I realized yet again that I am indeed an opinionated person- especially when it comes to style or lack there of... I attended a great Nordstrom fashion event last night. Great escape from the family, and I do enjoy seeing what they think I should be wearing. But why should I listen to what a sales person thinks that I should wear- I am happy wearing my black and grey, my unflattering cropped wide leg pants- with flats. That's just me. Please no too tight, turqouise tops, trying too hard to be sexy Mom outfits for me- I look awful in bright colors... I do not care if leather is in, I am not wearing a leather jacket over a sequined tank, unless I have a guest role in the Sopranos. Betsy Johnson dresses on post baby bodies scare me. (I did wear those when I was in my 20's living in S.F. ) The one item I did love was of course ,from Marc Jacobs. A bit too pricey for me- maybe Anthropologie will have something similar on their sale rack.
I survived my kids first day at school, and so did they. I made the mistake of wearing new shoes to walk my daughter to school- blisters. I have spent the last week back to school shopping. I have found all kinds of fun things for my daughter at boutiques, Nordstrom, Gap and Target. This outfit is one of my favorites. All from the Target Fall 2006 collection. Tomorrow I head to SF to see what I can find at ZARA for the kids.
I love vacation-- but have been having Anthropolgie withdrawls. There have not been any Anthropologie stores anywhere on this vacation. I usually search through those sale racks twice a week before school pick ups. Many of the items I saw in Paris made me think, "I can find that at Anthropologie...". Love that store. Of course there is always the risk of buying something that is meant for women that are younger and hipper than I. Oh well, thats a chance I will take. I had to take a virtual visit to my favorite store...and there I found this great fall coat. Only a few more days until I can try it on in person. (Husband, are you in panic mode now - maybe you should not read my VOX. )
