Summer fashions
I just love it!
Got the ole summer clothes out of storage today. Twas a real shock, since I hadn't really worn them in 2 years. I spent last summer in the oh-so-lovely maternity fashions. Tried to see what still fit. Not much fit up past the ole thighs. Ah, the tragedy. Those cute clothes deserve to be worn, damnit! Can't button any of the bottoms, & all my shirts are too short due to the baby boobs issue. Damn these big boobs! (Never thought I'd say that....)
I was going to go shopping tomorrow. I'm not sure what's going on with the fashions today. Seems like a lot of shirts are the sort of drop waisted 80's style, some with a little ruffle on the bottom. Which is great if you're , say, Mischa Barton on the OC. Not so great if you just gave birth, or have any sort of normal-shaped body.
Oh, and leggings are back! I agree this can be cute, but then you have to wear it with one of those long shirts and now we're back to that problem. I'll admit I was a little excited to see them showing long shorts again. I never felt comfortable in those short shorts. Just a personal thing. I don't really like shorts at all, I prefer skirts anyhow.
Which leads me to the jean skirt dilemma. Of course I can't fit into my 2 cutest jean skirts (OK, well I fit, but it ain't pretty). So all the dang skirts are approximately 6 inches long. I picked one up and really thought it was a belt. I live in the jean skirt....I must find one (knee-length, A-line or pencil will do, let me know if you see any).
Oh, and sandals. I need sandals. Is it possible to lose weight in your feet? Some sort of foot-diet? (Only if it let's me eat chocolate for every meal of every day like the ones on TV).
Maybe I need to stop shopping in the Juniors section- it would make my mom so happy...
Well it turns out I'm not going shopping anyway, I'm going to the Cubs game with my brother Jeff. Should be equally depressing. I felt like a bad mom today because I dressed E. in a Cubs outfit. At least it fit.

Leggings.
Miss Lohan loves her some leggings.
I'm thinking ... I'm not too sad to them come back. They look great with boots!
Don't go in for ruffles on the bottoms of my shirts, either. I'll save that for little girls. I have NO JEAN SKIRTS, but I really really want one now, L!
That's how cool you are :)!
There was even a page in a recent celeb magazine totled "I really love my..." and this week or last week it was Lohan and her leggings!
Buy your husband some golf clothes too.
So Laura, I tried on a shortish denim skirt at Old Navy yesterday and thought of you. AND I saw leggings, smiled, and thought of you.
The skirt looked pretty cute. I didn't buy it as it was $26. I'm gonna hit up TJMaxx and Marshalls for the Perfect Laura-Inspired Denim Skirt.
I'll keep posted ...

That's for a cute (but $$$) denim pencil at Urban.
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt was born Saturday night! From what I hear, no placenta was ingested.
I tried on that asshole skirt at Urban! Looked like I had side-butt pouches, & I couldn't bend over!
Curses!
I may have to hit up ole navy... I'm going through jean skirt withdrawal.
Thanks for the tips guys!
Do you think they named her after that Neil Diamond song?
