Last night I got to enjoy a girls night out with two of my fun friends. I don’t get to see either of them as often as I wish I could, but when we get together it’s like no time has passed. As usual, I got super excited about leaving my house, and couldn’t wait to get dressed up. It really doesn’t take much after two kids. Sad, I know.
Anyway, I busted out my new Target shoes ($30!) which made me drool a little when I tried them on, and a cute tunic I’ve been stowing away for about 6 months. What I was waiting for I don’t know. But, all it took was a night out with the girls and I quickly ripped the tags off this little number.
The final result?
Ummm….so maybe you can tell with the last couple of pictures that I was a little grumpy. I was running late and I was hungry. I hate being late, and I really hate being hungry. And I especially hate when the two are combined. I love how Jimmy was able to capture my mood when I wasn’t ready. He thought it was Hi-Larious that he captured the real grumpy me in all my glory.
Anyway, dress is Twelve by Twelve, Jeans are Sevens, Shoes are Mossimo, Necklaces are Forever 21, and the little mom necklace…etsy. My poses, as always are too unique for words. Or labels. Or even to put a price on. They’re quite priceless actually.
On another note….my writing partner and I just finished another article. You should check it out…I’m sure at least one of you can relate.
Okay, this weekend I plan on doing my best to finish organizing the mess of my apartment (which I love. Upstairs neighbors…not so much). I hope to take pictures so I can show you the progress. I still have unfinished projects, but I know you’re dying, just dying, to see how it’s coming along.
And as you know, I’m here to serve.
P.S.
I’m feeling uncomfortable with my Louboutin shoes. They are just soooo expensive. I have never owned anything that pricey before that didn’t have four wheels and drive me places. I mean, they are shoes for goodness sakes!!! But they were a gift from Jimmy and he was so excited to get me something nice that he knew I would never purchase for myself. But, I can’t help but think of all the things we could get for the price of one pair of shoes. Only, every time I mention returning them, his face gets downcast and he mutters about how hard it is to get me nice things.
A good wife would suck it up and keep the nice shoes right? Because, I don’t want to discourage him from doing thoughtful things….
Right?
So, I’m keeping them and not feeling guilty.
Right?
And yes, all of that was a P.S.
P.P.S.
I’m thinking of making a few edits to my blog…you know, to make it look more clean…more professional. Any ideas or suggestions??

1) Love that outfit.
2) I would probably be scared to walk in them b/c they’re so nice! I once received a Gucci bag from an exboyfriend and didn’t use it for 4 months… too scared!
3) I think a huge picture of your face as the background would be kind of awesome. Or maybe tiles of your different poses. You’ll thank me for this input. OH, you’ll thank me.
KEEP THE SHOES!
Keep the shoes damn it!!!!!! You only live once!
That outfit is great. I’m so copying it. Lol! And those shoes are awesome. I’m going to Target today.

i’m so jealous you had a girls night out. i guess i need to make some friends first in order to have a girls night out. all my friends live far away. my blogs are my friends. i know that’s sad. i love to get all dolled up too. i wore a dress for Mother’s Day for a graduation. the last time i wore a dress before that was for a wedding in October. yes, even sadder. you should definitely keep the shoes, but i understand your guilt. i call it SAHM’s guilt. that is why i don’t buy anything for myself and i have convinced hubby to do the same. i think your blog is stunning and i wouldn’t change a thing. take care.

Wow! Suprermodel Mommy! Love the outfit. I love the shoes too. I have shoes envy. If I wear anything with a heel over an inch in height,I’m at the Chiropractor for a week!
The entire outfit is super cut! Love it! enjoy the shoes, they are awesome!
You look gorgeous! Which Sevens are those? I WANT THEM! The shoes you’re wearing – those are from Target? No way. Really?
As for the shoes your hubby bought you – KEEP THEM! Do NOT feel guilty!
cuuuuuute! I love the chains and the shoes!! ….Happy Friday!
Stopping by from SITS. love the outfit.
LOVE the outfit! Forever 21/Twelve by Twelve is one of my favorite places ever! The Target shoes are great. I havent checked their shoe aisle in a while, may have to do that now.
As far as the Louboutin’s, I would be SCARED TO DEATH someone would step on my toe and I would go to jail because I had to kill them for scuffing up my new designer shoes!
Awww… you’re even stylish when you’re grumpy! And every time you post a Fashion Friday I have to clean drool off my keyboard because your necklaces are so freaking awesome. Sigh.
Keep the shoes! Really, I wouldn’t keep the shoes, but they were a GIFT, and if you take them back I think you’ll really hurt your hubby’s feelings. You must keep them. And be excited about them. Like, so excited that you wear them around the house while vacuuming. Got it?
You look totally chic in your outfit!
I would NOT feel guilty about the shoes. Life is too short to feel guilty about something you like. Just ENJOY them!
Your blog is very well coordinated. I can’t imagine what you would change, but I’m sure it would turn out just fine!
Enjoy your weekend!
Gotta say….I bought myself a REALLY expensive pair of shoes last year when I was in Milan. I actually didn’t choke when I gave my credit card to the cashier…but when I’ve worn them, I feel amazing. The complements alone on the shoes are great….I love your Target shoes, but the others will get you some amazing complements that will just make you feel that they are definitely worthwhile to keep! Plus, you just tell yourself you will wear them forever because you must get your/your hubby’s money worth out of them….at least that’s what I keep telling myself!
Still hot even when grumpy mama! Love the jeans and the chains, and the shoes of course. We have trained ourselves to feel guilty about big purchases, especially when they are for ourselves. Gasp! Why would we spend so much on ourselves, there are children in this house dang it! You deserve it! You deserve the shoes. You are doing the hardest job in the world, and Im thinking its ok to accept shoes as some form of payment. In fact, Id demand a good bag to go with them
you looks so hip!!
Re: the shoes….the beautiful, amazing, stunning, fabulous shoes…..
I want to suggest you read a post a friend recently wrote when her hubby spoiled her: Diapers and Stilettos
I just have to say that I love the outfit. I totally want one like that and those shoes, don’t even get me started!
You are just so cute. I would totally love to go shoppping with you some time.
And I know the shoes are expensive but they were a gift so you should just suck it up and keep them.
Allow me to help.
Mail me the shoes…I’ll take care of it. No need to go on feeling guilty and such.
If this were my blog I PERSONALLY do not care for the three column look. But your blog is already pretty clean…I’m going to try to cut our a lot of the stuff on my sidebar…maybe have a tab to go to my blog roll instead of displaying a list of a trillion blogs….things like that.
First off, you are such a fashion model and your poses are quite priceless, and I’m really mad about those shoes because I just bought some that look the SAME for way more than $30 (not to mention that I cannot wear heels yet b/c of my knee so they will be out of style by the time I can).
Second, we are totally waiting with bated breath to see the new place. And third, keep the shoes. Did you show the shoes on the blog? If not…its time. If so, I have to go back and see what I missed.
Keep the shoes for real. He wanted to do it. And I love those Target shoes. I featured them in a brown a while back. Great outfit!
That’s really funny; I thought, “Wow. Her pants are so short! What’s up with that?!” But then I saw the full-length shot and realized you were holding them up to show the shoes. Thank God, cuz it was killing me, not telling you. heehee
