Except for when I wore it to Starbucks and instead of just tugging on old men's heart strings, I attracted them with my laptop. I had a man ask me if I could help him out with his home computer. "If you're good with computers, I could get you a lot of work around here. Everyone's computer is broken!" he exclaimed. And by everyone he meant his nursing home neighbors and by computers he meant 10-year old Dells. I sweetly declined and pushed my sympathy baby out a little further until he opened the door for me. Some days you win, some days you lose and some days you end up at a Starbucks just whoring out your computer skills and non-existent child.
I got my shirt for $9 everyone. Applause accepted. Golf claps though, I don't want to wake up the baby.

I really love this shirt, and you soooo do not look pregnant - funny post tho :o)
adorable!
even when you have a baby, the "so when are you going to have a baby?" questions just keep coming, but instead they say "so when are you going to have another baby?"
Gorgeous! I particularly like the yellow heels, it's a great pop of color.
Kendi! I love the blouse and necklace. I also love those GIANT SPOOLS! They are my favorite out of your cool backdrops.
Wow, adorable yellow peek toe shoes, and bravo on the $9 top! I love smart shoppers with style.

You're adorable - I love your sense of humor. That blouse is so cute, even if it does get the belly bump stare! And for 9 bucks, even better.

Golf claps!! Love it!
Love the swingy blouse! So great!
Love it! Especially now that I know it cost $9!
Hahaha, you are seriously the funniest person ever. I loved reading this post. you look beautiful, though! I can see why that man would want you to help him with his 1000 year old computers. Hope you have an amazing week! (thats for you too, baby!)
hahaha you crack me up. so sassy! i like it!
You do have skillz! I love that outfit. I'm going to have to be a huge copycat and recreate it. That's how attracted I am to it. Plus I want old men to ask me to fix their computers ;)
Wow, that outfit makes your legs look wikkid long!
Love the top! I have a few tops that could make passersby wonder if I am in fact pregnant. It's not as funny after you've had a baby and have a bit of the weight hanging on. Sigh! ;-)
You look great as always!

Omg that second to last picture is amazing!! Looking good lady!
You crack me up. Every time. I love the voice and the tone that comes through with your writing. And I love your necklace. You always look so beautiful - it's inspiring!
great blouse and necklace!!!
yes, yes...i'm applauding the $9 shirt, but where...where!...did it come from?? was it thrifted via goodwill or salvation army or thrifted from the clearance rack at target or jcrew?? you can't leave this girl hanging, kendi!
either way, love the look and i'd totally rock that blouse. preggers or not.
ps..the hat you wore in "cut and sew"...almost bought it a few weeks back. in fact, i wore it around target for 20 mins before deciding that i didn't NEED it. now that i think about it...that's kinda gross. sssshhhh...don't tell anyone.

HaHa, you are hilarious. I love your blog so much that before I go to work everyday at 6a I read it. It always puts me in a good mood and gives me a little fashion inspiration. I love that shirt as well and those shorts. I just bought a pair identical to them so I'm excited to wear them. Have a great day darling! :)
Hehe, your funny, I don't know how you think up this stuff but I assume your a very interesting person in real life.
I love those yellow shoes!
LOL - fabulous shirt that does NOT make you look preggo :)

I love that shirt! Also, totally jealous of the long legs! I just realized I got gypped in the leg department!
I read your blog almost everyday.
I love the necklace. I wish I had H&M close by. And from someone who has been pregnant twice, you so do not look preggers.

Adorable top! I love your shorts as well :)

I really love this outfit! That top is perfect, looks so comfy & cute! Love the necklace, too!
Haha you clearly get some good use out of that shirt! I love those yellow shoes. Very cool necklace as well! Those gigantic spools are just too cool.

You just got 1,000 cool points in my book because I pull the same shit!!
When my stomach is really bloated I just push it out a little more and hold it with my hand so people will at least think I'm prego and not just really freaking fat. Bwahahahahahahha. Skillz that kill, not babies of course.
before i read you entry i was going to exclaim how you do NOT look pregnant in that shirt .. i would though!
ajajajjaja as always what you write seems to brighten my day!! Very cute look,I love the mix of navy and yellow!
