Okay--I am not a fashion icon. I admit it. I see things in the stores on the racks and I think they look hideous. So I don't buy them. I see those same things on my friends with accessories and they look great! I don't get it. How is it that I am such a fashion moron?
The other day, I ran into Kohls to look at blouses. I "needed" a new dressy blouse to wear to church, etc. I don't understand this "baby doll" top, thing. Maybe it's because I'm not skinny enough to pull it off. Maybe it is because they look suspiciously like maternity tops, and I have spent the majority of my adult life in maternity clothes. The last thing I want to wear now is anything that even remotely resembles maternity clothing. Anyway, my step-mother and my daughter convinced me to try one of these things on and purchase it. I seriously had my misgivings.
However, on Saturday night, while playing "Apples to Apples Jr." with my children, parents, and uncle, my dad gave me a helping of ice cream that could've fed a third-world country. And, yep, I ate it. All of it.
Boy, was I glad for the "maternity blouse" on Sunday morning!! Should've picked up some pants, while I was at it!

Did you seriously just say 'not skinny enough to pull it off'? I may have to hit you with my crutch.
I'll borrow the OTHER crutch and join you in smacking her!
I now work at the mall so I see clothes every day. I was happy to see a blouse with a ribbon at the waist instead of princess level. My chances of someone asking me when I am due are much less with the ribbon at the waist thing.
