Buying clothes...

So I found out that I was pregnant on November 9th. That means I was about 4 weeks pregnant and I actually got pregnant in October. October/November is my favorite time for buying clothes. I love all of the fall clothes that come out. What a dork, I know!
Late last summer, Shane and I spent a butt-load of money at Brooks Brothers. Because of that, we received a bunch of coupons that we could use on a certain date. I was saving up my coupons so that I could buy a few pairs of dress pants that fit me beautifully. I mean, they were the nicest pants I have ever put on! Well, when I got got pregnant I could not justify the purchase of my beloved pants so I didn't end up buying them. :-( But that's okay, because the dude that works there said they have them every year and Shane said that we could get them this year (Yes, you did. When we were in the store buying your shorts over the summer and I asked the dude about the pants you said that we would get them this fall. Remember? Well, you did.)
So, back to my point...when you get pregnant you can't shop at normal stores because of your expanding belly. You have to find stores that sell maternity clothes and let me be the first to tell you that those stores are hard to find. You have to settle for stores like Old Navy, Motherhood MAaternity, and Target. My favorite store is Ann Taylor Loft. Really.
I. Love. It.
I had to give up shopping at The Loft. It was sad. I felt dumpy in most of my maternity clothes. When I went to the mall I tried to convince myself that I could shop there if I bought things 3 or 4 sizes up. Finally, I came to my senses and carried my big butt to the pregnant lady store.
So now, I am not pregnant and I am fairly back to my regular size. So I went perusing The Loft website and GUESS. WHAT. I. SAW?

All I can do is post the link because I was so pissed!
