A post about how people stop in their tracks (which forces me to stop in my track) and read across my boobs. I'm always in the position; do my pull the shirt away from my chest so they are more comfortable, do I thrust out my chest so they can read it better? It's simply takes people a while to read it and so, I stand and ponder my 'position'. I thought what could be better than a post about how awesome these shirts are than to be able to give away one of these lovely tees to someone. I was once a buyer, I know mark-ups and actual cost. It would be nothing for them, so I begged, I pleaded, I emailed and you know what, they said... nothing.
Yep, I'm cool enough to not even get a response. I thought, when I anxiously sent the email, what's the worst they can say? (Apparently, the worst thing that can say truly is nothing at all).
So, I'm saying @$#% them forget them. I'm giving away a $10 Target gift card so you can get your own cool tee for the bargain price of $10. Leave me a comment, maybe tell me how 'cool' you are too. Just think, maybe you could get a tee like one of these...
or if feeling a little bit 'spicy'
I'm totally joking about this last shirt. Not in a million years would I wear this (well, maybe... now that I've looked at it for a while in this post, it's growing on me. I'm becoming such a denim-with-pleats sort of mom).giveaway open until 10/22 - my birthday present to you.
PS- my 'economy' is as bad as the rest of the world, $10 is all I can afford

love the shirt!
Pleated jeans?? Please, Beth, let's talk first! I think it's time for an intervention. ;-) But then again... you are old enough to be my mom and all LOL! You know I'm kidding...
This is fun - hmm... How cool am I?? I have a hair color people just drool over. I never go anywhere without people telling me my hair is 'just gorgeous' and so on and so on... I used to absolutely hate it and now I love it!
How cool am I? Well, I am so cool that it just would not be polite to talk about it. :)
Or, I am so cool that I have a $60,000 piece of hardware in my chest, that is cool right?
I have a Midwestern Girl tee too - did you know that before you bought yours? We should wear them the same day. Mine's brown.
I don't need anything for free from you, but perhaps I'm so cool because I'm YOUR sister!
Noooo to the pleated jeans (and the elastic waist band)
Those shirts are cute--even the last one ;)
I hate it when people read my chest. Geez. I think you could pull off that pumpkin shirt.
Cool giveaway, Beth. I would promise to buy something cool with it.
I think I should win because I was actually on the California city championship team in '78! ... Where did I leave that shirt???
my economy loves that it's ten dollars to my favorite playdate! so does my husband :)
and the shirt - uber cute. even if they won't give you free tshirt love, i might still go shopping!
New to your site - super cute though!
I just got a cool tshirt from a friend on my birthday (picture of it on my blog) that reads "Sweet, Spicy...and a little intense"...which is pretty accurate. :)
CUTE shirt - love it! The best thing about all those t-shirts is they are LONG. I have a long torso and hated with a passion those "short" t-shirts that were in style for so long. I hate having my muffin top stick out from under my shirt - totally uncool.
So, therefore, when I wear long t-shirts and keep that area "covered", I am cool :-)
I love the shirt.. wish I was from the midwest. But I like the target gift card better, b/c I bet the corn-fed shirt doesn't come in maternity styles.
Wait, I am reading other's comments. Am I supposed to tell you how cool I am? so cool, I won't email you.
That shirt is AWESOME! Target has some great stuff, too (though I'm not an abstract tree, snowflake or pumpkin kind of girl).
Yo, I totally want the gift card. I can't promise I'll buy a t-shirt, and if I did it DEFINITELY would not be the cling-to-your-body type that all the "I'm obviously not a mom" models have on. I need something with some breathing room, that doesn't highlight my backfat rolls or my muffin top. Got anything in a tent?
I enjoyed your post, and as a sensitive husband (I have 7 sisters and a daughter), and a lover of shirts, I am often stuck in a similar dillema on the opposite end. Do I stop and look? Especially when I am genuinely interested in the shirt, I have a fear of the female shirt wearer misinterpreting my gaze as something uncomfortable to both of us- but then I wonder- why wear such a shirt unless you are ok with people looking in your direction?
Usually I ignore the shirt. Or I ask my wifey to read it to me. So maybe I am super uncool because I dont like staring at chests of women who are not my wifey, maybe that makes me super cool. Either way- great blog post.
Ooohhh...sweetie...Target? A $10 giftcard? Absolute. heaven.
I love their t-shirts...love them.
Thank you for this awesome giveaway! You are the best!
Target!!
Target!!
Target!!!
How much I love TARGET!!!
And can I just tell you that this midwestern girl totally thinks she needs one of those shirts too. I'm off to see what jerks won't let you give away one of their shirts!
And your b-day is the 22nd. Noting this important date now! :)
I'm a good ole midwestern gal myself. I'm afraid if I wore that people would tell me to quit eating so much corn! LOL Cute,though. Let em gawk at the rack! No need to pull it out.
I guess this means I need to go get my own at Tagret when I win, right!?!? :)
Actually, I'm a preschool teacher & this week alone, TWO of the teachers at our school have worn the jackolantern shirt. It's really cute in person.
But yeah...put me down for the drawing! And I'm so w/ the Texan mama who posted above. No skinny shirts for this mama body!
I love the Midwestern tee! I have one, too...two hands in the shape of an "M" and a "W" so it kind of looks like a gang sign. Since I live in Baltimore, I try not to wear it out very often.
I am so cool I make ice cubes chilly. (and my nipples are always erect). bwahahaha
I LOVE the pumpkin shirt!
I have been wanting to post about a great shirt I found that says, "St. Paul Girls are Hot." They are made and sold locally, so I know there's not a "Chicago Girls are Hot" version. I have the same dilemma when people are reading my chest, and there is an added discomfort when they realize what it says - something about "hot" while staring at my chest...
The best part is that we explained to our daughter what the shirt says. Now when she wants to say something nice to me, she says, "Mom, you are HOT."
BTW, Midwestern girls are the best, and I love that others who posted here also have Midwestern girl t-shirts!
OMG, the pleated jeans comment was the funniest thing, EVER.
And for the record, at our house, Dylan, Loden and Owen refer to those as "Grandma jeans." And MY mom doesn't wear them.....
p.s. I have the "Iowa Girl" t-shirt.
