Mommy uniform – summer edition

Remember when I asked you what I should buy, and you ALL had LOTS of opinions that I loved reading about because some of you liked them all, some of you hated them all, some of you loved one and others hated the same one with an equal passion? It was the DEFINITION of awesometastic. (Also, remember when I used to use punctuation and didn’t run on sentences for-ev-ah?)

Today I tried on option 1 and HATED it. Sigh. I’ve put option 2 on the “see if it goes on sale” list. Option 3 didn’t work for today’s instant gratification.

Here you are. Mommy uniform for the summer of 2008.

Old Navy Sweetheart jeans. I’m not a huge Old Navy fan, but these jeans rock. I do have to wear a belt with them because they’re a little big in the waist, but they are comfy and I love them. I got the boot cut, but the flares were cool too. They fit below the muffin top when I sit down.

Ann Taylor wide trim ruched v neck. V is deep enough keep me from looking all boobs, but not so deep I need a cami under it.

I’m either gonna love this or hate it. I’m not sure yet. More Ann Taylor. (They were having a 25% off everything sale today.)

Why yes, yes I did buy the same shirt in 4 colors.

These are particularly cool Gap tshirts because you can flip em around and have a scoop neck. Which is of course how I’ll wearing them due to the ta-tas and all. (You’ll have to click the link to see the scoop pic, these are the colors though.)

Add in some socks and um… knee highs (I can’t stand shoes and bare feet) and I’m all set for summer.

Although. I have to tell you. I’m disturbed. I shopped both Macy’s and Dillards SHOE SALES and I did not find a single shoe that tickled my fancy. I’m a little worried about myself.

    Get thee to a doctor. Shoe sale and no shoes? *shudder*

  2. I’m impressed with the ON jeans. Mostly, because I couldn’t get them over my thighs! Way to keep your shape post-Alex. And, I live in the Ann Taylor t-shirts. Do you have an outlet near you? They were about $6 a piece there.

  7. Love the jeans. Love them. Old Navy bottoms seem to fit me just right every single time. That’s not so with most other brands.

    I’ll look forward to seeing you in all these fantastic clothes at BlogHer!

    My motto is that if you like something, buy it in every color. So few people actually do it. Way to go, you! :)

    I love all the colors, and you did the right thing by buying the same shirt in four colors. That’s a great shirt!

    I’m actually pretty in the ladies department. I’d have to match the colors to your natural skin tone so it would have been hard to recommend.

    I love Old Navy & Gap… with long legs and no hips, their jeans fit nicely for me. I’ve never ventured into Ann Taylor- store or website, but cute shirts at a discount are worth the trip!

    It’s always makes for a good day- shopping for youself, uh?

  16. I haven’t been able to find shoes either. I love your blog. Sometimes I just don’t know what to say after I read it. And that is an odd thing.
