Life is not a photo shoot… and I mean that in the best
possible way. I love to look at other bloggers’ posts and I enjoy the quality
of their photos and how crisp and seamless all their looks are………but that’s not
my reality!! I have a baby, he’s almost four months old and he is the light of
my life....What that means is that I still love fashion, I do, but fashion for me now is all
about short cuts and being fab, not only on a budget, but in the shortest amount
of time possible! Sidebar: His first week in daycare, I found myself gobbling
down my lunch at break neck speeds before I remembered that he was at daycare
and I could actually eat at a regular pace….lol!!!
Life for me these days means laying out outfits weeks in
advance and maybe not having the time to switch them around if I don’t like the
way an element looks. Life is; multiple burp cloths and realizing that stylish bibs are
not as absorbent as they look. Life is; getting fully dressed and having to
undress because baby is now hungry and has to eat so later for the top half of
my outfit……(yes he eats on a loose schedule but breastfed babies get hungry
sometimes ahead of schedule)! Life is; not wearing your delicate multi strand
necklace at a baby event or it will be pulled and broken. Life is about making
it work!! And in the process of finding ways to make it work I came up with a theme for my next few posts; one
look two ways!!!
Why one look, two ways? Because now, more than ever my clothes have to pull double duty,
triple even; church, work and mommy on the go! Gone are the days of church
clothes, work clothes or weekend clothes, at least in my book. It’s all about
making what you have work for the occasions that you need them to. Changing a
jacket, shoes or accessories can go a long way to stretching your “cost per
wear” and the functionality of your wardrobe. Some items you will discover are
simply not baby friendly and those must be saved for non-baby events but for
the most part your wardrobe must reflect where you are in your life BUT still
be cute, fab or whatever look you are going for!! Here is my first post featuring the first outfit of my one look,
two ways series!! This is the baby friendly look and includes my cute cute cute diaper bag......Let me know what you think!!
P.S I am totally obsessed with tie dyed, bleached or acid washed denim!!!!
