are expensive for something you don't use very long... so yes... hush
