fashion friday

I was really excited to wear this dress tonight. I bought it right after I had Chloe, but haven’t actually worn it yet.
So, I strutted my stuff into HurryDate and not two minutes before the event was about to begin, one of the guys casually asked me when I was due. WHEN I WAS DUE!!!!!! 
My eyes filled with tears before I even had a second to think about it. Seriously, what the heck? After I said excuse me, and only after he again repeated the question, did I decide to make this a teaching moment. I raised my voice so that the surrounding men could hear and informed them that even if the girl looks like she is about to give birth tomorrow, you NEVER ask when she is due.
What’s even more awful about that guy, is that he ended my night by asking me out. To lunch. Even though I told him I was HAPPILY married. His take on things was that there must be days in my marriage I’m not happy, so those would be the days I could call him. I reminded him he previously thought I was pregnant, and he told me he hadn’t really cared. He was okay with stepchildren.
And with that story, I present to you my maternity pick-up dress.  (Click pictures for a larger image)

{The grassy area outside my apartment.}
Dress is Pettycoat Alley from TJ Maxx and the knee high socks are from TJ Maxx as well.  Button up sweater is Guess…and I have to thank Marisa for letting me borrow it.  She may never see it again.

{I do attitude so well, I thought, why not?}
Tank top is an old Hanes one I’ve had forever.  I can find a way to fit a white tank into any outfit.  Fashionable or not.  Tiffany ring is a christmas gift from my man.  The necklace is so old I don’t even remember where it’s from.  Does that mean it’s vintage?

{The view from our apartment.}

My most favorite motorcycle boots ever.  (Forever 21)

{My sweet girl.  I think it’s time she gets in on the fashion posts.  There will be a day I have to pass the torch, so I need to get used to sharing the spotlight now.}  
 The leg warmers and headband are both from etsy.  The ‘I make boys cry’ onesie is a hand me down from two of her cousins.

The pink silk dress is another hand me down from her cousins, and the headband is from Kensie Poo on etsy.
Have a great holiday weekend!

  5. Ok, ok, ok. First off? Honestly? The dress does NOT make you look pregnant We know the guy who told you that is obviously a d-bag. I am just in AWE that he would have the nerve to say what he did to you, not only about the dress, but about everything else. Wow…And, I love that you’re including Chloe in Fashion Fridays. She’s so adorable!

  6. That guy was obviously a moron. I LOVE THAT DRESS! And it doesn’t make you look pregnant AT ALL. Like, not even a little.

    Also, the view from your apartment is amazing! And your baby girl can rock a headband like nobody’s business. 🙂

    Hate it when anybody asks a woman when she’s due! I mean come on people, really! Love the outfit..The dress does not make you look pregnant.

  12. Your fashion is so great. I look forward to these posts each week. And your daughter, adorable.

  13. How terrible! Can’t believe he had the balls to ask you out after that!
    You look fabulous as always and Chloe is following right in your footsteps!

  14. Oh my God cleary this guy needs help if he thought YOU were pregnant! Whatever! Your baby girl is precious, so beautiful! Awww!

  15. Oh me, oh my! You make me laugh. I can’t believe he said that.

    Hope to talk soon! I miss you!!!

  18. Im thinking even when you WERE pregnant…you didn’t look pregnant! LOL What a tard!!! Adorable dress, I love it! I want to squeeze those baby cheeks!!!

  19. Well, you look cute to me! Thanks for stopping by and leaving that sweet comment. It’s SITS Girls like you who keep me posting my marital secrets. Have a great Holiday weekend!

  20. a) that guys sounds like a catch. give him my number.

    b) you look hot in that dress. he’s stupid. i take back the give him my number comment.

    c) i need to snuggle chloe. i need to kiss those cheeks and talk in a stupid high pitch voice and giggle with her. STAT!

  21. I’m very glad you taught that lesson. That is so rude (especially when you have a cute dres on!) Men just do not appreciate the style that is NOW. Um, what is Hurry Date?

  22. You so do not look pregnant. It sounds like if that guy had his IQ tatooed onto his forehead it would explain a lot. You look really great, as always.

    And your little daughter! She’s adorable. I love her flower headband.

    It’s easier to pass the torch than you might think. I love posting pictures of my kids, not so much of myself!

  23. If you look like you are pregnant in that dress, then I’m an 86-year-old man who was president in the 1940s … and I assure I was not!

  24. Ooh, sassy! I like it. Dude sounded like a real “winner” surprised he didnt find his next wife at that event. Not. I likes the outfit. And I have not forgotten about your little prize from a couple months back. It has taken me some time to create. I will be all about it this weekend should my horrid sinus pain leave…

  25. That does not make you look pregnant at all!! Was that guy trying a weird pick up line? Seriously!!

    And your daughter is adorable!!

  26. Beautiful girl…bad, bad man. And you don’t look pregnant, he probably thought it was some kind of a great pick up line or something. Blech!

  27. The guy who asked you when you were due? What an idiot. Not only because you don’t ASK that, but because YOU DON’T LOOK PREGNANT.

    Wow, he’ll make some woman veeerrrrrry happy someday…!

    And Chloe is a doll!
