Just because I am a mother, and a mother of two messy boys at that, does not mean that I want to live in fuzzy yoga pants and my hubby’s old t-shirts everyday. There are few things more satisfying than successfully leaving the house all dressed to the nines: make-up, a cute shirt and shoes with a little bit of a lift. I have recently bought a couple of really nice blouses that were polyester and kind of silky. They were shirts that I justified spending more money than usual on because they made me feel absolutely fabulous, and post two pregnancies, that’s important!
Well, I’ve learned my lesson. My favorite shirt, recently underwent three accidents…
1) Snagged on a sippy cup package
2) Snagged on a table
3) Snagged on the back of a chair
NOOOOOOO!!!!! This is what it looks like now…
I’ve been told that I could try and fix it, pulling a few more threads out to even it up a bit, but honestly, I’d just end up destroying it completely. When I used an iron on low heat, the wrinkles and bumps smoothed out but not completely. I will still wear this shirt but more carefully and now a little humbly.
So, until I’m no longer fighting open ridiculously hard sippy cup packages, chasing children around tables or carrying diaper bags with harsh velcro, I will refrain from buying the more expensive shirts. No matter how stinking cute they are…..
