It seems I'm wearing a lot of orange lately. Hmm... I'm okay with that. Okay, you're thinking, two outfits? That's not a lot. But what you don't know is I wore orange the other night too. Yes. It's orange mania. There is just something about the colour orange. It makes me happy. HAPPY. Also, barely anyone wears orange; so it stands out. And I like to. Stand out, that is.
I bought this dress at Value Village. It was right after my sister-in-law went to H&M in Vancouver and I was so jealous (alas, there is no H&M in my town). But LO! And BEHOLD! I found an H&M dress at V.V. And for only 8 dollars! Beat that sister-in-law! (I actually really like my sister-in-law, she's absolutly fantastic and has awesome style!).
Today I went to the park with a girlfriend and the babies swung on the swings (you can actually put them in those little swings from a pretty young age). They really enjoyed themselves. Also my son crawled about like the little monster he is. At one point I introduced him (and myself) to a little baby girl and her mommy. Well, while the two were getting acquainted and I was exclaiming how great of her daughter to play with the little rocks and NOT eat them, well, my son ATE a rock. Yep. We tried to get it out; but it wasn't happening.
I think he was saying: "Look cute baby girl. You're supposed to eat these. Look how cool I am. I'll show you. YUM!" Yep. He was showing off. Note: the little baby girl then attempted to eat rocks herself. So this I know, my son is already: a ladies man, a show off, and a bad influence.
Oh, I love-uval him to itsybits!
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, a lady at the park said this to me: "You are the most fashion forward mother I have ever seen at Beban Park." And at first I was thinking I should mention how I was only wearing a dress because I didn't want to get dressed twice today (I'm all fancy for my stepdad's 50th tonight); and then I remembered how you are just supposed to accept compliments and so I said: "Thanks!" I also had a slight desire to mention my fashion blog...but I didn't. I really am quite chatty and will talk at great length to perfect strangers; but I'm attempting to reform.
