Oh Violet, Maternity- Really? Really??
April 15, 2009
I do love the color violet, and with my nails still in that gorgeous shade- maybe this dress and I were meant to be. I certainly was not expecting to discover it in this section! Maternity? Really? Yes, srlsy!
I’ll admit to occasionally finding a fun accessory or garment within the children’s section- they have some fashionable items these days; but when I was in Target and this dress caught my eye, I was all turned around. It was in the maternity section, and was intended for that in the design.
But it’s so cute! and has pockets and a bow, I had to try it on. And it is so adorable- soft as can be and comfortable (as would hopefully be expected), that it was a quick decision to buy it.
Also, it made me think of the times my old roommate, Savina, and I would shock the world with our eating abilities… and wear a comfortable empire waist dress for ease. As she would say, “you can eat whatever you want in this dress.” lol.
In all honesty I think this is an adorable dress and I am enjoying it now, just the way it is. No, I’m not pregnant- but it’s nice to know the style is out there. I’ll still enjoy it now regardless.
The stockings were a fun purchase and something I haven’t worn in a while- so I thought since I was already going out wearing maternity clothes, why not play for a day with the socks?
Someone I once worked with years ago had requested I bring these socks into style.. I don’t know that I would, or that I am going to continue to wear them by any means- but once in a while it certainly is fun! I am enjoying myself today- that’s for sure.
PS As I was walking out the door I grabbed some accessories to wear, don’t you just love it when things match? My favorite LOVEMADDS braclet was the perfect item to complete the look!
I totally have a Target maternity item too! Loose styles are great preggers or not
. But honestly, this looks almost exact to a top from last season at the Armani exchange!
Looks great on you too!
That’s awesome! I love it!
and you know, it really feels silky comfortable- the feeling reminds me of Armani, and now that you say that I am in love with it even more!
Go Target Maternity, how hilarious and wonderful ;D
Thank you, Jen!
This outfit looks cute on you! Really pretty color too.
Thank you
Here is something you may not have known (a little reward for those who read the comments!)
.. back in early high school, my hair was a deep violet color
I was still in a dress in heels even back then, but my hair was a variety of shades from the darkest eggplant to even a light lilac. lol.
