Last night, the Flyer hosted one of its Work It Wednesday happy hours at Bardog. I can’t speak for all of the staff — since most of them haven’t stumbled into the office yet — but I think we had a pretty good time. And part of that was certainly due to the cuteness that is pregnant bartender Brooke Brewer.

Her outfit for the evening consisted of jeans from Crazy Beautiful, a belly band — because her stomach is getting bigger, but the rest of her isn’t — and a tanktop from Target.

It’s sort of hard to tell, but the tank is covered with multi-colored peace signs. Her wardrobe also includes a pair of pink peace sign shorts.

“I like peace signs. I’m trying to bring them back,” she says.
