Bridget Moynihan Has Style Advice And So Do I

Posted by sweatpantsmom

Bridget Moynihan has some style advice for new moms.  Being a single mom to six-month-old John has not only brought out her feminine side, (“Now I like pieces with blousier, girlier cuts") but has made her realize that her dominatrix days may be behind her.  “My patent leather Christian Dior high boots – they’re kind of hard to wear to the park,” she says. 

I have my own tips, too, but my kids are older and I've learned to lower my expectations:

Try to shower once in a while.  Timing it to an event, like the Grammies, or a solar eclipse might help you remember

Try to remember to always wear pants.  Or keep an extra pair in your van for those days you arrive at school to pick up your kids and you don't want to get arrested

Attempt to fashion your hair into a pleasing style.  If you can't find your brush, use whatever tools are available, like a serving fork or one of your kid's toy gardening tools.

Always try and stay current by squeezing into jeans that are as low-cut as possible, no matter how uncomfortable or ridiculous-looking. Teenagers don't have a lock on the 'gangsta-look' and don't you let them forget it.

I take my showers at night, but definitely miss a few during the week. My husband gets the baby ready in the morning because I leave so early for work. The other night, I he smelled a little funny, so I casually asked him when the last time he took a shower was. "Saturday," he said. It was Thursday night.
