Nuts and Bows: Boys Will Be Boys

September 13, 2011

Top: Target, Cardi: Target, Pants: f21, Sandals: Target, Necklace: Kohls, Earrings: Vintage/Consignment, Bag: Thrifted

First of all NO I am not pregnant, even though I look about six months along in these pics, which is sad. I learned a valuable lesson yesterday while shooting these pictures, I asked h-band/my live in photog whether I should put my glasses on for pics (I had been wearing them all day until I came home), and if I should do a half tuck with my shirt. He of course said no to both as seen in the pics and I trusted that he knew what he was saying. As I was editing these pictures last night the thought came to me that he totally did me dirty! Boys will be boys right? My non-pregnant belly could have benefited greatly from a tuck, and the sames goes with the glasses. The lesson is this friends go with your gut, or you will end up looking like a six month non-pregnant girl with a much needed facial accessory. He is still a very much a keeper and I love him dearly, that's right Boo I love ya LOTS (he really is the sweetest thing, this was just a unfortunate event...that I will blame him for....because blaming myself is a lot less comical).

ps: Linked up to Thriftaholics Weekly yet?

Great pants, I love them with the animal print top. But don't blame the boy (he just doesn't know any better ;)

Hey, at least your boy helps you out--my husband admits quite freely that he doesn't even read my blog!

Love the golden cardi with the dark red, especially with the leopard shirt. Gorgeous!

Ha! You don't look preggers, but that is a cute story! Love your pants and the yellow sweater. Adding the animal print was perfect!

Hey sweetie, this is your husband, and although I know you will always believe in the unfair accusation you made that I was just blowing you off, I honestly thought you looked better without the tuck, and without the glasses.

I guess girls will always be girls, haha

Now, I don't know what it would have looked like otherwise, but I think I'm going to say I agree with your husband. I hate the half tuck look (gasp- I know) and I think adding the glasses would have been too much.

You look great, stop worrying! Loving the leopard and mustard combo!

I love this whole outfit. I have a similar top and never thought to wear a yellow cardi over, I'm DEF gonna do that!!! Found you on EBEW... great site and I am such a Thriftaholic. Took the badge and loaded my link... :)

Great print. And great combo of yellow and maroon.

Thanks for joining us at EBEW!

Dang, I know exactly what you mean as I've had the same experience with my "photographer." i will say though that he can always coax a better smile out of me than my tripod does. You have an excellent sense of color in this look.

I know just what you mean! I always got the "they're just clothes, no one minds what you're wearing" line, so I learned quickly to ask those in the know, like my girlfriends. I'm loving the outfit here, especially the way the yellow works with your pants (I'd love to have a F21 nearby so I could grab them!)

Hahaha I have often wanted a photographer for that exact reason, so they can tell me when I look ridiculous, glad to hear I'm not missing anything ;) You really look adorable, though! We are not seeing the craziness you're seeing in your head :)

First I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy of a comment from the monk! You are too cute, and pah-lease you are so not missing anything your pics are too die! Teach me the ways of the remote girl ;)! Loves!

I actually had to get them a couple sizes too big because that was all that they had! I have seen some really cute ones at UO too!
Morgan V. B.September 14, 2011 at 5:23 PM

You so do not look pregnant. I actually think you look SUPER cute!!!!
TaimiSeptember 15, 2011 at 8:39 AM
Haha! I laughed so hard at this. I always ask my boyfriend if I look pregnant (I have a penchant for boxy, big shirts) and he always says no. And he's nearly always wrong.

You look adorable!
