Copy Cat

I was pretty much copying this chick when I got dressed on this day, except that I couldn't find my black summer hat and didn't want to do the black fedora again, and all my pictures turned out squinty because it was too freaking bright. And! Welcome to another forlorn part of the outside of my house! You've seen the basement door, so now you can see the door to the back porch!

Nobody needs to see that many squinty wrinkles unless it's a before and after botox ad!

Dress: Old Navy

Purse: Aldo

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Bracelet: goblin-made. I mean child-made!

My four year old is obsessed with trying to get me to wear this dress, but then he was mad at me because I wasn't wearing pretty shoes. I told him that I had to wear flat shoes when we walked to pick up his brothers from school, but he was still mad at me until he convinced me to put on red lipstick. Red lipstick is the answer to many of the world's major problems!

White Out

My son saw me wearing this and laughed, then he pointed at me and yelled at his friends on the playground, "Ha! Look at my mom!" He failed to elaborate as to why I looked so funny, but in my opinion it was the shoes. This is my first time wearing an oxford with anything other than pants, coupled with my first time wearing all white. I thought these were the only pair of white shoes I own which is why I grabbed them this morning, but right now I'm sitting here looking at my shoe rack and can see at least three others. I'll have to try this whole white-thing again sometime, it was shocking to me that I didn't end up getting splattered with mud, food, or something child-related.

Skirt: Old Navy, $1.99

Linen Jacket: Old Navy, $2o

Tank: Calvin Klein, $10

Socks: Mommed

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Usually when people show their legs for the first time, they apologise for their whiteness. I'm just going to ignore it for now, this is only the second day of the season that it's been warm enough to show our stems. They'll be back to brown soon enough.

Banged

I have been constantly growing out and recutting my bangs for about three years now. I go through a process of hating them, growing them, then wanting them back so I trim them and then I hate them again. I'm currently in the "hate" stage, but it takes a little while to get them to stop being unruly so I'm still adjusting. I'm going to make them shorter, though. I don't like them when they have to be curled under and hairsprayed as if it were still the 80s but before the tidal wave bangs came into fashion. I'm actually tempted to do the tidal wave just to see if I still how much height I can get on these babies.

Moto, pants, striped tee: Old Navy

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Sunglasses: prescription

I'm pretty sure that I have an unlimited supply of black trousers from Old Navy, only in slightly different leg and back pocket styles and they span three sizes. Seriously, this has to stop. I keep telling myself that I'm going to stay out of that store but then I have to go in to buy things for the children who can't seem to keep the knees in their pants and is it my fault that they put the sale rack next to the little boy's section and they have black trousers for 9 dollars? That store is like thrifting for me!
