To each her own, but I personally LOVE your style.

I have been a mom that rarely puts on make-up and wears sweats everyday and I have been a mom that tries to make an effort to look put together (most of the time). Neither changed how good of a mom I was except for the fact that my self esteem was better when I made an effort to look nice.

Weird. <br /><br />Well, someone mentioned in the "lost" comment that I don't get outside in the winter because my hair is darker (which I did say in this post), and while I am outside LESS in the winter, I still go out everyday...for instance, in this very post, I mention walking home from subbing at school! So let's see--2 miles walking home times twice last week, that equals 4 miles in the sunshine, plus any additional time outside, hmm, that puts me at least 4 or 5 hours outside last week alone. I may wear fussy clothing, but I don't really stress too much if it gets damaged. My darling dry cleaner is the sweetest lady and always finds some way of fixing any stains. :) She gets to work on them all the time...I remember cake getting all over the silk tiered cami at an outdoor barbeque last summer!!! What a mess...but it is all better now! <br /><br />I definitely am outside for at least twice to three times that amount in the summer, in fact I have to be very careful with my skin tone, etc., so I don't end up with skin cancer. <br /><br />Anyhow...I really appreciate all viewpoints, and I really mean it when I say if you enjoy something or some way of living, then AWESOME!!! Seriously. I know though (and this makes me kind of sad) that no matter what I say or do or how nice I try to be, it just won't work for some people. But I can say I tried!!! :)<br /><br />Have a nice night, all, everyone...in sweats, heels, silk, cotton, nothing (heehee)...dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-20842201464861392512010-03-01T23:43:48.068-05:002010-03-01T23:43:48.068-05:00Going to bed soon, ladies!!!

So not bragging--just telling it like it is! Very happy and surprised to see lots of ladies wearing casual clothes. <br /><br />I never once said I was a better mom as some have mentioned. Where in the hell did you get that from?<br /><br />All I said was that I am happy to be in an area where moms are free to dress comfortably and confidently in sweats and no makeup. I Dina wants to wear her good JCrew and do her mommy things good for you. <br /><br />No way could I paint and glue and play outside (Dina said she doesn't go outside in the winter with her hair comment) and I do with my kids daily.<br /><br />Wear a silk cami and dry clean only sweater. No thanks.
