Fashion Mom
Who made up the rule that the minute you give birth, you must lose all sense of fashion and immediately start dressing like your own mother? Do you think Carrie Bradshaw would start shopping at Talbots just because she popped out a Baby Big!
Between sweat suits, matching slacks and tops, and the ever present t-shirt (and I do not mean the cute fitted kind!), mothers tend to believe that they must lose some part of themselves on the delivery room floor in exchange for an attempt at the mother-of-the-year award. Are we to expect our men to only admire the loving way we change a blow-out diaper and not to notice the fact that we have been living in the same pair of khaki shorts for the past 3 days along with a cornucopia of tank tops, current one with the least amount of baby food, justified by the fact that the sports bra and athletic socks are fresh from the dryer?
I am here to tell you that there has been a terrible misunderstanding. First of all, having a child should only enhance who you are as a person, not take away your sense of style. No one needs to be shopping at Talbots unless they are over the age of 45! Coordinating tops and bottoms are only acceptable when they are purchased from Bloomingdales and have Juicy written across the ass. And finally, athletic attire must only be worn if there is an actual attempt at physical fitness. This last rule includes running on the treadmill but not running to the grocery store and post office.
Listen to someone who has spent more money on designer labels than her college diploma, worked in the New York City fashion industry, and owned the Louis Vuitton denim bag BEFORE Jessica Simpson, all while being a stay at home mom to one with one on the way.
10 Commandments of fashion
1. Invest in a pair of designer jeans.
2. Know your right size.
3. What is stylish is not always comfortable.
4. A great fitting bra is mandatory.
5. You can never spend too much on the right pair of shoes.
6. Accessories should not overpower your outfit.
7. Sportswear should be worn only when playing sports.
8. Faux leather shoes and bags are just really bad.
9. Sleeveless shirts are not for everyone.
10. What looks good on a celebrity will probably not look good on you.
