And it's only one day late! Presenting last weeks Outfit of the Week!I couldn't help myself when I saw this dress! It isn't quite my mother's family's tartan (Robertson) but it was close enough that it reminded me of the beautiful, if very itchy, wool dress that I wore when I was little. I couldn't find my black sweater before I left the house (I was running late!) and the sleeves are a little too slender for my taste (and the skirt is quite literally floor length, which made me trip several times going up stairs!) but I love the dress enough that I overlooked these little flaws and got it a few weeks ago. It is my Christmas splurge (which I guess isn't bad considering that it was something like $24 at Target). It could have been much, much worse! And it's loose enough that it ought to work for a good portion of my pregnancy! I can't ask for more than that!
Sadie's dress, on the other hand, was a bit longer when we started out our day, but she managed to completely destroy the lace, built in slip and so I finally tore it out of the dress (at least it tore straight across, perfectly) so that she wouldn't trip on it a twentieth time. In this picture she is exhausted from watching dancing penguins, a belly dancing hippo and a ballerina elephant (and an actual real horse). With five minutes left in the two hour Christmas show she passed out on my lap and had a ten minute nap before we had to clear out of the theater! What a day!
That is a very beautiful dress! It must be so much fun to buy pregnancy clothes! It would not be too hard to hem the dress to make it a little easier to wear and not trip over. Being very short (5 feet), I have to deal with that problem a lot!
ReplyDeleteI love this dress!! I saw it in Target and didn't know if I wanted to buy it or not...but that was mostly because of the price. I'm cheap and I talk myself out of alot haha but you look lovely in it!
