Oh Christmas tree



It is a well known fact that pregnancy affects the brain. Combine this with some of the disastrous maternity wear available and you get a rather dangerous combination. Which brings me to my point. A few years ago, some time just before Christmas, I was perusing through Coles while heavily pregnant. Obviously there was something wrong with my brain and I was wearing some kind of hideous red and green baby doll number from Tree of Life. Standing by the pasta aisle, I was approached by a woman I vaguely knew who told me that I looked Christmassy.

Aaaaargh!

When I got home and checked myself out in the mirror I knew she was right. Disaster. Who wants to look like a walking Christmas tree, complete with a giant stomach and swollen ankles?! However, I think this Cohen number would be perfect for Christmas cocktails or even New Years Eve. Yet while it is celebratory, it is also stylish and gorgeous and not red, green or even gold. Thankfully, now that the baby is out, so is my common sense. Phew.
