You know when you are shirt skimming?
Oh you know…doing a quick scan through of all the shirts on the rack while mumbling to yourself?
Oh you know…doing a quick scan through of all the shirts on the rack while mumbling to yourself?
Come on, you know you do it…
And you find that one shirt and think ‘This could be really cute. It’s like what I see all those cute girls wear and think it’s awesome and I could never pull it off.’
And you build up the courage to go and try it on, all while telling yourself
‘yeah, I could totally do this, step out of my little
tank top box and not care what anyone says.’
‘yeah, I could totally do this, step out of my little
tank top box and not care what anyone says.’
Oh yeah, now you know what I mean.
I snatch it up, half way digging it, half way looking like I work at Pets Mart, but I said ‘Self, you can totally do this…Pets Mart people would not wear this,
they wear red after all.’
they wear red after all.’
So let me tell you about the first time (and only time) I have worn it.
It was about two months ago, we were test driving a new car. Went out for a bite to eat and left the offspring to fend for themselves.
Going through pros and cons of the newest ride,
in mid-sentence, the hubs looks at me and says
‘Is…(long pause)…Are those bows on your shirt?’
‘uhh, umm no.’
‘Oh.’
‘(another pause)’
‘What is it?’
‘dogs’
‘Dogs?’
‘yes, dogzzz (emphasizing the zzz’s).’
‘Oh, uh, ok.’
‘(awkward pause)’
‘What kind of dogs?’
‘what?’
‘I said what kind of dogs?’
‘umm, scotties I think?’
‘Did they have the option for a mix breed? like our dog?’
Then the stare down happened, the one where you stop chewing your food and just look at each other for what seems like forever, followed by a laugh so hard we cried, literally.
The scottie/mixed breed dog mom shirt has been laying across THIS CHAIR ever since. Couldn’t even hang it up, I wanted to wear it again and finally decided to when I paired it with these pants.
(shirt:Francescas, tank&pants:American Eagle, sunnies:F21, shoes:Target, earrings:Bardot Hoops, necklace:On The Mark, necklace:Tree Of Life, bracelet:Bardot Spiral Bangle)
Even as I type this post, the 10 year old ask me what is on my shirt and the hubs told him I am supporting our mix breed dog, sigh….
So, my dear readers, what are your thoughts, can I pull it off or should I head out for a Pet Pro application?
