I still wear scrunchies
I have, for as long as I can remember, wanted to be fashionable, stylish, wear the 'cool' clothes. I have, for as long as I can remember, been the exact opposite of this. Oh, I come around to whatever the 'cool' kids are wearing, but long after it is cool. I think that some people simply have this gift for picking out clothes. Like my husband's cousin Holly, although I think she would look stylish wearing a mumu with purple socks. You know how some people just have 'it'. I don't, I want it, but I don't. Oh, I have my moments. Like when I went shopping at Forever 21 and let a 16year old pick out an outfit I would wear to Chicago. Boy, was I hot...and looked like a 34 woman trying too hard :-) The woman who I made fun of when I was in my early 20s. So, with kids, my style, or lack-there-of, much to my dismay has actually gotten worse. I still care, but don't have the energy to do anything about it. I have become the SAHM that wears sweatsuits everywhere. This is part of the reason I so enjoy my PT job, I have a reason to dress up. My 3 and 1 year old don't care what I look like. Or do they??? Maybe that is why Owen runs off when I call him!! (haha). I hit a new low though on Friday. It was beautiful outside, and the boys and I wanted to go play. So, I quickly threw on the GREEN sweatsuit, and ran a brush threw my hair...thought, 'hmmm, haven't showered for 3 days, so I better put my hair up, so I will look civilized.' Couldn't find a normal hairband, so I grabbed a scrunchy. Without giving it a second thought, I hit rock bottom. I take the boys to the same playground that every-other-kid in the city of St. Louis went to. Not one single woman has a scrunchy in her hair. I think, 'maybe everyone will see me and think I AM the cool one and start wearing scrunchies in their hair'. So, just for grins, and because I have nothing else better to do with my time, I googled "Scrunchy". And guessssss what...Caterine Zeta-Jones was recently spotted wearing one. Hmmm, could it be...am I on the fringe of a new wave of fashion? I am pretty sure that CZJ did not go out with said scunchie whilst wearing a green sweatsuite and unshowered for 3 days....but, maybe that will come in fashion too....hmmmmm
