Mommy Style!

Between being home with David; carting him to school or karate lessons, having endless play dates at the house, doing the dishes, laundry, and cleaning, or working my part time job- There's just not a ton of free time at the end of the day, or enough coffee. BUT when there is, there's something I love to do. I love to curl up on the couch & read a celebrity mag rag or blog ( i.e. In Touch, or http://www.perezhilton.com/). I don't know, call it a guilty pleasure. I love to sip on some tea & read about these fabulous people who even with all their money can't get it together! I don't know it makes me feel like I'm on some kind of even playing field.

However, there is also all the FASHIONS that just scream out on those pages! All those celebrities look so flawless...all the time! Even the Mom's! You don't see them donning ripped yoga pants and four-year-old Ugg's  So maybe like me, you Mom's out there try to fit these trends into your life? Without looking silly, looking like a teenager, or looking just plain embarrassing (I am some one's Mom ya know?) Sure it's easy enough to rock a pair of cool boyfriend jeans and grab a scarf, but some of them are a little trickier to accomplish than others...like all these recent nail trends! Whatever happened to slapping on some Lincoln Park After Dark  and being done with it! Now there's all the nail art, neon nails, shatter nail polish, and the newest nail trend...the one nail that's painted a different color.

Well I decided to try to take on the challenge of pulling off these trends without looking like I was twelve-teen. So I decided to try two different trends in (shatter nail polish and painting one nail a different color) I used neutral colors, so my nails were still subdued. The colors I used were Chincilly by ESSIE and a purple shatter nail polish.

So there it is... a little reminder that I'm still current and with it! Fashion is always something I've loved! I was known to try just about any trend and a lot of them were failures (i.e. Vinyl Pants) But HEY! Barely there mini skirts landed me my fiancee! It's more than that though, fashion has a silly way of making me feel like...me. Not just David's Mom, but that fearless, wild, care free, girl that would have thought painting the living room with primary colors was awesome! I think David deserves to meet her... sometimes : )
