I am horrified at myself
Today I went shopping. I still have another few meetings to attend that I want to look snazified for and I really could use some non-internet time, so I headed out to Ross. While I love discount stores because of all the great brand names, I always have a hard time finding my size. Sometimes it feels like it all starts at size ‘4′ and that’s a few inches on the too big side for my frame.
What can I say..I lay off the cheeseburgers.
After trying on many, many things I was starting to feel defeated till I put on this adorable brown shirt with ruffles on the front and a nice mandarin collar. I had it on all of 3 seconds before I decided I loved it and it would be my lone purchase-and for $9.99 it was a deal!
So I am standing in line (waiting for the lady in front of me to stop screwing around long enough to check out) and start inspecting the shirt. Since I liked it so much, I pulled out the shirt tag to check the brand. Maybe I could buy more!
SweetLilly….maternity.
Maternity.
so that’s what those back ties were for.
The sad part was I stood there and considered still buying it for a brief moment before walking it back to a rack.

Hmm…could you have cut the ties off? It did look cute…
Now where were those fashions when I WAS pregnant?!
With the styles the way they are today I would have definitely bought it!

I do this too. LOL
I probably would have bought it…who knows you might need it later
I would have bought it. I have a maternity shirt I love and still wear right now, I don’t think it
Ok I wouldn’t have bought it, either, BUT I would’ve felt that shirt burning a hole in my pocket and had to find something else.
Are you going to kill me if I say maybe that was a sign? lol TOTALLY kidding! We all know you’re not pg! lol I would have bought it anyway! Hey a girls gotta be comfortable right? I would have just removed the tag and if someone asked me if it was maternity said, ‘Umm…no! Rude much?’ lol
I would have bought it LOL if I like it and for that much I wouldn’t tell anyone it was maternity though
I wore an old maternity shirt to my MIL’s viewing. I had to come up with something that was NOT lavender or purple (my favorite color), as it was commanded by my less than nice SIL & BIL.
No one knew the difference.
LOL, I would have bought it too! Some of my favorite shirts are maternity ones- (10 months later) LOL
Ohhhh, I wish I could get away with wearing maternity jeans now! Soooo comfy!
I would have bought it too! Size, labels..if I like it and it looks good, none of that matters!
I still would have bought it. It would be nice to have something cute to wear if I get pregnant again.
I totally would have bought it!
Trisha that is a SIGN!!!!
Wheres Chris?? Please go make a momdot baby, stat!!
Happens ALL the time – what’s that about anyway?? If we needed maternity, there would be nothing but fugly stuff!
Don’t you hate that? That’s right up there with finding the perfect pair of shoes, but just needing the next size and they don’t have it! I swear people who manufacture women’s clothing and shoes love to torture us all.

LMAO!! In your defense, sometimes I have a hard time figuring out whether some of the new shirts are actual shirts or dresses. Is that bad? And yes, i shop in the juniors.
I frequently mistake maternity clothes for all the cute trendy stuff out there.
also, I love Ross Dress for Less.
So does that mean I should stop wearing a pair of maternity shorts I haven’t put away yet? *cough* two years later? But they are SO comfortable….hahahaha
OMG! That is so a sign. Someone is trying to tell you something, lol.
Oh my yes…those maternity clothes sneak up on ya when you least expect it.
Oh come on Trisha!!!
Maybe its a sign!? I kid, I Kid…I saw your other post. I admit I have 1 maternity shirt I still *occasionally* wear and there is no way to tell it is maternity, it is even super low cut. But, I would not of bought it either.
