Some time ago, my friend Paige wrote a very helpful
blog about the stay-at-home mom fashion dilemma. Paige often has an uncanny knack for saying things exactly as they are, but you couldn't quite put them into words yourself. This is a big part of why her blog is great and you should read it. But I digress (plus I think all of my readers are already fans of Paige's blog). Anyway, when I read her excellent advice, I had to obey. I immediately started searching out Lucky hoodies online. I discovered a couple of disheartening facts: 1. the current dollar-peso exchange rate makes Lucky brand hoodies prohibitively expensive and 2. the only ones currently available either weren't as cute as Paige's, or didn't have a zipper (gasp! sweatshirts are NOT as comfortable/cute as hoodies).
So I had to expand a little upon her advice and came to the conclusion that she meant any cute hoodie would do. So I bought three.
1. The DC hoodies with 3/4 sleeves and cool big buttons and ruching around the neck.
2. The Old Navy sweater hoodie with cute little pockets
3. The O'Neil surf-girl hoodie in a fashionable chocolate brown with cool something stamped on it.
They don't have the cool hood lining of the lucky hoodies, but I am still very excited for fall to come so I can start wearing my new purchases, brought to me by
Marianne. I will next be trying out the
not-a-dickey and the Anastasia Brows in Bloom recommended by
Tammy. If I didn't pick my girlfriends based on appearance who would I turn to for fashion advice??

I slightly confused as to why I didn't get a mention in the fashion post?
Any fashion sense I may have is ALL from you. The hoodie was a lucky find. If I was a good friend I'd just send you mine. But I wear them every day. I"ll think about it.
Jessica's comment made me laugh out loud. She is cute but not so bossy, thus we don't have to obey.
Wonderful! I need to get mine in preparation for BP so that Paige can see my obedience (and Jessica, too!)
I am not allowed to buy any clothes until I lose the last 5 lbs. of baby weight - almost there!! Venezuela prides itself on betting at the cutting edge of high fashion, I'll let you know if that includes hoodies.
