babies!

Well…what a day! I went shopping this evening because I needed some new clothes…duh.

So, I was wearing one of my favorite outfits, a little dress over a pair of jeans and some cowboy boots and this man at a kiosk says “congratulations!” and I said, “uh….on what?” and he said “on your new baby!” and I said…”well…I am not pregnant.” So I move on feeling a bit…um…pregnant. So then I move on to Macys and laugh about it with the lady feeling better and came to the conclusion he had no common sense.

Move ahead 30 minutes. Ann Taylor LOFT (Quiet a nice womens store) I was looking at a little sweater set and the lady says “hello. how are you tonight? OR RATHER, how are you TWO tonight?” (whilst PATTING MY STOMACH!) and I said “well, I am not pregnant, but I am fine, thank you.” And she said “YES YOU ARE!!!” and I said “no, no I am not.” And she said “well, let me look again….oh! No, you definitely don’t look pregnant! I just saw the elastic on your shirt and assumed! You have a tiny little waist!!” Then I proceeded to MELT AWAY IN EMBARASSMENT.

So…moral of the store…NO MORE DRESSES!

    I can’t believe they said that to you! I mean I rarely say anything to a pregnant woman (just in case she isn’t) unless the belly is just so big and the girl is small. But like Rachel said the dress and jean combo is a winner…don’t let go of it.

    i love dresses over jeans. so dont stop…and hey, youre just introducing a new look so pregnant people can be stylish. since apparently that is what they would wear.
