It’s Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday! For those of you visiting for the first time, the goal is to grab one hour of time within one week to do whatever you want…without the kids. It’s such an amazing proposition, I know! On Thursdays, post how you spent your “time out” (add my button from the right side bar or link to me) and be sure to stop here to link up and meet other Theta Moms to see how they spent their time out!
My husband and I are going to a wedding at the end of the month. I’ve been a little bummed out about the fact that I am still not in my pre-preggers clothing, especially since my daughter is now more than a year old! So frustrating! Despite my efforts (and sometimes lack thereof) I am forced to find something cute to wear even though I am still…ahem…between sizes.
The fact of the matter is I don’t feel like spending a fortune on yet another dress I will probably wear only once and since I am determined to get back into those “skinny” clothes, the new dress would just hang in my closet for all eternity.
So, after a little digging, I pulled out a good old little black dress. I know all of you have that one, “always-feel-good-in-it-no-matter-what” little black dress.
It’s classic.
Never goes out of style.
Makes me feel confident, attractive, sexy…regardless of my “in-between-size” right now.
Here is a picture of my LBD:
How did I spend my time out? Although I feel pretty good about the way I look in this little number, I thought I deserved to go shopping for some cute accessories to make it even more smashing.
So, that’s exactly what I did Theta Moms! I went shopping for an adorable little wrap to add a little “something” to my LBD. Here’s a small picture of the wrap. How cute will that look together?
And since I’ll be sporting my sparkling new Lauren Nicole Fine Silver Wax Seal Bracelet (giveaway ends tonight at 11 pm so enter here), I managed to find an adorable set of earrings that will look fabulous with the rest of my ensemble!
It felt so good to get out and do some real “grown-up” shopping. After taking this hour, I have turned an old LBD into a stunning new look! And now I can’t wait to show it off at the wedding!
How did you spend your one hour? If you are participating in Theta Mom Thursday, link up and share your time out with other Theta Moms!
That is a fun way to spend a day. Thanks for sharing love the black dress.. I still feel the same about my body. Boy do we change when we have children. In many ways. Have a great weekend.
ooh this is sensational!!
loved it my friend!!
yea..i am back..
I love the wrap! Thanks for following on my blog too! 😀
Girl you're just fabulous and perfect no matter what!
I love the shopping trip my dear! Great choices! I think I may take an hour and go for a pedi today, I'll keep you posted if I actually do it … LOL 😉
Oh Heather, do I ever have a good one this week. My half sisters were visiting me from Texas last weekend. My husband was working on Friday, so I lined up a babysitter and took them out for dinner.
Now, my sisters and I are still kind of getting to know each other. They are 10 years my junior but are just now embarking on their adult lives and we are *finally* finding our common threads.
We had such a lovely evening. We drank martinis, ate sushi, had a wonderful meal and drank more martinis.
And then I couldn't wait for this post so I could tell you about it! 😉
I need to do better at this "Time out for Theta Mom Thursday" Yesterday was the most hectic day ever! I was on my feet all freakin day long! Goal for next week, take a time out!!
I got your comment on my blog, is it really true? I did not see an email in my inbox, but will be so excited if I did!
Have a good day!
Heather that dress is gorgeous. I so would not look like that in it though. She looks 8 feet tall! Gosh! The wrap is great! A little shopping time is great.
I scheduled a massage for Monday so I will have a definite time out next week.
Have a great weekend!
Little Black dresses are my favorite and the wrap is beautiful. I have one like it that I bought myself once when I was on vacation.
Did you take pictures of your hot self? I'd love to see!
Thanks for another awesome Time Out!!!
You picked out the perfect items to go with your dress.
