Hey Mom, Did You Miss Fashion Week?

Every winter, fashionistas descend on NYC and strut the runway in clothes that fit well... On a hanger. Trends launch from the fashion editors’ desks, but what impact do these trends have on us, regular moms? I'm going out on a limb to say… absolutely nothing. I can’t lie though, it would be so incredible to walk into my office in a dress by Dior, hang up my Burberry coat and click across the floor in my Louboutins. I would love to have a bi-weekly blow out and never question the expiration date on the mascara I find in the bottom of my under-used makeup bag. Alas, I'm a working Mom. I sit here typing in jeans, boots bought in the kid's department (yay me –size 6), my husband’s Hanes T-shirt, and a 5-year-old sweater that has seen better days. It's my uniform and I’m comfortable. Isn’t that the point? I love being comfortable. I couldn't wear a dress every day. While I admire the woman who invented Spanx, we must consider that she may be the devil in disguise. When I passed along the "just be comfortable" gene to my daughter Ava, perhaps I went a bit overboard – jeans, flannel shirts and Uggs every day. When it comes time to dress up, it becomes a bargaining session worthy of Congress. Attendance at a recent family party took epic negotiating skills to get her to wear a dress and have her hair done. I won, she did wear a dress (blue – her choice) and her hair was styled. But the "updo" I requested didn't happen. Life is a compromise, right?
