Fancy high heels are for suckas*. Just sayin’.
* Or people who don’t have painful, bulging bunions. One or the other.
9. The last issue of Vogue you looked at was at your OBGYN’s office the week of your first kid’s due date. Seven years ago.
8. Whenever you turn on the laptop to look up fashion blogs, the kids start fighting over who gets to go on Spongebob.com first.
7. It’s hard to try on clothes when you’re breastfeeding one kid and looking for crayons to distract the other while in the Target changing room.
6. You get so used to buying elasticized-waist pants for the kids, you automatically reach for them for yourself.
5. Neither spit-up on your shoulder nor snot on your shirt hem have ever been called “The New Black”.
4. It is guaranteed that if you find something flattering that is currently in style and on sale, you’ll realize you forgot that you’re in charge of carpool that day and have to leave the store RIGHT NOW.
3. Endless hours of Dora has you convinced there’s nothing wrong with a wardrobe entirely consisting of pink shirts with orange shorts, yellow socks and purple backpacks.
2. Granny Panties are actually really quite comfortable.
1. Nothing looks better than pajamas feel right after the last kid is picked up from school.

Goodness! I’ve been super cranky since yesterday morning when… well lets start from the beginning: Yesterday I woke up in the best mood ever! I was sing-a-longing, ready to make a great breakfast for everyone, then I left baby with hubby. Baby started crying, hubby got pissed off, good feeling is gone. Now I was pissed, later on I got tipsy (well, a wee bit more than tipsy). This morning I woke up -obviously- hung-over and still with a knotty feeling in my stomach. But thank goodness for your clever list! Now bad feeling is gone and I have a big smile on my face again, thanks!!! You wouldn’t have anything for hung-overs, would you?
I’m just laughing that you’re hung over enough to ask if I have anything “for hung-overs”.
I’ll work on that one for you.
I snorted at the Dora comment. Just promise you won’t take her picture to your hair stylist. Please.
And you speak the truth with your #1 reason. As long as you don’t pick them up with the pajama on, there is still hope. I have considered it many times, but figure that would doom me to having the SUV break down. -Ellen

I hold out on the PJs til we’re all in the house for the rest of the night. Or day. Or morning…
today for the first time in my mom-career i made it all the way to the car for school pick-up before i realized i was in pajama pants. i weighed wearing the pants/the chances of anyone noticing/and the fact i would be late if i changed.
and yes, i did go inside and change. even a non-fashionista mom like me has my unfashionable limits!

I say it also depends on the See-Thru Factor of said PJs. Are they a plain color and opaque? Meh…you could get away with it. Are they floral and sheer? People will catch on.
Let’s just say everyone else in the house is the reason my laundry baskets are full. Me… well Im still in yesterdays pajamas.
And I am pretty sure Dora has more style than this mommy
Brittany @Onestrand recently posted..HELP WANTED
I totally wear clothes over and over just so I don’t have to do so much laundry.
Not that anyone else in the house contributes to the cause…siiiiiighhhh….
Can we focus on the fit of Dora’s clothes? Am I the only person who finds it so annoying that her t-shirt is too small?
Granny panties and PJs feel way too good to be wrong.
Allison @ Motherhood, WTF? recently posted..Why 24 Hours Feels Like 30, and Still Isn’t Enough Time
Yes. What Allison said. Me too. I love my granny panties and LL Birth Control nightie.
And I’m so with you that I always have to leave the store before I actually accomplish anything good.
The Bearded Iris recently posted..I might have to change grocery stores after this.
Oh, Beardy, I can’t tell you the number of times I had my 2 kids in the double stroller and FINALLY found something in a store that wasn’t maternity and BAM someone would have a spray poo or vomit and I’d have to leave. They wanted me to look like shizz. It’s the only reason I can come up with.
I now buy things in 2 sizes, try on at home, and return. It’s the only way.

I just peed my pants over the “LL Birth Control Nightie”

It bugs the crap outta me that we can see Dora’s belly. PULL YOUR SHIRT DOWN.
I love me my grannies. They so soft.
bwahaha…all perfectly good reasons why mom’s should just give up and swing through Target grabbing stuff as they go.
Sandra recently posted..Life? As a Central Child
Ah, so you are familiar with my shopping technique.
Oh as soon as I walk through the door each night I relish the time that I get to peel of the day’s clothes and put on my pj’s, it’s my favorite part of the day, lol.
My. FAVORITE.
I’m in them right now, after hosing off the day/my kids’ goo off of me, and it is delicious.
Steve was just wondering aloud today why her shirt is so damned short!
I love #5.
Suburban Snapshots recently posted..Sh*t Preschoolers Say
It’s just not cute. It’s weird that her shirt’s too short.
I’m so pathetic. As soon as I get home from work EVERYDAY, like sometimes I barely make in the door before stripping, I rip off work pants and thong and slip into my old friends pajama pants and granny panties. I’m pretty sure my husband thinks it’s my uniform because it’s all he ever sees me in anymore. And I don’t have kids.
This is getting depressing. Plus, as the t-shirt says, none of my outfits are complete without cat hair.
It’s hard to be a fashionista period.
Katie @ Chicken Noodle Gravy recently posted..All the World’s a Cage
My husband thinks I never wear my wedding rings, because I’m usually gone before he’s up and he gets home after I’ve removed all jewelry & decent clothing…and makeup…etc.
I went to buy bigger jeans and my daughter wondered why they don’t make mummy clothes with adjustable elastic at the waist, like her jeans. What a sensible idea! Apart from the expanding bum and thighs I suppose…
I think this makes total sense. And it would be a great product to market during the holidays, when we all need expanding pants (or, I’m thinking “trousers” for your folk, no?)
.
This is NOT a naps happen joke – it is true. We wear pajamas in the house so often that we have created an action known as “jammification.” You know – the time of the day when you don your jammies and commence relaxation…of sorts.
Naps Happen recently posted..Sleep ‘n Safari
I officially am stealing that term from you. We enter Pajama O’Clock and all run for the jammies. But Jammification is waaaaay cooler.
So true!
I recently flipped through a J.Crew catalog for the first time since I began birthing babies. And I was horrified to see that everything wasn’t $88 like it used to be. I mean, just when I can afford to buy something that costs $88, now it’s all like $288. And neon. WTF? One more reason to stick with yoga pants.
JD @ Honest Mom recently posted..Here’s why I freak out for a few days every month.
I’ll give you this: the neon thing right now is ReeeeeDONkulous. I wouldn’t pay 99 cents for half that crap.
Haha great post… Oh the sacrifices we have to make when we have children… wouldn’t change it for the world though.
Melissa H recently posted..Is there a way of getting rid of sleep apnea
Amen, sister.
There was never a better caption for a Dora picture.
You know I love this one.
Ninja Mom recently posted..I’m not cheating on you, I’m cheating for you.
We should dress all non-fashionistaish and go out together sometime. it’ll be epic.
This list is hilarious and oh so true!!! I’m not one bit ashamed nor guilty to tell you that most days I stay in my pajamas all day long. I don’t know what I’m going to do when my kids start school and I actually have to leave the house!
Lacey recently posted..Grilled Apple & Cheese Sandwich
You’ll find PJs that look like regular clothes.
This was hilarious! I love the points you made about Dora. Ha! Thanks for linking this up with #findingthefunny last week!
