More photos, just new shirts this time.

Three shirts - Scott did a couple photos tonight where I just got into them long enough to show them.

Today's shirt for work. Less inspired cut (though I love the color), but at $1.50 it's not a bad deal. A woman in our sister company, who has seen me the past several weeks several times, commented that "hey, you're finally in maternity wear" when she saw it. I actually thought the earlier shirts looked more like maternity wear and less like oversized normal shirts (and I know I ran into her while wearing at least yesterday's, maybe Monday's also). Oh well!

A black shirt that I got for $5 because I liked it too much to leave it. That's always the risk.

And the third shirt, the only one I bought that needed some alteration to make me happy with it (not a repair of damage, just a reworking of the neckline, and within what I could hand-sew). I'm not sure which of two shirts on the receipt this was, it was either $2.13 or $2.50.

I love the work shirt! You got some excellent bargains! Very impressive. I have looked back through your journals and am just missing it somewhere. When is your baby due?

January. :)

I really like the black one and the third shirt. Both very flattering!

Thank you! The third one wasn't very flattering, but I win. (It tied at the top of the lace section, and the lace section was split. Which would be a lovely style, except that the fabric is light so it sagged, I can't tie a bow to save my posterior, and most importantly the neckline is so scooped that it displayed my bra in the awkward gap it created. Hence, the surgery on that area. Fortunately the lacy look made it easy to hide extra thread. *grins*)

I had not intended to buy anything as fancy/formal-evening feeling as the black shirt, but I tried it on and it looked so good on me that I just had to have it. (If it had been at retail store prices, there is no way I'd've bought it, but as it is....)

Edited to note: What amuses me most about the third shirt is that it had made it to the 75%-off stage (which they do based on how long it has been in the store), which is why I am pretty sure it was the $2.13 shirt (I don't remember picking up any that were originally $10). I assume because most people noticed the fabric letting that area sag and gap, which (unlike my other two issues with it) would happen regardless of the shape of the person considering it. I really don't sew, but bringing that panel together was so obviously easy it was worth it - but apparently not to anyone else....

I also like the color of that first one.

Isn't that a great color? Vivid shades mostly look pretty good on me anyway but the reds and dark pinks I adore.

Wow, stylin'!!! Very attractive shirts, IMHO. Perfect for you, and the right price.

You look great in all of them.

*grins* Thank you!

That was a VERY productive shopping trip, especially compared to all the other thrift stores that yielded...absolutely nothin'.

Well done!

The black is very flattering, so I can understand why you couldn't just leave it. ;)
