Pop! Here we are getting ready to go to the holiday party for Six Apart. I had been feeling a little down the week before, not having a cute little number to wear to the shindig, and not wanting to spend a ton of money on some maternity cocktail dress I would wear once or twice. So I went shopping in hopes of at least finding some new accessories to dress up the one black maternity dress I had, and I discovered this dress on the sale rack at Banana Republic. Marked down from $125 to $12.99, the last one was in a size two larger than I would wear in my prepregnancy days, but it fit perfectly. God bless the empire waist!
