That doesn't look maternity at all.

I think I have a tie problem. Because now I have three more. I see a tie sale, and somehow I should get more than one, oh! Purple paisley, that's just like Prince...

However, I seem to be a fashion fail, because my idea of a new skirt does not seem to be Ann Taylor's or Banana Republic's. So much of Macy's clothing was hideous I can't feel bad about that.

that one wasn't maternity. the thing about maternity is my ass will take up all the extra fabric, just whether the extra fabric falls at the right level or not. I guess I am gonna find out how good returns at target online are.

Isn't the extra fabric in the front?

I would think most styles would be like empire waists -- even some of the non-maternity ones look like maternity on me. Others NSM. Total crapshoot.

msbelle, I seem to remember Liz Lange maternity stuff came in different levels, for early pregnancy up to late/post. So maybe some of the early stuff? I always loved her stuff -- I miss some of the maternity clothes I had for Sara because they were awesome.

ita sometimes it is just the whole skirt being more full.

Doesn't that make the hem in front ride higher?

Banana Republic was having a sale on button down shirts but not in "women's". All their other sales were the same between petite and women's, but the one thing I want? No sale.

But, apparently, if I go up a size, since I am gonna wear my high waisted shit anyway, I can wear petite. So, fuck you, oppressive Republic. I am getting your short people privilege anyway.

They had a really stunning colour, and I'm leaning towards the literal meaning of stunning, and I was tempted to buy it, but I went with my boring colours (purple, black) instead. This: [link] almost painful in person. But compelling...

I have a couple of maternity dresses from target and I love them, but I am bigger than msbelle. I can wear a Medium maternity, but I am normally a 1X.

I love this, but not good colors for me: [link]

I need a sugar daddy. I want this. Nay, need!

It's perfect.

Okay, I am coming to realise I am not excited about a December wedding in Baltimore. I guess f you live somewhere with winter, your life doesn't shut down in those months, but some of us who purposely don't live in winter don't want to travel into it. This is two consecutive winter weddings. If I have to travel, I might as well go somewhere warm. I don't have warm boots. I have one warm coat, and it weight fifty pounds. I hate the principle of formal dressing during winter. I don't think I have another outfit that qualifies.

I am preemptively grumpy.
