Y’all! Have you forgotten that tomorrow I am heading out to have a weekend get away with Husband? And that I am attending only the coolest concert ever? And I’m hanging with Emily? And getting a massage? Because I have not.
This is what I have chosen to wear. That is until I saw the picture. What is it with my mental image of myself and the "real" pictorial image that don’t match? I’m much, MUCH more gorgeous in my own head. And I don’t have those flabby arms, either. Or that annoying hair on my upper lip.
For those begging for a picture of the size 8 jeans, that was it. That’s me in my 8s. Funny how I can wear an 8 and still look pregnant with that shirt on, isn’t it? Like I said, my mental version of myself is much better.
I also picked up this necklace to go with it. Very funky. I have no idea if you can even actually see it since the medallion is the same color as the carpet. Pay no attention to the specks of dirt I put there to give it dimension and a sense of size.
Update: Husband just looked at my necklace and asked, "Is that one of those mosquito coils we burn in the back yard?" I think the only reason I may keep him is because he knows where the HCJ tickets are in his closet.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again. If the empire waist can even make all three Dixie Chicks look pregnant, there is no hope for the rest of us.
Having said that, I’ll now say that you look less pregnant than others I’ve seen in the empire waist. (You’re welcome.)
Love the jeans, and the necklace! Harry will be very impressed. And I’m only a little bitter that there is no stop scheduled for the Days house.
I’m proud that you haven’t given up on fashion all together now that the empire waist is back in. Have an awesome time on your adventure. Take comfort in the fact that in a few years we’ll all be too old for people to wonder if we are or we aren’t any more.
Have a GREAT time. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Hey hottttt stuff!!!! You look spectacular!!!!
Of course you don’t feel satisfied w/ the way it looks on… that’s the drama of being a woman! A ridiculously ridiculous inner-eyeball.
I think you look great! And I would NOT look at you and think to myself, “hmmm, do you think she’s pregnant? better not ask.”
You look awesome! I think the shirt looks great. I love them. I’d much rather have loose flowing clothing hiding my middle flab than something tight that leaves no room for imagination.
How about a cute fitted top of some sort with some COLOR!? You need some color on you somewhere.
I agree, I don’t like the style of the shirt
but the jeans are adorable!
Have more fun that you should!
You look great! I love the entire ensemble!
It’s funny you should mention looking better in your own mind. Anytime I see a picture of myself…ugh! I know I was prettier than that when I left the house! Then the hubby will say “that’s a good picture of you.” That’s when I realize that’s really what I look like… then I cry a little.
But, back to you… if you look that fabulous in the pic, I really don’t want to know how awesome you look in your head!!
Mosquito coil. Hehe!
He’s got class.
You KNOW what that outfit needs:
SHOOTIES!!
I hope you have a fabulous time!! I had the opportunity to go to an outdoor concert of Harry’s in college. It was wonderful!!
And as for what you’re wearing… very stylish! You should go head held high… looks GREAT! (Although you may want to “trim” the hair on the eyebrows and upper lip.) Just a friendly suggestion.
Girl you make me wanna switch teams!
I think you adorable. Just so you know, I weigh 118, and if I pose like that, my arms flab, too. seriously. I am so not joking. I can’t wait to hear all about your experience with Harry!!!! he is so charming.
Gorgeous, Chili… That’s what you are.
And see if you can steal the tickets and go with some man who get’s the accessories. Have fun and then come and dish!
I’m so with you on the “different” mental picture. If I see something on the rack that I like, it obviously will look fabulous on me? Uh-uh. You look great and everyone needs a funky necklace to go to a CONCERT!
SHADDUP! You look GREAT. (I missed this post, somehow.)
