Hot Mama

Yesterday was Mom's birthday. Peter, Emily and I headed to Tar-jay for her gift while Mom watched Luke. We first picked out a purse, which was actually a pretty tough decision. We wanted something that was the right size and neutral enough that she could wear it with most things. Then I decided a purse wasn't enough, so we picked out an outfit based on something she showed me she wanted from BH&G (Better Homes and Gardens, duhr). Turns out I actually do like to shop- I just prefer to do it for other people. While we were at Target we also picked up razors and shaving gel for Peter because his mustache is getting out of control. He's starting to look like one of those 20 somethings that is ironically trying to grow a mustache. I told him his options were bleaching, waxing, plucking, or shaving. He gave me the death look and told me shaving was his choice. When we got home Emily and I blindfolded Mom and got her dressed in her outfit and had her open her eyes and step into the bathroom to see the look. I'm not into fashion, and I was only copying something from a magazine, but I was really pleased with how it turned out. Emily chose the necklace, which really pulled everything together. I think if I had chosen the necklace it would have been silver, and way too blah, but the necklace she chose brought out the colors in the sweater. Watch out, Olivia (from the City- I watch way too much reality tv), Emily is gonna take your job as accessories editor at Elle. Mom is so hot that Emily said her tush looked great and the belt will have to have another hole punched in it because she is too skinny.
