OOTD: Lily of the Valley Meets Biloba

Good morning! I'm gonna warn you now, I'm on my soap box today! I had a rough day yesterday that culmunated with someone indirectly attacking me on Facebook. Usually I just let things like this slide. I mean, I'm 33 years old and so over "high school" drama, but someone insinuated that I wasn't a good mother because I'm narcissitic. Yes, we're back there again. Why do people feel the need to judge someone they don't even know? I have a passion for fashion. This is my hobby. Some people collect coins, antiques, etc. I collect clothes, and this blog is my way of showing off that collection. I also like to think I help people by giving them styling ideas, sizing information, and the like. I get so much out of all the other fashion blogs out there and thought it would be fun to do one of my own. I had no idea I would get attacked for it. My mom says I should have expected it for "putting myself out there." I guess that's true, but I can't stand by and let someone say I'm not a good mother. I love my kids. My husband and I work full time to give them a good life. I pick them up everyday, cook dinner, do homework, and get them ready for bed. I'm not perfect, but I do my best. I don't think it's a crime that I take a few minutes out of my day to do something for me. As far as the pictures go, I think they are an artistic outlet for me. I can't paint or draw, and I don't know a thing about photography, but I appreciate art. It is so fun to come up with these ideas for photo shoots incorporating the clothes I love so much and see them come to fruition. If that makes me narcissitic then I guess I'm guilty as charged.

Ok, now that's out of the way, let's talk about my outfit of the day. I'm wearing the Lily of the Valley Blouse with the Biloba Necklace (go here to win this necklace). My pants are from The Limited and my shoes are the Seychelles Trip the Light Fantastic Sandals. I know I've said it before, but these shoes are the most comfortable heels I have ever owned. I needed some comfort today because I have to take all 3 of my kids to the dentist. Wow, imagine that, I'm actually doing something for someone else. ;-) Have a great day!
