My little dude looks better than me this morning so I decided to revolve this
Fashion Friday post around him a bit. Since fate gave this mother a second little boy, I've decided that spending a little more of my monies on "cuter" boy clothes is now somehow more acceptable. I know these threads will one day be handed down to Mateo so I can spend a little more. I still plan to shop consignment, but it gets harder to find good stuff as your "baby" morphs into a toddler and then, gasp! A kid...

Rockin' the skinnies better than his mama! |
Spending was temporarily on hold for me as I tried to pay off debt from our house remodel, and we started spending on our vacation trip. Then I got this little doosey in the mail, and I CRACKED!
I had been so good at resisting an urge to shop, and then a letter like this comes along telling me that I'm even more in the hole than I thought! This might sound counter-intuitive but since I was already in the hole, and since the installment plan (lasting 4 months) doesn't start until next month, I decided to just give into my shopping urge now before things get even worse.
So off to
Mommy Disneyland Nordstrom Rack I went, and came back home with these threads.

Most of these clothes I found in the clearance section but a few things (like the shoes and pants) were worth spending a bit more money on. I debated on the white shirt because it wasn't his usual style, but then I thought: That's the point! Plus it helped that "28" is my birthday number. I considered it a sign. Ps. Diego is really into Dino Dan on Nick Jr. He watches it over and over On Demand, and I need to explain to him that there are other cool shows out there! |

Walking into the store my goal was to buy myself accessories only (thrift first for clothes), and I failed when I saw this Vince Camuto dress. It screamed "Take me home!" So I did.. Maybe next Friday I'll have pics of me actually wearing it. |
Wish me luck for the next few months while I'm poorer than usual! Yikes! - Shirley
