  • Yes. It's True. Moms Like to Dress Up, Too

    I realize that motherhood and six-inch spike heels don't exactly mix, but I also don’t think that motherhood should mean retiring one's (usually impractical) shoe collection (Yes, I'm on a shoe kick right now.)

     

    So when I fall in love with a pair of heels, even if I have nowhere to "wear" them, I buy them. Even if it means sacrificing comfort for something sexy. Okay, okay. I'm a mom. I know. I should be practical and rock sweatpants and baggy jeans. Or at least that's the assumption, right? I should be wearing flats and sneakers every day of my life. Because seriously, who wears heels out to a play date? Or to the playground? Or to Mommy and Me class?

     

    I do.

     

    Yup.

     

    I know.  Call me c-c-c-craaaaaazy.  Because sometimes I like to get dolled up with nowhere to go. Seriously guys, I'm a work at home mother. Where am I going? Errands? Play dates? The occasional stroll around the city? Pulease. Bachelorette parties aside, there is no dress code for me these days. And that sucks. So I have made up my own. And sometimes, that means wearing the highest heels I can pull off. Or the tightest jeans. Or the shortest skirt. Yup. Sometimes I whore it up on the blvd. And I'M A MOTHER!

     

    Ack!
