| Nice outfit made of polyester |
My Response:
Every working mom knows that a baby can wreck your pursuit of
elegance if you let it. The secret is,
you can’t let it. Because while other
moms will understand that your kid has you looking like a hot mess in public
they will talk about you. And chances are, you were talking about those crazy
looking moms before you became one of them before you became a mom.
I can relate to the challenge. Both of my kids have been
spitters. It’s like they are allergic to clean shirts. When they encounter a
clean shirt their mission is to soil it.
I think it makes them feel better or something. The secret to looking good is to eschew
natural fabrics and rock polyester.
I know this advice seems odd coming from me. I have shared my
stories of natural childbirth, making my own baby food and making green drinks
from scratch. I believe in natural foods, but appreciate the simplicity polyester more than ever.
You want to look good and smell good? Avoid natural fibers at all costs, especially leather.
For you purists, I dare you to judge me. For you moms with small kids, trust me. Man-made clothing is the secret to looking good with small children. Cotton stains easily. Silk is ruined by spit up. And it's hard to get foul odors from wool.
