6.01.10This is my “i like to confuse old men into thinking that I’m pregnant so that they will hold doors open for me and let me cut in line” shirt. Works like a charm.

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.

  1. fabulous!!! the story and the outfit. loving the faux-baby shirt!! i'd wear it and my stars i don't want another baby. you look great and i love the yellow thrifted pumps with this. and the spools. those things are so cool.

  2. 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?"

  3. Kendi! I love the blouse and necklace. I also love those GIANT SPOOLS! They are my favorite out of your cool backdrops.

  4. 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!)

  5. 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 😉

  6. I love your blog! I always make sure to check because you always make me laugh and smile! Thanks for brightening my day every day!

  7. 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!

  8. 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.

  9. this is probably my favorite post of yours! i think your rather witty on an everyday basis, but you went above and beyond today.

  10. 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! 🙂

  11. 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.

  12. Haha, I think I peed my pants. You are one funny lady. You look so pretty in these photos, love the shoes! (and the story that goes with them.)

  13. 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.

  14. So adorable! I'm always playing with ways to dress up shorts for Summer and this outfit is perfect for an effortlessly-cool-and-cute-while-still-wearing-shorts look 🙂 xo
