Wanted: Someone to give me some fashion advice!
It's quite pathetic actually. I went shopping yesterday to find something to wear for the pageant photos that are in a week. I knew exactly what shirt I wanted, but that is where it ended. We need jeans you see, and since all the jeans I own make me look like I have no rear end or a saggy one, it would only seem necessary that I purchase some. I keep hearing about skinny jeans, actually I've been hearing about them for a while now, and I have never put my legs through a pair. I thought, what the heck, and asked the gal where I would find some in the store. I was so embarrased to admit I was that behind on fashion. Then I check out the shoes. I see folks walking around with those skinny jeans and pumps which is so foreign a concept to me. I also see people in shoes that do not match their outfits and since when do people wear hot pink or purple high heeled shoes? I know you are laughing at my ignorance. Anyways, I grab a couple of funky shoes some tiny jeans and head for the dressing room laughing already at the thought of what I'm going to look like. Let me tell you, I felt like an idiot. I happened to walk out of the dressing room to look at a better mirror and the door shut behind me and locked. I was horrified at the thought of having to walk out of the dressing room in these pants that I look like I've been poured into. I had to go get the girl to unlock it and I ask her "are you supposed to look like you've been poured into these things?" She's like,"they look great on you...I can't wear them, but you pull them off." Lady...ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I ended up buying everything and bringing it home so my dear hubbie could help me out. He just laughs and says he knows nothing about fashion. I sure wish I could go shopping with someone who knows what's up as far as fashion goes. I think I'm going to end up sticking to what I know, so I don't come off as self concious. I'm a classic girl. I like the mature sophisticated look, that is when I'm not in my jeans, you know the normal flare kind, and my sweaters. If you've got any advice and want to go shopping or you just want to come along and laugh at me, you just let me know!

You crack me up! I'm not a fashionable adventurous one either. I say, definitely stick with something you are comfortable in.
I'm not doing the pageant this year. I have little to zero energy. I hate being pregnant! I'm enjoying learning from your pageant experience and hope you'll be doing it next year too!
You are so cute! I love fashion but you would never know by my cloths! Some day. I always love your outfits at church and tell Stephen someday I will have cute cloths like you. I would say wear something that you feel beautiful in even if its not the latest terend, we always look better when we feel confident about our self. You can also wear skinny jeans with some funky flats too.
Lindsay girl let's have a girls day out! I would love to hit the mall with you! I look for any reason to do a little shopping. And yes you are so accepted into the tribe, we need to talk about that some more! We have been out of town the last couple weekends and Lucy has been pretty sick so I have been out of the loop. So excited to hear about the pageant. And let's plan a day to go to the mall- so serious about that. Oh and don't know if you heard or not, but christina is having the stay at home moms over tomorrow from about ten til noonish. Just an opportunity for us to get out of the house and get to know each other better.. Kids are invited. Hope you plan on coming!
HeHe! You make me laugh! I have put the skinny jeans on but can't bring myself to buy them! I feel like they are painted on me! Just a little too tight for me. But I might someday cave in, just to say I did!!!
I don't want to come along to laugh at you, I want to come along so I can get the fashion advice too :o) I have been contemplating the skinny jeans tucked into boots - that one is so "80's" to me that I just can't bring myself to do it yet either. At least we can admit that we are in the full-fledged "mom" stage and no longer cute fashionable teenagers!
