Brought to you by…..
I wasn’t going to participate in this today either, until I read Queen B’s rival Diet Pepsi post and felt I must defend my Diet Coke honor. If you haven’t read it, click on the link and then pop back here when you’re done. What I have to say will make so much more sense.
I give you – my FAVORITE Diet Coke t-shirt. (And yes, that is me.)
And my favorite skinny jeans. (Also me. But I swear, I’m not that thin. It’s the Big Star jeans from The Buckle. And clearly, it’s why they are my FAVORITE!)
I’m almost always in Born sandals. (LOVE that about Atlanta weather!)
And today, I’m wearing a Diet Coke ball cap. (Not because of any hair fiasco, I just haven’t had a shower since Wednesday. Which has been adequately explained in earlier posts.)
But on any given Sunday, you’ll find me in my favorite sundress and strappy white sandals.
I felt it absolutely necessary to challenge ask Queen B on why she posted t-shirts and jeans instead of choosing to display her most recent (and might I add fabulous) purchases from Anthropologie. Her exact response was, “You didn’t expect me to actually wear that stuff, did you?”
I, therefore, am the proud new owner the following wardrobe from *OUR* favorite store – worth a veritable mortgage payment.
But, I would never ask for this:
Because there is only ONE Queen.
(Who is enjoying a Diet Coke and still editing The Second Coming of My Savior.)

An editor, Diet Coke in hand, sits down to chat with God. She hands Him her Bible (His Bible!) and says, “Lord, you’ve done a lovely job with this, but I think we need to rework that second coming part. The trumpets work, but how ’bout adding in a full orchestra and some angelic singers? And I was thinking, if our new glorious resurrection clothing could be jeans that truly make us look thin, you’d probably draw alot more women.”
What do you mean “But I swear, I’m not that thin.” The camera doesn’t lie baby! The camera doesn’t lie, unless of course, you photoshopped it.
I would say that I cannot like you and your skinny, top-ladden self, but you’re too funny and you know that Coke tops pepsi in all it’s formats. Therefore, I can’t help but like you anyway.
Shalee -
I’m not smart enough for Photoshop. Yet. I will admit, I was standing sideways.
You might be the FIRST person – EVER – to call me top-laden. I’m telling you, it’s the shirt. It’s amazing what a good cut can do. My sister-in-law once asked me though, if I’d had surgery. I was wearing this shirt.
Did I mention it’s my FAVE?
And to prove that I’m not a liar – one day I’ll post a less than flattering photo of myself. I promise.
LOVE the Sunday sun dress!! Very cute…..
I’m with Shalee. If you weren’t a Coke fan, I might have to hate you and your flat tummy. But I do love the Queen and now I think I must love you too. But I’m on your side in the Coke/Pepsi wars.
Coke rules. And, you cannot fool old broads, cameras make a person look HEAVIER, not skinner; therefore, I can only assume you are indeed small. But that’s OK. Truly. Not Jealous.
That dress is rocking! I love that! I enjoyed stopping by! I hope you can drop in on my fashion fiesta!
If you are REALLY that thin, you just went off my “favorite people” list.
Sigh
Indiana -
I’m sorry.
Have you read enough of my blog to know that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
I spend a lot of time being “sick”. But I’m still a really fun person!
Leigh -
Here I come to your blog!!!
I don’t know what all of you women are doing with your time…don’t you realize that the Red Sox and Yankees are playing????
Prince -
I’ll meet you in the bedroom.
Watch how fast he RUNS, y’all.
ATL, baby! Me, too! You must be a real ATL girl to stick up for Coke! It’s a sin to drink something else here, you know!
And I DO love me some Anthropologie!
What a brave husband for venturing on here!
LOve the Diet Coke shirt! We were in Atlanta last summer and I almost bought one at the Coke store. I wish I had!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
I won’t hold it against you that you are THAT thin. I have lost 58 lbs since July, but I will never be THAT thin. It’s okay though, I’m good with it.
I love that collection from Anthropologie! I’m gonna have to check that place out!
Girl middle aged to me is about 35-the point when you decide you are “old”…Which I will never be. But I sure aint “young”. AS Bugffett says, I am growing older but not up. I think I am middle of the road in my journey of life, though closer to the side of youth…
I am in a hip hop class and my teacher was telling me how people dance in clubs…thats young…I am so glad I am not in the dating world. That post is on my blog, it is http://lbratina.blogspot.com/2008/04/dance-dance-dance.html
Good Lawd! I am glad I am beyond all of that.
This is me, Indiana, back again. I’m eating humble pie that you didn’t know I was only kidding you about being thin since I am – - – - well – - – NOT anymore.
I would never truly cross anyone off my “list” and I don’t even really have a “list” to begin with.
Please accept my most humble pie.
I felt a little out of the loop even though I’d read Queen B’s fiesta first. And by the way it is very very difficult not to wish my stomach looked like yours! *sigh* You had an excellent photographer? Si? I’ll have to come back and really, don’t apologize for how great you look! That’s awesome. Even on this “hat day”. BTW, your post on the second coming was great!
I can bet everything I own that those jeans would certainly NOT make me look that thin! LOL! You’re a hottie, be proud of it!!!
I love the rivalry with Coke vs. Pepsi. But I must admit, I’m a Pepsi fan all the way!!
Pepsi Rules.
I do love the Big Star jeans, too. I’ll take my picture in them and see if miracles occur.
Very cute sundress.
By the way…the purse is not so great. I have dumped everything out of it twice in 3 days.
Pepsi Rules.
Queen B -
Don’t even THINK I’m not up late enough to have the LAST WORD!
Have you forgotten that I have preschool NEPHEWS awake at this ungodly hour??
Coke is IT, baby!
Anthropologie… oh I do love that store. Too bad every time I have been in there lately I can barely get my double stroller around the racks. Guess I’ll have to shop online instead!
That sundress is divine. Ane the purse… so cute!
Love the sundress! Love the jeans as well!
Diet Coke is way better than Diet Pepsi! I’ll have to check out the Big Star jeans once I’m not pregnant : ).
Love that sundress! And the stuff from Anthropologie made me swoon more than a little.
