Since I have become a mom I have had to leave fashion behind. I try to keep up with some trends but it is hard when you no longer have a disposable income or disposable time. I don't have the time to shower let alone dry and iron my hair (which takes at least 45 minutes btw). There are so many "in" things that I would like to have or try but instead I have the mom version of "in".
In:
Posh Spice angled hair cut
Mom Version:
ponytail

Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Roxbury Drive purse

Waterproof diaper bag

Any bra that can list your boobs back to where they should be

Big designer sunglasses
Mom Version:
Anything that covers up the fact you just left the house with no makeup

Staying up all night partying
Mom Version:
Staying up all night with a sick baby
In:
A size smaller than what you already are
Mom Version:
Anything less than what you weighed when you were pregnant, is a small victory!

I'm linking to this. Very true. I'm totally "Mom-In"
ReplyDeleteThis is definately a thing to share! You are sooooooo right! I'm linking you!
ReplyDeleteGod, if this is in; then I surely are the most popular girl in town. I always wanted to be in the in crowd, just didn't think it would take sick baby poop to get me there.
ReplyDeleteI have about 4 pair of big sunglesses around the house, car, purse. It doesn't matter that my kids are older, they still wake at night on occasion.
ReplyDeleteI think I at least qualify for 3/4 of what you have listed here so I guess that puts me in very good company.
ReplyDeleteOMG I have totally been carrying around a waterproof diaper bag as a purse for the last three weeks.
ReplyDeletePreach it girl!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFuck a trend. Tuesday Girl blazes her own trail.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I think I am just becoming undone...
ReplyDeleteI think at least I am NOT wearing MomJeans....
Somehow this video keeps me sane... in a sick kinda way...

ReplyDeleteOh so true. :)
ReplyDeleteSOOOOO TRUE!
ReplyDeleteWell if we can call it "Daddy-In" since I am a dad...what about:
ReplyDeleteIn - very low cut facial hair
Daddy in - uneven 3 day growth (shaving just does not make the priority list)
In - Being able to properly do Yoga poses
Daddy In - Being able to see feet while standing
In - Hanging out at a bar, shooting pool with buddies
Dady In - Standing at edge of pool paying lifeguard.
