A Fashion Dare!

Since I became a mother I haven't worn any sort of printed pants, leggings or jeans. To be honest I'm not sure why. Maybe I was afraid to step outside the box again. Or I fell in the "mom wagon" and became boring? I also once swore to myself I would never become the mom with her hair always in a pony tail. But did I? I'd like to think not.

About a week ago my oldest daughter and I went out on a little shopping extravaganza. I have lost a little bit more weight and wanted to treat myself. A good reason right? On our way home we made a quick pit stop at Target. What girl doesn't love Target?! It just happened that they had printed ankle pants on sale for only 15$. Can't go wrong there. They caught my eye as if they had a glowing ring around them saying, "pick me!" I won't buy something unless I love the item.

After trying them on and getting the "okay" from my daughter, I decided to make a bold choice and get them. I'm so glad I did because they make feel like I look thiner.  I made a fashion dare and no longer feel stuck in the "mom box".

Good luck on your hunt! I bought the pants from Target in the Misses section if that helps!

Gosh that's brave of you. I haven't worn prints on trousers since I was about 10. They look great. Maybe I'll give it a go sometime.
