I have heard a lot about outfits that moms wear when they drop off their kids. I always find it funny, but it never really meant anything to my life. I have only dropped off my son at school on the first day. I knew I was going to do it and I planned an outfit that looked very put together so I would impress the teacher and the other moms. OK, I didn't impress them, but I looked like a normal adult and I looked like a respectable mom. Usually my husband takes Chazzy Chazz to school.
Today I worked from home because the sweet little Dessy Dess was sick through the night. Working from home causes interesting outfit choices. Probably no one is going to see you, so you don't want to waste any of your good work clothes. I decided to go with a shirt I just recently purchased online. I am trying to figure out if I like the fit and whether or not it is work appropriate. Then I realized that all my pants were in the laundry. I did manage to find my tye dye flowy pants. Turns out, these two go together perfectly.
My presence this morning seemed to slow down the rest of the family. The hubby didn't think that he could get Chazzy Chazz to school on time so he asked me to take him. I agreed, then looked at my outfit. The selected outfit is not the kind of thing you wear when you are trying to look like a normal adult/mom. Since I have heard all the stories about dropping kids off at school, I figured I could just stay in the car.
No. I couldn't stay in the car. The boy is spoiled rotten and his dad walks him into the building, so he wanted me to do the same thing. Not only that, but we were 10 minutes early and he wanted to get out of the car and wait at the door to the school. I did it. While I was waiting, I figured if I was going to look like crazy mom, I might as well embrace it. Chazzy chazz found some stepping stones and we turned them into a game of hopscotch and he and I took turns hopping back and forth on them.
It made me remember that I am crazy mom. I have to dress almost normal for work. It has gradually steered me towards dressing more and more normally in my every day life (well, relatively normal) because no one wants to have two full wardrobes. After I got over the original nervousness of looking crazy in front of the principal, I felt so free. I still don't think I can wear the tye dye pants to work, but I think the shirt might make it now.
btw, I had to take the picture standing on the toilet to really make my point. I am sorry it is a bathroom selfie, but I couldn't think of another way to share my awesome look.
