WIW--red checks!

Scarlet

Veteran

I bought this top a size up because I liked the idea and I figured I could also wear it later on (and it was cheap in case I don't want to). When I checked the photo tonight I wondered if the shirt looked too short, so I yanked my underlayer down to see if that worked better. Then I threw on my jacket because it was cool enough to wear it this morning. If I look like I have attitude, really I am just bone tired I see the bottom of the shirt was ruffled out of place in photos 2/3, but I didn't want to re-shoot. As of now I am 6 months pregnant and counting, so if I look a little thick around the middle, well, I am. I still haven't embraced maternity clothes.

I like it better in #1 and it looks great with the jeans and Converse you don't look 'thick in the midsection' at all!

You are carrying your pregnancy very well Scarlet and yes I remember the dog tired attitude all too well.

I think pulling down the tank has balanced the proportions perfectly.

Love your "attitude". I just look cranky when tired. Shirt is great, now I want a red plaid shirt.

I would call this a very successful maternity outfit, and one that you will probably be able to wear afterwards too. *high five*

You look tiny for someone who is at 6 months.

Love this outfit formula! I am going to try it, but maybe with heels. I like the look better with your under layer shorter (pic 1) as it is leg-lengthening.

You are carrying beautifully and look cool in this outfit - all incarnations.

Oh, I am so excited that you k-like it too, Angie. I know it is very, very casual, even though I know you are flexible and big-hearted when it comes to different styles.

Coco, I would love to wear this with heels too, later on.
ETA: I know I can call you Denise, but I like your handle

Incidentally this shirt is currently available from Mango, although interestingly it costs nearly twice the price in the U.S. I wonder why that is.

What a fun shirt, Scarlet! I love the white and red checks on you, and agree that this is a terrific outfit. You look amazing, and I like the Converse and earrings with this a lot too.

Holy smokes, I wish I looked like you when I was pregnant. I looked like a train wreck!
YLF, what can I say?

Rats not in my size in the red

I did find this. The name and especially the name of the color cracked me up.

Maybe when I go home again I can wear it and blend in.

You look terrific in this, Scarlet! So much fun, and a perfectly wearable outfit later on, too.

Anna, I wonder if it says Lumberjack or Redneck on the pocket? Then you would be carrying your own explanation for your outfit and your dad wouldn't have to explain for you

Love #1 especially and you look adorable. Cool attitude shot!

K. Period.

Holy moley! How is it that you can make me want a red checked shirt mere hours after I passed one by as too tableclothy? And all that while pregnant. You make it look like Ramones style punk rock gear. So fabulous!

Scarlet, you are too, too cute and cool in this outfit! You are still rocking your style, but now you have a little one on board :). Love the checked shirt (you know how I feel about checks and plaids!) and those jeans look so great--I am dumbfounded that you are still in regular jeans!

Thanks for taking the time to post these, even though I know you are so tired!

Thanks to all so much for the kind words. I had wanted to check in and see if I am still on track, or whether I need to rethink my approach. You make me feel like I am doing just fine.

K can shop--you are too nice. I have to admit that I love checked tablecloths too

Jonesy, my "underlayer" is a maternity belt and the jeans are held together with a stretched out hair elastic. So far I have only one pair of maternity jeans, but as they tend to slide down, I don't find jerry-rigged low-rise jeans any less convenient. I am planning to go to H&M though to pick up a pair of skinny mama jeans sized down to see if those stay up better. By the way, I still have a vision of you wearing a checked shirt with a marled sweater that I still want to copy when I find the right pieces Also, thanks for your encouragement. I still have a couple of other outfits I want to share before I outgrow them.
