Wishful thinking...

I'm lucky. I happen to love being pregnant. Sure, I have symptoms, am swollen, don't fit into anything, and can be incredibly cranky (just ask H...not sure he's speaking to me this morning). All in all, though, I'm a happy pregnant girl. (Full permission to hate me at this point.)

AND I'm really really really looking forward to spring collections. I know they're out there already. I know I'm behind the 8-ball. Who knows how long it'll take me before I'm back in "regular" clothes.

BUT I still can't help but be happy at the prospect of heading out to shop (as if I'll have the time) for a new blouse or skirt...and can take advantage of everything from Target to Cusp. I saw a picture of me the other day in a silver and charcoal silk halter gown...and just sighed. It's hanging on the back of my closet door - right in front of my wedding dress, which no, I still haven't had cleaned.

Do you think I can shop in Target with a vivacious 2.5 year old and an infant? I was trying to figure out just how to manage Bean #2 in the dressing room this morning...

In my dreams: colors, flounces, silks, and breeziness...I'll see if I can find a few minutes today and search for a few pics.

Betsey Johnson Takes Over the BW Region

From the Friday night showing of her spring collection to C Mart starting tomorrow, Betsey's taking over the Baltimore-Washington corridor.

If you missed the announcement in yesterday's C Mart e-newsletter, a "HUGE" (their emphasis) shipment of Betsey Johnson's spring collection is going on sale at the Baltimore store tomorrow. If you can fake an illness (the sudden cold snap brought it on!) and ensure that your boss doesn't scope out the net for C Mart sales, then claim a "family emergency" and go stock up.

I, unfortunately, will be at a meeting with many retired military men in Atlanta. I just have to decide which piece of clothing to wear to startle them. Already done the Daslu boots and the red patent leather pumps. So what's next?

If you do manage to hit the store this week and snag any good bargains, share with us - we want to bask in your glory! Especially if someone manages to snag a suit like the one at left. I'd love to see it on the streets of D.C.!
