I Just Had to Stop

Stop browsing. Stop researching. Stop Googling. Stop..thinking I need to be something I'm not?

As I've said before, this whole thing is SO new me. I thought at first that perhaps this was going to be a (gasp) Fashion Blog. But not in that Super Cool Trendy New York/European Way. Just a Mom trying to make her way-hopefully stylishly- through Life while having some fun in the Process. 

And then..well, and then I started looking at All The Really Awesome Cool LeGIT Fashion Blogs. Oh my. The clothes. The Picture Quality. The POSES! The Locations (Ummm architectural pillars, tree-lined-empty-streets, brick walls...alot of brick walls...where ARE these places?)

And then I had a moment (or twelve) in which I just told myself "That's it. That is just not gonna happen. Why am I even trying this?!"

And then I realized, because it is fun. Because I love being a Mom and I love Fashion and I SO love learning to meld the two together!

I may not ever get the poses, or the lighting, or the weirdly wonderful locations. But I will learn to grow into this...into Myself. 

And until I figure it out, (and learn all the Secret Tricks of Gimp because I have neither Photoshop NOR a smart phone-yes such a person exists)...this is what I get: 
(OOoooooh looky here, only ONE toe is pointed in...
Oh yeah, I'm getting cutting edge now! *sha-ZAM*)

Here is my take on the "Boyfriend Jean" and slightly baggy sweater and of course, my Red Shoe. (Yes, that IS a mint tank under my sweater. I seem to remember loving this post and thought it could work through Spring. 

Full Disclosure: These aren't "officially" boyfriend jeans. I'm not even sure what they are. Ok, they are Gap. But they are kind of baggy and so I figured "Hey, Cuff=Insta-Boyfriend Jean"...right?

So until next time, Lots of Love!
