Nordstrom? No Thanks!

 

A high school boyfriend accused me of over-thinking things. A high school religion teacher made me feel like less of a freak by telling me you can't ever think too much. 

My boyfriend was a jock. The teacher was a philosopher. 

I learned over the next 20 years that the truth, for me anyway, falls between the two extremes. 

I thought about the two guys and their advice for me this week after I turned down a chance to let the girls walk in a kids' fashion show at Nordstrom. The sales lady told me about the event when I bought Easter dresses for Esme and Josephine. 

"It will be fun," she said. "Do you want them to be in it...?"

9 Clothing Items Too Sexy for Tweens

 

Tomorrow's Momversation is about a hotly debated topic these days: the sexualization of our tween girls.  At younger and younger ages, little girls are wanting to look "sexy."  But what can sexy mean to an 8-year-old anyway?  Here are 9 clothing items to avoid if you want your tween to look age appropriate (a.k.a., a little common sense your way):

9.  High Heels

Luckily, they don't really make extremely high heels for little girls (just babies), but a lot of tweens are already in adult sizes.  With idolized stars like Miley Cyrus wearing super-sexy shoes, little girls are sure to want to emulate.  A sprained ankle later, and you'll wish you stuck to flats...

One Dress: One Hundred Ways

 

Normally, when we receive a message from PR people about products, we ignore it.  But we were quite taken with Hayley Starr's dresses.  And since we've been talking about Momversation style, it seemed rather zen.

So Long, Mr. Meggan

 

It’s no secret to Moms that after you have kids the personal grooming takes a back seat…in the trunk.  The days of mani/pedis, three hour hair appointments, and professional facials are a distant and faint memory.  My hair is now colored from a box, the place that cuts my hair also cuts my baby’s hair all for under $20.00 (and I have my son sitting in my lap for BOTH our hair cuts),  and a facial consists of grinding up and mixing with yogurt whatever fruit we have left over from breakfast and smearing it on my face...
