SAHMOM Couture: Style One

I might be the poorest girl with the richest taste.

Thanks to a pair of designer jeans that my dear friend Heather HOsey forced me into.

My filthy minivan sulks among the Benzes and Escalades at Nordstrom WHEN I COULD always just park at Sears. Or Penneys. But then I would have to stroll my children past St. John's Bay Ombre Turtleneck Sweaters that look like an acrylic Arizona sunrise vomiting up last night's spontaneous affair with a handle of Carlo Rossi Chianti. Filthy sun-mouth. Eeeggh. In all fairness, I'm only strolling past the Burberry Porsum pleated jersey dress, just slowly-- stopping breifly to touch the hemline, smell the richness of it's rayon, checking the $2,000 pricetag and GASP! realizing OH MY!! IT'S ON A 40% OFF RACK?? Hmmm??? . . . . . hold it to my Michelin Man figure and dramatically disapprove. My disgusted face tells the Quartermaines and Buchanans that this dress simply will not work with my body-type-- I'm simply more of a maxi-dress and 50 gallon bolero kind of girl.

No surprise that beautiful blogs keep falling into my lap-- err, POST-lap (present fupa). These blogs are hosted by women who look fabulous in clothes that weren't bought at Motherhood. In jeans that don't have elastic waistbands. Or billowing peasant blouses. They have no muffin top to hide. They go to their closet, put on an outfit, photograph themselves . . . and post it on their blog.

And I am addicted to looking at them. These real people in beautiful clothes.

Well readers, I too have a closet (though I don't use it), a rocking chair beside of the bed (rarely) and hardwood floors (bingo). I can reach into a pile of clothes just as easy as Rebecca Woolf or Maegan. I can throw on those clothes and take a picture and post it on my blog. YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you:

STAY AT HOME MOTHER OF MULTIPLES COUTURE:

what I'm wearing:
1. XL Ribbed Tank by Mossimo for Target
2. 1997 NGHS "Go Wilcats Gold" Cheerleading Sports Bra by Body Moves
3. Gray/Pink Flannel Maternity Pajama Bottoms by Tommy Hilfiger

**hidden feature: These pjs are not only dull, they are also ingenious! Hilfiger is not typically known for poor quality, but I was lucky enough to find these limited edition bottoms at TJ Maxx that feature an "easy access hole" in the crotch.

My husband asks "easy access for who?"

I guess he forgot that my period is back in town.
