My friends are helping me out though. They want me to be more hip and fashionable. This past week, two of my pals sent me special gifts to help me accessorize. Now I'm just waiting for Stacy and Clinton to arrive on my doorstep so I can be the next guest on the What Not To Wear show.
How do you have a sense of style when you wear semi-professional clothes to work five days a week? Then while you're home, you grab those t-shirts and boxers (a.k.a. the frumpy stuff)?
I'll admit it. I even own granny panties. What?? They're so dang comfy!
I don't enjoy shopping for clothes. I walk into places with no earthly idea of what I want. I just go to the clearance racks and search for something that I think would not make me look ridiculous. Or I grab whatever is closest so I can get in and out of the stores quickly. Is there a class that I can take in Fashion 101?
Even my husband has been giving me tips on what to wear lately. Although his suggestions are more in the form of a Victoria's Secret catalog.
Looking back at my high school photos, I see that I didn't have a sense of style back then either. I often wore overall shorts and Bugs bunny socks that went up to my knees. Yes, I wore that to school like I was making a statement! (A statement that must've said, "Pity me. I cannot dress myself properly.")
Probably the most stylish I have been in my life was while I was pregnant. I wore polka-dot maternity dresses and hip jeans with designs on them. I didn't mind shopping for pregnancy clothes. I found it an excuse to be daring, if only for those nine months.
Oh well. At least my friends have great style and they're sharing their flare with me. Here I am goofing off in their gifts to me - a funky hat (Move over J-Lo!), a floral hair clip and a cool necklace.
(Laughing at how serious I'm trying to be here....I'm so goofy....)
Closeups of my friends' fashion sense - the cool items they sent to me:
Thanks ladies~! You've given me some great items and allowed me to have some fun, not to mention remind myself why I'm no runway model!
If you like the hat, please check out my friend Amanda's boutique. She makes these cool designs for moms and their tots. Amanda is quite a talented lady and she customizes everything, so you will have a one-of-a-kind item.
Time for me to show off my goods at the event of the season -- a trip to the grocery store! I will be looking so fine as I shop for milk, bread and diapers.
Yo, Peace out!

Aw, you're so pretty! Love these pictures. In high school I used to dress crazy to make a statement too. I had a pair of bright orange dickies I would wear with flame shoes. I don't know what was wrong with me, LOL. (I also wore overalls.) Then I straightened out when I went to college and started shopping "normally". I wish we lived closer so we could go shopping together!
P.S. I own a pair of granny panties too...but they are tucked far back in my underwear drawer, and only come out when I've been lazy about doing laundry. Not even my husband knows! (Shhhhh...) LOL
I'm going to age myself and tell you that I wear granny panties all the time because they are more comfortable than thongs! LOL
Anyway, you are so cute so you can get by with wearing a lot of different styles and it would look good on you. I'm so glad that I have two daughters to guide me in the right direction of being a fashion extraordinaire. Without their help, I'd be looking pretty pathetic!
You're so cute naturally! You probably would look good in anything. I think I was probably the most stylish during my pregnancy days too:) Fun photos!
What color works best on you, what would your friends say is "your" color? Let that color guide your eye to those styles, whether it is black or turquoise or chocolate brown. It'll work if the color's right.
That cap really works on you, btw. It's a lot of fun :)
Okay, You are cute as a button! Love the new pictures. I will have to send you some of my NF pics too. Just got back from AZ and glad to be home. Don't worry, I have absolutely NO fashion sense. I think you read my bath post, so you know I have grannies! Heehee
