Some spring fashion ideas for moms

posted in Don't Know What to Make of This, Office Fashion, Fashion |

purse.jpgIt’s barely 30 degrees in Chicago, my really cute, new, faux-leather Rafe purse from Target (to the right- also makes for a great baby bag) froze on the way to work, and what did I hear? The fashion world is talking spring. This means I need to evaluate what I’m going to purchase in the coming months with the little excess income I have. AND I have to make the trends work for home and for the office. 

I did a little reading about what I should buy.  Here’s why I’m not listening:

clearpurse.jpgA clear handbag: there are some things that should just stay hidden. Like the diaper you accidentally forgot to take out of your purse when you went to work.

Neon: being fashionable does not mean matching the walls of your son’s gym class.

liger1v2.jpgAn animal print top: I don’t want to look like Meester Liger (my son’s blankie to the right). More on Meester Liger soon.

Mini dresses: this is laughable just won’t work with “mommy” hips.

Instead, I think I will invest in the following:

A white handbag: because white is almost clear and I can keep hidingbrpurse.jpg my things from you. Na na na poo poo!

edelmanflats.jpgEyelet flats: comfy and chic for the office or a play date.

nanette2.jpgA flow-y shirt: will hide the muffin top fabulously. (Please excuse the gorgeous model.)

Happy shopping!

    “Mommy hips?” Are you kidding?

    Nice round-up of spring trends. Do real people wear neon? Cornea transplants are soon to rise.

    […] Meester Liger makes it easy for my son to sleep anywhere.  He’s pretty much good to go anywhere as long as he can suck on the corner of the blanket.  Good thing I brought 6 of them.  Again, not joking. […]
