Under the Weather
This week has been torturous…the kids and I have been battling a summer cold. One of the worst things about being a mom is being sick and having to take care of sick kids. As tempting as it was to just lounge around the house in pajamas all day long, I made us get dressed shortly after breakfast.
It’s a mentality thing more than anything. Kind of like the saying, “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.”
Now I did get out of my pajamas…but then I put on pajama pants and a loose top. I still felt comfy, but I was also an accessory (or two) and a pair of heels away from at least looking 90%.
And to remind myself of why I even bother getting out of bed…
And a little heads-up for next week…on Monday (July 16, at 1 p.m. ET) I’ll be co-hosting (along with other fabulous bloggers) a live, all-text Talk on The Motherhood, called How to Be Fashionable on a Budget. We’ll be trading ideas and answering questions about creating a fashionable, classic wardrobe on a budget. We will chat for 30 minutes! Melissa Angert of Girlymama, http://girlymama.com/ will be hosting. I’d love for you to stop on by! Can’t make it? Don’t worry! Afterwards the chat willl be put into a blog post so that you can check it out at a later time. Sounds like it’s going to be a great chat!!!
Linked with Two Thirty-Five Designs and Fashion Friday!
I hate being sick, because you still have to take care of the little ones! They’re too cute by the way and you look comfy and stylish!
Love that pop of red + the top knot, and you have a super cute family!
This look is fabulous. I am obssessing over it!
Stopping by from Fashion Friday. The chat sounds fun!

Thank you, Ylenia!
ugh. i hear you. i’m finally getting over mine, but still coughing and a bit nasal-y. poor miss z is still sick though…not sleeping well at night, having a hard time breathing…it’s the pits. we’re hopping on a plane on tuesday, for IL, so i pray she gets better before then. otherwise…that flight may be a disaster. hope you’re feeling better and happy weekend!
I had no idea you’d be in IL so soon! Here’s hoping the plane ride is short and very sweet for you all…especially Zoey!!
That’s really awesome you were able to pull yourself together like this even when you were sick:) I remember having the flu and still taking care of the kids….ugh! Kudos to you!

Love this look on you, and I totally agree that getting up and putting something pulled together on helps tremendously whether your sick, grumpy, or just wishing you could snooze for 10 more minutes.
this was us last week. 4th of july i woke up sick as a dog, then my son was sick and my daughter had a mild case. miserable. you look swell and stylish, tho, even in pj pants!! arent those the best?!
