From Inmates to Playdates

If you are visiting here from Big Mama’s Fashion Friday, I’d like to welcome you to my humble abode. I’m so glad you are here. Before I get started though, I should let you know that I am playing fast and loose with the whole ‘Fashion’ part of this title. The truth is I am a stay-at-home mom who no longer has any idea about fashion or all it has to offer.

When I was employed, and you know, receiving a pay-check, I pushed high-end fashion to the limit and went to jail each day decked out in the best that Kohl’s and Goody’s had to offer.

Or Wal-mart and Target.

I enjoy looking nice and orderly but quite frankly, when your knocking around town in your minivan with a three-year-old in tow, its hard to get past the comfort of the yoga pant and t-shirt. (Oh yoga pant, I do love you so!)

It would be a sad state of affairs if I returned to work today because I would have no idea where to start to get my closet in tip-top fashion shape. I have some good-church-clothes that could get me started, but aside from that, I’d probably have to call in the fashion police.

The only thing I know for certain is that I would not be jumping on the scarf  band wagon. I don’t get the whole scarf thing. Its just another thing to deal with during my already hectic day and if I’m being honest, I can’t stand the thought of something hugging my neck like this.  I doubt seriously I could even tie the scarf properly. 

I just don’t understand the appeal of the scarf. If you happen to be one of the thousands of gals who enjoy a scarf, you should totally ROCK ON! Each to their own I guess, but quite frankly, the scarf just doesn’t appeal to me. If it takes a scarf to be in fashion, you know where I’ll be. I’d much rather throw on some bling.

But enough of that rant.

I am hoping to visit McDaddy in May and would love to arrive at his 6-month vacation locale looking fabulous and flirty in a new outfit. I thought it might be fun to let ya’ll join me on my shopping extravaganza as I try to find just the right outfit to knock McDaddy’s proverbial socks off as I step off of the plane.

Let’s start with this little diddy that I found at Macy’s. The whole thing just screams cute to me. And, the best part is that it looks oh. so. comfortable.

I also liked this, and this.

Next, I headed to Target where I found this cute little number

although if I’m being honest, I can’t see me dragging two kids, two car-seats, half the house and my lap-top through customs dressed like this.

Just keepin’ it real.

My last stop was the Mart of Walls. I’m sad to say that as hard as I tried, I came up empty handed. If you happen to be one of the thousands who destest Wal-Mart, may I just say that Wal-Mart is a fine establishment. There’s not another place on the planet where you can get your taxes prepared, your nails done, your hair cut, your tires rotated, a check cashed and a Subway sandwich all in one stop.

Sam Walton is was the man. I donate to his empire weekly. I’d donate even more though if he started offering these fabulous shoes that I may or may not have displayed in last week’s fashion post.

What can I say? I love me some cute shoes.

Thanks for stopping by Inmates. For some real fashion advice, you should head over to Big Mama’s place.
