Hey, baby, what are you wearing? *edited*
I noticed something while in Seattle last weekend. There is a huge, but subtle difference in what people wear. I didn’t realize that I was still hip. Even though Portland and Seattle are relatively close if you compare SC or Maryland, say, to here, there are still some very important differences between the landscape, the people, the traffic, the cost of living and what people wear.

Hey now, What are you trying to say about Maryland! Thats where I live missy, and I am a hip mama if I must say so myself. Did you check out mamac-ta’s blog? That’s one hip mama too!:0) Don’t forget we’re only 3 hours south of New York city! The Fashion capital of the U.S:0) So BRING IT GIRL! Just kidding, but we are hip!-KELLI
Hey.. I wasn’t saying anything BAD about maryland! Very much the opposit (my good bloggy friend Erin lives there)
Nah.. I was just saying that it’s DIFFERENT there is all. But SHHESH, Kelli! Damn, woman, you’re TOUGH! HEH. 
OH, yea.. Maryland has a very high concentration of cool people! Raise your hand if you’re from Maryland..
See? That’s what I thought. Y’all are COOL!
I was totally kidding! I hope I didn’t sound like some freak!:0)-KELLI
Oh man! I just noticed that I’m no longer on your comment leaders board….so, I’m trying to catch up. I’m wearing a khaki skirt (which I got compliments on today from the 20-something girls at work) with a black belt and a black t-shirt. Wish I could say that I’m always this hip. It’s not so bad being all ‘97. I’m all ‘87! How uncool is that?
hmmm. today was harsh, i got a 5 minute shower before loading both chilluns into the car to meet Daddy for a crappy lunch at CHIPOTLE. urgh. jean shorts and a tye-dyed pink camisole. I have cleavage until Emma is done nursing (when my bosoms go the way of the do-do bird) and I’m damn sure going to show it. Oh yeah, and I have the ugliest pair of KEEN sandals ever. I used to wear tevas until I found these guys because keens have the rubber toe protector. rubber toes save lives, man. throw in my oldassed black leather backpack purse and that is me in a snapshot.
Kelli, I knew you were kidding. So was I.
It’s all in fun, chicka.
MamaC-Ta, no need to be SHY! Holy Moley, I totally opened up here.
Jan, YEY for khaki and black! A staple of mine. LOVE the look.
Anne, dude, I LOVE my backpack purse. It’s an REI black canvas thing (not “hip” but outdoorsy hip). Yea, we rock!
LOL! I’m also not exactly a fashion-ista. My “uniform” is generally jeans. khakis or khaki shorts ...lately paired with a short sleeved polo shirt. In the cooler months, it’s a long-sleeved kinda fitted shirt… Old Navyeqsue. I wear the same damn thing every day. :\
Fashion and I are not friends, although I generally do better than today. I started off in a big ol’ pair of maternity overalls and a white tee with birks. Now I’m in terrycloth sweats and the white tee, sans birks. My most common outfit? Jeans and a tee. Although I enjoy cute crop slacks and big, loose, blousy shirts.
Yeah, I am, as my liscense plate says (corny, I know) plain jane. I am wearing: jeans (everyday, except to church) and an old navy polo. Love polos, love them. Shoes, well either flip flops or my birks. BOOOORRRRRIINNGGG.
OK, you Maryland people shop at cool sounding places. Aeropastale? Hu? and Mama-C-ta with Diesel? At least I’ve heard of TJ Maxx (a favorite) and Ross. Oh, and I know what Old Navy is. Whew.
As far as jeans and a tee-shirt… Very VERY me. Except right now when none of my jeans fit. Sadness. Apparently Polo shirts are cool. Jane AND Erin wear those. Nice change from the traditional Tee. Oh, and I’m VERY glad to hear birks are still OK. I haven’t worn mine since 1994. YEY BIRKS!
(Oh, and yes, sweats daily. I change into my “comfy clothes ASAP when I get home. If I actually leave the house. Rarely.)
If it doesn’t go with flip-flops, I don’t wear it. I am a flip-flopaholic. I love those Old Navy polos…so soft! My staple item is capri pants. I will be so sad if they ever go out of style again. Girl, you’d love Aeropostale: cute + cheap! (sorry for rambling)
Living north of Seattle, I admit fleece is still a requirement to living in the NW. I too am a khaki pant girl and LOVE Tevas all summer (yes, even with the fleece!) I do own a few polo shirts and capri pants (in khaki of course). I got a new skirt and shirt for Paige’s wedding and my husband said I looked “great…like a mom.” Gee,thanks—-just the look I was going for on my first evening away from the baby in MONTHS!
I am currently wearing this: http://www1.talbots.com/talbotsonline/item.asp?item=A21586&h=M&a=V&BID=S20051392250257C702B998209473CA7C3A7 The pants are a little different, but not by much. This is my standard liene of clothing.
There used to be this saying, dress well, test well. I lived by that. IF I dress well, I feel better, I feel fresh and clean and that people look at me with appreciation. I try to dress up for work and home. Now, when its time to go to bed? Tshirt and boxers. Can’t always be perfect!
I have no style. Sadly, I’m limited to one shop- Lane Bryant, which isn’t too terrible except they are expensive so I never buy new clothes till I *need* new clothes. Let this be a lesson to everyone, never become obese, shopping is no fun and very limited :(
What I usually wear- a nightgown, I don’t get out much, but now that I’m cleared for exercise I’m gonna get back into walking.
When I actually get/have to leave the house I usually wear black pants and a peasant blouse and my old lady mary janes. I had to get flat shoes when I first got pregnant with El because I have a hard time staying on my feet anyway, I needed my feet planted flat on the ground, I was afraid of falling and hurting the baby. I never got to buy new shoes because I got pregnant again so quickly… so as soon as I can I’m buying me some cute chunky heeled shoes!
Oh sure blame me! Haha just kidding. I am so uncool. I wear plain shirts and jeans mostly from Old Navy. Mostly because I am cheap and can shop at the outlet. Bring on the sweatpants and hoodies and I am in heaven!
At least you are wearing something other then sweats. Seriously I own like 3 pairs of jeans that fit and the rest is sweat pants and lounge pants. I love american Eagle. It is my all time favorite clothing store. They have extended sizes so I can even wear them now that I am huge fat ass. I try to be trendy, but I am too fat for that look most of the time.
As for what I am wearing right now a pair of sweatpants that are cut into capris they are from American Eagle I got them pre pregnancy. I am wearing a Lifeguard T-shirt I got when I was a lifeguard like 4 years ago. It says Salt Lake County Lifeguard, and on the back says “Bosko”. I am so kick ass, don’t be jealous now.
Ohh well its midnight, and yes I am up, and yes I am still in my day clothes..something is wrong with this picture. I am wearing a striped old navy tee covered with a dark pink half zip jacket also old navy, pants- they are greyish capri..uhhh let me check..also old navy. Can you guess what my wardrobe consists of? oh..and I had some pink and white nike flip flops when I left the house. My everyday wear? uh tshirts, capris (or my one pair of fav jeans) and flips in all colors. I have introduced myself to Aeropostale a few months ago, and slowly my entire closet is getting filled with it. Cheap, cute, and cheap.
I love it!
ROFL! We are all so fashion impaired! Except for RBelle who I vote should no longer be able to post here because her Talbot’s outfit is just way too damn cute.
The rest of you? We need to meet up at Old Navy and Aero for a shopping spree! I need more khakis and tees!
(I have plenty of polos right now because I am cool like that!) ::high fiving Jane:::
Has anyone else noticed how every store carries the polos now, but with something different embroidered on the chest? My Aero ones have a butterfly, my old navy ones have a whale and I have ones from somewhere else that have something too, but I can’t remember what…
I forgot to say what I am wearing tese days. Tight iow riders 2 sizes bigger than what they would be! Baby weight , don’t you love it? Some type of heel , skinny or platform sandals to add some height. Everyone always thinks I’m tall but really I’m only 5’6. I always have some type of heel on. Oh, I’m with Anne on the cleavage thing. Usually a tank top or something . Except they are starting to shrink now since Gianna weened herself. :0( I use to have to harness these tig ol bitties. But no more. Eventually I’ll bend over one day and they will look like those bags that the caramel comes in from Starbucks! Have you ever seen them?
ya, I forgot, I wear the polos too, but I go with the ones at Aero since they have a butterfly..hahaha
Yeah, the Old Navy maternity polos have a whale too… I think that’s a little cruel, no?
So love Old Navy, we do need to meet there! Didn’t know about these butterfly polos, need to go check them out! Woo-Hoo, LOVE butterflies!
Feeling left out since I am not a MD person, I live in PA, pretty close (Balitmore is like 2 hrs from me) Hmmm, we are going to Baltimore this summer, does that make me Maryland cool?????
I am wearing Navy blue Talbots slacks, navy slides, a red patterned button down tailored shirt, a college ring, a BUlova watch that is gold and silver and an engagement ring (platinum with diamon set between saphhires) and a wedding band (row of diamonds in paltinum)> I think my underwear and bra are really ugly.
Ahoot I have on a really cool necklace as well. I forgot that part
Like I said… too damn cool. You are hereby banned from this post, Rbelle.
What the hell is ahoot? and why did i say that?
Um, yea, Rbelle? You are SO at the cool people table in the cafateria. Mr. Flinger said I can’t buy Talbots but my Target version of your outfit is “good enough.”
Y’all, I love that you said “comfort over everything.” I just hung out with one of my new friends who is a little like Rbelle. She always looks great, has makeup on, is totally hip.
I realized when I got home (oh, wearing green capris and a brown long sleeve tee-shirt with coffee stains from today) that my hair is TOTALLY flat and I’ve been growing two zits. Damn it! Hook me up with the nerdy table now, whydon’tya. Eff it.
Rbelle, I hope you know we still love you… we just envy your cool clothes!
