Today, I went shopping at a thrift store. I found a really cute top that fit me perfectly, so I bought it. Afterwards, I noticed the original tag was still on it. It read: "designed with your pregnancy in mind". It was a maternity top. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finally found a cute dress that hugged my curves and hid my imperfections. I wore it to my friend's house, and was feeling pretty good about myself, until some pregnant woman walked into the room wearing the exact same thing. It was a maternity dress. FML
Today, I went to a thrift store and found heaps of clothes that I loved that fit me perfectly. Then I found a special distinctive dress. My dress. My dad had thrown away heaps of my clothes and I had to buy them all back. FML
Today, while shopping for clothes, I asked the assistant to recommend something for me. She took me to the maternity section. Thanks, but I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I bought a new, expensive dress for a date. I left the tag on and hidden in hopes of returning it later. Someone saw it and ripped it off for me to "save me from embarrassment." FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Today, my mother asked a woman at the clothing store we go to all the time when her baby was due. Turns out the woman isn't pregnant. FML
Today, I went to Seattle with my mom to visit my pregnant sister, only to end up being dragged to a store to buy maternity clothes. The saleswoman apologized to me repeatedly for not having a lounge for the fathers, but congratulated me on the baby. I'm a girl. FML
Today, while shopping in the FML store I bought the "Retro Sport Tee," I didn't notice you are supposed to put your own "FML" on the shirt. Mine says "Today, Your Text Here. FML." FML
Today, I was at Target trying on swimsuits. I tried on a medium bottom and was so excited because it fit perfectly even though I've gained a few pounds. My self-esteem was at an all-time high until my mom told me I could never fit into a medium. I rechecked the tag. It was an extra large. FML
Today, I wore a beautiful new dress that I got for £5 only in a sale. I've been turning heads in it all day. When I got home, my mum pulled the massive red £5 tag off of the back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have a couple maternity tops that look really cute on me, and I've never been pregnant. Once I deliberately bought a maternity top because it was so cute. Don't worry about it.

I chuckled when i read this because I actually did the same thing. (Man, thats why i hate shopping at thrift stores. EVERYTHING is all out of order.) Just because the shirt is maternity wear, does not mean that you're fat. There are some really skinny little pregnant teenagers out there. You can't judge your body by the clothes you buy, no matter what style it is or anything.

If you're fat round your stomach, it means the fat's surrounding all your vital organs and insides, whereas if you're fat round your legs, it's just muscle with fat round it, of course neither is good, but carrying it all round your waist is worse!!

as a fellow fat chick, the only way i can see this is bad is that you're actually pregnant. you're not. go have a sundae to celebrate the find.

... Yea, well if u r skinny than it doesnt mattr but if not, take a hint and loose some weight!

No, it is 'loose', at least in this context. 'Lose' would mean to have lost, etc. Unless you mean that the people saying "Loose weight" should be saying "Lose weight". In that case, you're right.

this doesn't necessarily mean the OP is fat. she could've just thought it was a normal babydoll or empire waist top. which skinny people do wear. and to the OP, nobody will know it's a maternity shirt unless you show them the tag or tell them. if it looks good, wear it. also, many people commenting here should learn that it's lose, not loose. (sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine.) =]
