i used to think i was fashionable...

then i grew up and learned the following:
the tooth fairy was actually my mother.
bills come in all shapes and sizes and often.
and i'm fashionably inept.

enter bff’s

Christine -  is an accessory goddess. how does she always choose the right necklace or earrings? she is so hip, hip, hip. she even made bald look good.

Nancy -  is haute and cutting-edge. i daydream about raiding her closet and stealing all she's got (then i have a follow-up dream that i fit into those clothes).

Jane -  has an unfailing formula for easy elegant and manages to make everything look audrey hepburnish

Lynne -  is amazing. she manages to make clothes look as they were intended. how could anyone look that put together with that many kids?  

Patti - she is always so current an ever evolving style that i can't hope to emulate let alone predict.

My (much younger friend Alice) now she is a total  fashionesta

Me - I want to be stylish and comfy, and age appropriate - it’s an on going battle. it’s a lot of work. it’s the reason i run late for work half the time. i guess that’s why i spend so much time shopping. i could spend less time shopping if i could just buy all jcrew has to offer. but, i can’t spend $98 per shirt…. well i mean i could, i just couldn’t pay my mortgage.

thank goodness i have a slew of hip bff’s to feed off of.

well i'm off ,  to find the new spectacular jcrewish  t-shirts lynne found today at marshalls.

love you guys…..
