Fashionista: First Attempt

I need to light a fire under my rear and start dressing better.  More hip.  More fashionable.  I have quite a few outfits that I (think) are stylish, but I rarely wear them.  It's so much easier to throw on sweat pants and t-shirts, or jeans if I'm dressing up (ha)!  Most times I don't see the point of wearing a cute outfit on the days when I stay home with Ava.  No one sees me.  More laundry is created.  My clothes get covered in baby food and drool.  I have noticed that I feel better when I'm "put together."  So I've decided to take pictures of what I'm wearing, and share them with you!

For the first installment of "Insert funny name about outfit posts here, to be determined later" I will show you a dress I bought yesterday.  I have been working more hours at work lately so I wanted to treat myself.  I spotted a cute little kimono dress in last Sunday's ad.  Check it out:

Ava loves shoes too!

Dress:  Target, on sale for $15

Cardigan:  Kohl's, on clearance for $3 (I rock)

Necklace:  Christmas present from Leah

White layering tank:  free!  Actually, it's a square of toilet paper.  Wouldn't really wear it in real life but it's funny, right?

Shoes:  Payless.  Bought them years ago but can't imagine I paid more than $15 for them.

Mike was my photographer.  I kept trying to do all these model poses and he kept saying "Why aren't you looking at the camera.  What are you looking at?"  Duh, Mike.  It's called modeling for a reason.  At first I tried to keep Ava out of the pics, but then I realized that when you see me in the this outfit - she'll be there too.  So it just seemed appropriate.

 

Can this Momma make a fashion comeback?  What do you think?
