Fall Fashion 2010...

Yep, this is going to be short... REALLY short, but I've got to get downtown to the court house and try to squeeze some blood out of a turnip...

I love when you look up fall fashion 2010 and get this: sheer is in, underwear as outer wear, leather clothing is IN and cut-out clothing, then add in some velvet and military style and you've got me all worked up.  Isn't there a site out there for "Hey, I'm 40 (ok, 41) and I am a mom who wants to look hot, but not Pam Anderson hot, and not psycho like "leather cut-out" psycho....".  Throw a mom a bone, what the heck am I suppose to wear this winter?  I do want to share one trend that this northern-cold-hater is THRILLED about... SOCKS with heels and Knee socks with boots!!  

My feet are cold people- ALWAYS cold!  You will only see me barefoot when the temps rock 80+!

I believe this trend started last winter because you might remember, 

I gave it a go...

Any fantabulous fall fashion trends for those of you over 23?

Anything a MUST for your closet or have you just given up and are still sporting your velvet JLo jogging suit?

Speaking of velvet jogging suit...Tonight is my 1st running club run...

I'm nervous, I'll report back tomorrow if I don't end up at the ER, but if I do end up in the ER I'll be sure to take photos!!

Happy Monday and go put your socks on!!!!

and don't forget...

 BABY/KID HAT DRIVE

As most of you know, my daughter was adopted from China and I left a little piece of my heart there.  I'm collecting hats to keep the children and babies warm in the winter.  Many live in orphanages that are without heat.

1. make a baby hat, toddler hat, or kid sized hat 

(you can take the non-crafty way out and buy one if you must)

2. Send to:
