Maternity Shopping

Chris and I went shopping today for a nice dress for me to wear this weekend to Christopher's Newspaper Awards in Spartanburg, SC. I thought this would be an easy task I mean it is just a dress right? Well it wasn't as easy as one might think. First of all we went to J.C. Penny that just opened up at the Coastal Grand Mall because we had a $10 coupon. The store was really nice and had some really cute little baby clothes and accessory, but there was no maternity section which was not cool. I looked at some of the regular size dresses and there was some pretty ones but I was not sure if they would fit and I did not really want to try any of them on and have them not fit so we decided to move on and see what Motherhood Maternity had to offer. Motherhood is slowly becoming my favorite store for the time being some of their clothes are just to cute and pretty much affordable. Most of my maternity clothes are from Motherhood so I thought finding a cute dress in there should not be a problem.

Well there was a lot of pretty dresses to choose from so I picked out a couple nice pant suits to try on instead of a dress. Well the pants suit was nice but it looked to much like a work outfit and not a dressy outfit so I sent Chris on a mission to pick out a few dresses that he liked for me to try on. He brought back 2 dresses one size large and one size XL. The large dress was black, white, and yellow pattern and the XL was a pretty pastel dress. Well the Large dress was just a little to tight on my boobs so that one was out. The pastel one was just a bit too big and it made me look like an Easter egg which was not the look I was aiming for.

So off I sent Chris and the saleslady on a mission to find more dresses for me to try. This time they came back with 3 different ones for me to try on. They ranged from size Large to XL once again. The first one I tried on was just a plain little black dress which was a large and it was super cute on and it helped hide my big ol' belly so I was pretty much sold on this dress but I thought I should try on the other one just to see how it fit. It was a really cute black and off white polka dot dress that tied in the front under the chest area. It was a size XL so it should fit right no such luck my chest once again was causing a problem the dress just would not fit right around my big old chest so that dress was also out.

By this time I was tired of trying on clothes and I really had to use the bathroom because that is where I spend most of my time these days. So I said heck with it and decided on the little black number and a pair of black tights to cover up these good old white legs of mine. To dress up the dress I decided to get some pretty turquoise jewelry to match with Chris' shirt and tie that he is wearing. We will look really hot so there will definitely be some pictures to come so that everyone can check us out.
