It’s barely 30 degrees in Chicago, my really cute, new, faux-leather Rafe purse from Target (to the right- also makes for a great baby bag) froze on the way to work, and what did I hear? The fashion world is talking spring. This means I need to evaluate what I’m going to purchase in the coming months with the little excess income I have. AND I have to make the trends work for home and for the office.Â
I did a little reading about what I should buy.  Here’s why I’m not listening:
A clear handbag: there are some things that should just stay hidden. Like the diaper you accidentally forgot to take out of your purse when you went to work.
Neon: being fashionable does not mean matching the walls of your son’s gym class.
An animal print top: I don’t want to look like Meester Liger (my son’s blankie to the right). More on Meester Liger soon.
Mini dresses: this is laughable just won’t work with “mommy” hips.
Instead, I think I will invest in the following:
A white handbag: because white is almost clear and I can keep hiding
my things from you. Na na na poo poo!
Eyelet flats: comfy and chic for the office or a play date.
A flow-y shirt: will hide the muffin top fabulously. (Please excuse the gorgeous model.)
Happy shopping!

“Mommy hips?” Are you kidding?
Nice round-up of spring trends. Do real people wear neon? Cornea transplants are soon to rise.
