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
