I did not like how this dress looked one bit, but I was able to find two belts, one dark blue the other was a wrap for a purple silk dress my grandmother gave my mother and so on..

I put the silk wrap underneath the belt and it gave the perfect illusion like it was just meant to be.

Mom's don't always have to look and dress a certain way

In Texas it seems to be a trend that once you have kids you -let go.

this outfit was in 2008, reason for the out-of-style booties. but at the time... it worked.

I run track and I never had to buy spandex, I always had a pair..

the season of the "tights" was easy for me because I had so many to choose from.
