Frumpy To Fabulous In Seconds

I saw a woman at the mall today who apparently did not get the memo: leggings are not pants. My guess is that she came straight from the gym…not a good decision. She was slim, late thirties and she had her daughter tightly by the hand as she rushed past me. Leggings are comfortable and perfect for yoga or workouts, but denial has set in once you think that they are a substitute for trousers. On the positive side I thought how confident she must be to parade her backside around in such a very public place. Then the negative thoughts crept in: she is either clueless as to how she looks, or she just doesn’t care. All “sporty mom” had to do was slip on a thigh length tunic and trade the shoes for some cute flats and she would have gone from frumpy to fabulous in seconds.

I think many of us moms get too tired and too busy to even care how we look to the world...plus many of us just don't know how to pull "fashion" in our lives together to make it simple and fun. That's why you are so invaluable, Kim, you make it easy!

I agree...any mom can tell you it's hard to find the time to even think about fashion...can't wait to read your e-book!
