I got some pretty funny looks from the sweat wearing mom's at swim practice and my friends wanted to know if it was laundry day. I felt pretty, comfortable and ready to go out and find a few more to expand my wardrobe...oh and I got a great pair of jeans for $6.50 at Old Navy!!! Yeah me!!! Thanks for the inspiration and hope those kids of yours feel better and you get some sleep soon!!!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694144912580911218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-64877147817028361782009-05-27T22:46:19.105-04:002009-05-27T22:46:19.105-04:00While I am not a short shorts gal (thank the famil...While I am not a short shorts gal (thank the family thighs for that one), the rest of your staples are mine too. I do wear shorts around the house, for obvious things like exercising and gardening, and even to the playground with the kids in the hottest part of the summer, but I will only go out in public in "walking shorts" (knee length, tailored looking), and even then I'd rather be in a cute sundress or thin capri pants. I think it's mostly about finding the styles that suit your own body type, as well as age/style.<br /><br />I hope your eyes are feeling much better. I was on an antibiotic/steriod cocktail for my eyeballs for four weeks at the end of last year. I was in such pain because the infection was so bad that I actually ended up with corneal lacerations as a result. I wholeheartedly agree with your advice: take care of your eyes and yourself! I hope you are on the mend.MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-21750656449389818572009-05-27T22:26:19.083-04:002009-05-27T22:26:19.083-04:00Love your ideas.

But you have to get the right ones. I think the ones that I wear are tech. called crop pants. And Jeans, I so need to find the perfect jean. I haven't found it yet, so I am still looking. But I wouldn't have the first clue were to look to even try on the jeans. No botiques around here. But I would be willing to drive.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247443626425489882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-73909856965802378482009-05-27T22:16:02.080-04:002009-05-27T22:16:02.080-04:00I love the fashion advice! Very fun. Personally I ...I love the fashion advice! Very fun. Personally I don't like tank tops - well, the wife beater kind, anyway. They kinds show off every bump and muffin top. Not that I have more than one muffin top. One is more than enough, thankyouverymuch.<br /><br />I'd love to try some nicer jeans sometime. I think it has a lot to do with body type too. I'm shaped like a guy, so anything hourglass-shaped looks BAD on me. But, actually, shorts are good for me because I have decent legs.<br /><br />And, while I can't do stilettos, I don't think I've worn anything flat in at least 5 years. Even my flip-flops are the kind with the stacked heel!<br /><br />One last thing: personally I would nix the cocktail ring for a small but colorful clutch or purse. Just big enough for sunglasses, lip gloss, and cell phone.
