I love, love, love Whitney's dress! But..please..let's stop the false modesty of shopping at thrift stores on Zach's police salary. That ain't no thrift store dress!
ReplyDeleteYou would be very surprised what you find at thrift stores, many items still have price tags on them. I got a brand new Tommy Hilfilger dress shirt at our local thrift store for $4.00! And I have a friend who's husband is police officer and she shops at thrift stores.There is nothing wrong with that.
DeleteWhy be so quick to judge? This could have been a gift. Where the dress came from is her business.
DeleteBecause you have personal knowledge of where she purchased her dress, right?!?
DeleteWell, one has to splurge once in a while.
DeleteI think Whitney looks beautiful.
DeleteThere are so many consignment shops that you can buy clothing like Whitney's dress.
I have seen Kelly and the girls shop at them for Bradley's first birthday and Erin's babies on different episodes.
Be nice!
How do you know it wasn't purchased at a thrift shop or given to her as a gift?
DeleteThe other day my mom found a brand new dress barn brand skirt at our local thrift store with the tags still on it. She paid 5 bucks for it.

DeleteIt's a super cute dress, but I don't think it's necessary to presume to judge who paid for it, how much they paid for it, or anything else that's absolutely none of our business.
DeleteThrift stores sell items that were originally sold by other stores - everything from very high end boutiques on down. You are more likely to find the best clothes there, than at a discount department store. You should check it out sometime.
DeleteShe may very well shop at thrift stores, doesn't mean she isn't allowed to splurge on a new dress every once in awhile. It's their money.
DeleteI noticed that you still haven't put in a picture of Lexi Mae in the header!
ReplyDeleteTheir webmaster is working on it! It takes time to get the header updated.
DeleteOh okay! That makes sense :) I was just curious.
DeleteI can't imagine trying to update these headers. Not a job I would want.
DeleteLove your show and family. It's a pleasure to watch.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how they both look so good after two kids. I've only had one and I look terrible. Lol
ReplyDeleteHave you tried a treadmill?
DeleteWhat a rude unsolicited comment 2:27!!
DeleteI can't understand why people choose to make such unloving/unhelpful comments on these blogs... whether about the Bates/Duggar families or about other posters here.
Just keep it to yourself!!
The truth can be hard to face @3:58. While the OP could have definately been more tactful there is probably an air of truth to it. Most women complain about "baby weight" but very few put in the hard work to get rid of it. I'm going to try and assume the OP meant well??
DeleteThat is nice to try to look for a positive out of a pretty rude comment..... :( I do not understand why people feel the need to be rude... no one has any idea what this young mother is facing or dealing with!! Think twice before saying something unkind!! What goes around comes around in life!
DeleteLove the pictures. I love Alyssa hair it's cute with the braid in the front.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Chad and Erin? Great pics!
ReplyDeleteno new photo of erin & chad?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous families!! But where is John in Alyssa's picture? Kelly and Gil should be so proud! Chad and Erin are missing too!
ReplyDeleteWhy won't they make a DVD of all the Bates weddings? We would all like to see the weddings instead of just seeing snapshots of the married couples.
ReplyDeleteLike the dress too....and it could be
ReplyDeletefrom a thrift store...👍🏼
Ok, now get a pic of Erin's family...👍🏼
ReplyDeleteAllie Webster and Kaci Bates look a lot a like in these pics
ReplyDeleteKom
What about chad, Erin,Carson, and Brooklyn.
ReplyDeletec.s
Great pictures! Those are some pretty adorable kids.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Whitneys's above the knee dress with dominatrix style shoes be classified in the "defrauding" category?
ReplyDeleteYour sarcasm is ridiculous. Everything that needs to be covered, is covered. She is dressed modestly.
DeleteI have seen this this style of shoe usually it's described as "strappy" but dominatrix is a new one. If I had cute small.feet I'd wear them.
DeleteGreat more babies with big bows on their heads.
ReplyDeleteI know! Aren't they adorable?
DeleteThey are totally adorabe!
DeleteWow Kaci is starting to look like Whitney to me! does anybody else agree that Kaci is starting to look like Whitney? Great photos Allie and Lexi are looking so adorable too!
ReplyDeleteWhitney looks great. From my Los Angeles point of view -- wish she would put Zach in a white or blue shirt and use the tie for the accent color. It would look a lot more sophisticated than the pink, red, etc. shirts he often wears.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures. Bradley looks so cute in his suit and tie.
ReplyDeleteI love Michaela & Brandon
Agreed!!
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures - each one just lovely.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa & Josie (in my opinion) are so petite. . .
Kelly Jo's mother is also petite.
Beautiful women.
I also have seen high end clothing in thrift stores.
Whiteny looks so nice all the time. . . . their family picture could be on an Easter Greeting Card!
Wow so cute mrs whitney bates you are rockin that dress and shoes girl.nowhere does it say you can't be Christian aND cute!!!!!as for Zachary shirt let's remember they live in a fairly rural area therefore have a different style than if they lived in a larger city just my opinion. Whitney is a doll.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Mary..... All of the Bates girls/and Whitney are adorable.......there is nothing in the bible that says you can't be cute... and wear nice clothes! :)
DeleteMaybe Whitney's and Zach picture was done for Easter? Such photogenic people and love Lil Kaci Lyn shoes? I have never seen that type.on a baby and isnt Bradley just an easter doll in his baby blue suit? this is just a perfect "awww" picture.like when Bradley is a teen he will show that pic to people and they'll say "awwww"
ReplyDeleteYes, cute baby footwear! Love Whitney's shoes, too!Too cute!!!
DeleteIkr sooo cute. Erin usually has cute shoes too love her wedge heels that she often wears. Just love Whitney's style.she is extremely photogenic. Hard to find a bad picture of her. Darling family.
DeleteWhitney's inside beauty just shines right through in her smile. She seems like she treats Zach really well... they are too cute... and she is an awesome mom (from what I can tell) ! :)
DeleteBeautiful pictures!! Also I own my own flea market/thrift store and you would be amazed at what good finds you can get!! I once got a 200.00 Stone mountain purse with tags still on it for 10.00 at another thrift store I frequent!
ReplyDeleteWhere did Whitney get her dress? It is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteFound it! It is $70 at NY&Co. Looks better on Whitney than the model.
ReplyDeleteLove whitney's dress, it's super cute!
ReplyDeleteI was on the new York and co.site and the band's of color are not on the original dress.does anyone know if they were added maybe to lengthen the dress for more modesty? Super cute and love the sleeves and shoes.she is lovely and does great things with modest clothing.
