Mother Fashion





Chapter 1--Easy Fashion Tips for Mothers


One avid reader asks: "What should a mother wear right after she gives birth?"

The Fashion Maven's response, like, without even thinking: "A bra, because it would look very motherly after you have given birth."  

(Aaannnd we're off.)
Chapter 2--Harder Fashion Tips for Mothers



 Q: Is it okay for papa's to dress like mothers?

FM:  "No, but sometimes if the man wants to look look like a woman, and he he has long hair,  he can put his hair in a bun or a pony tail and dress like a woman."  (This rules FM's humble secretary out.)

One mother who shall remain nameless (but she lives with the Fashion Maven), asks: "Sometimes I notice when I'm picking out my kid's clothes in the morning, I choose clothes that matches her's. Is it okay to match or should I not match?

FM: "Match! You should match, because then you would more look like a family member."

Follow-up question: What if my friends make fun of me for looking like my kid?

FM: "Then you just say, "Look on my kid's website and see that my mother is right."




 Chapter 3


 Q: Is it okay to wear the same, food-stained outfit every day?

FM: "No! It is not!!! Because if you do, they will think you only have that outfit, which means your outfit is not that pretty after a while. And it is not very imag-na-ni-tive."


Q: How do I get my kid to put away her clothes? (FM'S Mother: "This is a fashion question because they need their clothes to get dressed in the morning.")

FM: "Well I think your mom should ask politely."

Q: What if the mother is asking politely and it doesn't work?

FM: "If they have an allowance, tell them they won't get their money if they don't fold their laundry and put it away."  





Chapter 4--A Peak Behind the Curtain


The Fashion Maven Hard at Work



Before

FM: "I was aiming for very smooth and thin and smooth because this is what's in fashion right now."




FM: "In this photo I was thinking I was doing a good job."



FM: "Here I was thinking that I didn't do as good a job as last time, but that I could hopefully make it better." 

Q: Did you feel any sense of panic at this point?

FM: "No. not even for a second" said the supremely confident Fashion Maven.  


... and After

FM: "I was thinking this was the best aversion of all the other pictures. It was like, it was the leader. And that's all I want to say."


FM: "This is the model of the last photo you are going to see. She looks cute, and I was positioning her for the picture.  The Mama model was saying: "Wow, this kid is the best Fashion Maven ever."

Can She Be Helped? Yes, Yes She Can.

Dear Fashion Maven,  We really need some help here. First of all, I'm wondering if it's alright to wear the same sweater all winter long? You see, it's very cold these days and there's really only one sweater I feel cozy and warm in. It's plain enough I was thinking perhaps people wouldn't notice I have it on day after day?  Justin is also wondering, can he wear this nice felt hat with a waffle? I told him I thought he might need a button up shirt, but you're the expert, and we can't wait to hear what you think.  In gratitude,  Gabrielle and Justin  The Fashion Maven's secretary is scribing this blog entry from sunny Albuquerque, but he just FaceTimed with the elusive FM, and this is what she advised the poor lost souls pictured above (and I quote ... er, more or less):  " Of course it's okay if she wears the same cozy sweater every day." ** ** Secretary's hyperbolic addendum: "Day in and day out, year...

Kitchen Fashion Tips

Image
The stylish author and her fashion-impaired papa hard at work. 1) If you are drying dishes with someone, take turns. Because if you do not, they will want to do your turn, and you will want to do their turn.  2) Always make sure--if there is water in the bottom of a cup--you should dry that up. Because if you don't, when you drink the water, it will be a little bit hot. If you have some bowls that need to be dried, you should stack them when you dry them. 3) Same with plates. You should stack them and dry them. 4) Question: What are good colors for a kitchen?      Answer: Gold and yellow , because if you don't put gold and yellow in your kitchen, it won't look very kitchen-ee. 5) If you want to organize your refrigerator, you should, if you have eggs, you should put them where there is lots of room. If you don't, when you open your refrigerator, they will fall out, and you get to clean it up.  6)   One very sexy reader* asks: W...

Fashion Maven's "Layers of Blog"

Image
There is layered cake ...   ... layered parfaits ... ... and layered salads. And lest we forget, there is also layered lasagna ... ... and the ever popular 7 Layer Bean dip But this blog is not about food. It's about clothes.  Lets Go! FM: "Sometimes you wear layers for fashion, and sometime you wear layers for warmth.  For example, a long sleeved shirt over a short-sleeved dress would be an example of fashion." But when we searched for the above online, we had little success. "They so don't get this!" screamed the Fashion Maven, as would any true artist who feels thwarted in her vision ** (**FM's secretary took a bit of hyperbolic license with her tone--not to say her words--in the above description.) However, intrepid as ever, FM decided to take matters into her own hands and took time from her busy schedule to model said-style. We decided to change our search to "long sleeved shirt under a short-sleeved dress....
