She works for State Farm and had to be in Atlanta today from 8-12ish so she invited us to go with her, since she'd have a free hotel and all. So yesterday we left around lunch time and headed to where else but Atlantic Station (read: H&M) where I cleaned out their entire stock of big dangly earrings as well as bought a dirt cheap pair of faux-designer skinny jeans that will hopefully last me a good while. I seriously have not shopped for clothes since before I got pregnant (excluding maternity stuff - does that really count?) and I had a few extra bucks from working 3 days last week, so I rewarded myself. I have begun to love big dangly earrings. I think it is because I know that they are "in style" and so when I dress horribly (like I do 99% of the time) but have on big dangly earrings, I can justify my ungodly outfit. I have begged Chad to nominate me for "What Not to Wear." Begged. I think I am the perfect candidate. Need proof? Well too bad. I'm too ashamed. But let's just say that all too often I am sporting the old navy yoga pants, the spaghetti tank and a plastic Wal-Mart headband. But you better believe I got my dangly earrings in and they are STYLIN. I like the earrings because you can make a t-shirt and skinny jeans look not-so-slouchy and a little more cutesie. (OH, and by skinny jeans I mean the jeans that hug your ankles, not the jeans that are for skinny people, because UMMMM... NOT me.) Another thing that I'm pretty sure is in style is big huge purses. Do any of you moms carry a big huge purse? I'm just wondering because, if you do, how do you carry your diaper bag too? Or do you just put all your "purse stuff" into your diaper bag? Or vice versa? After I had Mary Ella, I began only carrying a diaper bag. For a while, I just shoved my huge wallet, my cell phone, and my keys down into the diaper bag. Then I got a Vera Bradley wristlet, which solved that problem, because it could hold all of the aforementioned items. And because it could hold all of my necessary items, it made me think: What in the world did I actually put in my purse? And why did I burn all those extra calories by carrying around all that stuff when all I really needed was my debit card, my cell phone and my keys? So anyway, just curious about the purse thing. Because I want to be in style and I need to know how all you cool moms do it. (Ahem, Amanda.) Ok, enough about my obliviousness to how to look like someone on The Hills. After we left H&M, we couldn't afford any dinner (ha, just kidding, but we did eat at Quiznos). We took our subs back to our hotel and watched the last hour of the Bachelorette: Men Tell All episode. What do you all think? Kiptyn? Ed? Reid? Personally, I liked Reid. But he is gone, and even though they are hinting at his return in the finale, I don't think she ends up with him. Oh well. Now, I will say that Jillian is one person that I have noticed is pretty "with it" when it comes to style. I like all the plaid button up shirts that she has worn; and the boots. I do not like the short dresses, but if I had her legs I would probably change my mind on that. My favorite thing about her is her hair. I want my hair to be exactly like hers. I like the color and the layers and the swoopy bang. I have to remind myself that she has wardrobe people and a stylist too. She probably doesn't look like that in real life (yeah right.) Obviously, I can't get my mind off fashion. Thank you, Courtney.  Anyway, we watched the show, talked, then went to bed. This morning we woke up and I drove Courtney to her meeting. Then Mary Ella and I went downtown to the Georgia Aquarium! We had a blast, even though it was a little hard to manage an infant and a camera at the same time. She LOVED the huge fish exhibits, though. She even made a new friend, Miss Molly, and they talked their baby jibberish while looking at all the fishies. Fun times. Oh, and Molly's mom had a Coach purse and a Louis Vuitton diaper bag. And they were filled to the brim. With what? I have no idea. I had a small [old and faded] Vera B purse which held my camera, keys, cell phone, cash, my ticket stub, 2 diapers and a travel pack of wipes. What else did I need that I didn't have? (Seriously, I am dying to know!) Dang you, fashion. And in the mean time, I need some creative fashion ideas of how I can look hip and cool. Granted, I WANT to be that Mommy that wakes up at 5am, has a powerhouse workout/yoga session, weighs in at 120 lbs, does her quiet time, then goes into her closet and picks out the perfectly in-style outfit and ROCKS it all day long, without getting a drop of spit-up or poop on her brand new jeans. But that just ain't reality, is it? Seriously! Give me some tips! What are your favorite items/stores/bargain deals?! What makes you mamas feel fashionable even though you are chasing around little cheerio-eating, coffee-table chewing (ha, Kristy) munchkins all day long? And speaking of creativity and design, how can someone look at creatures like this and NOT believe that we serve a MIGHTY GOD?! I was humbled today as I witnessed the originality and beauty of His designs. Amazing...    Mary Ella's favorite exhibit was the Piranha tank. Lovely. The only creature in the entire place that could EAT her if it so desired. 
Comments: I see now why you encouraged me to buy all three pairs of dangly earrings on Sunday....to offset my "ungodly attire." hmmm... Comments: HAAAAA! You are hiarious. No, I got you to buy the earrings to offset the fact that I was buying all that junk for my patio! Let's just nominate each other and we'll see what happens... Comments: Ha! This post was awesome! I suck at fashion so I am no help there. I dress like I'm 40 and I've had the same purses for 2 years. I switch from brown to black to spice things up a bit. I look silly in big dangly earrings because I have a tiny head. I can't pull off the trendy jeans either. Basically, I'm lucky I already got married. Comments: yeah- no help about fashion from me. i am the one that got you the grandma moo moo and the american flag before mary ella was born, remember? and also, didn't you want your hair to be just like moana back in the day on the bachelor??? HAHAHA! hilarious! Comments: Forget What Not to Wear-- go for the bachelorette! Oh wait. Maybe not. Or maybe just court their hairsytlists. :) Comments: GUEST BLOG FROM NANA JOAN!!! Oh, how awesome that would be! Yes, your mom is the epitome of what I am talking about here... style DIVA. Jackie O. I need some of whatever she is taking. :) Comments: ok,so I really hope that this afternoon works out because we have much to discuss =) but no pressure if you can't because we'll just schedule some other time soon. Comments: Well, after I wake up at 5:30, do my yoga, run my 3, and break my fast, I style it up with... huh? Seriously, the only thing that keeps me going is my coach wristlet and my intermittent accessories... Who has money to spend keeping us mommas in style when really any time i go shopping, I spend it all on Addison's little fashionista self... HA!
