Shop in Style: Events Galore I - Be THAT Mom

Apparently the event season is back in full swing. Details in the next few posts.

Events Galore I (apologies to the Bean-free, but it should be a good event, whether Bean-free or With Bean)

What: Be THAT Mom - runway, nibbles, and midday cocktails (woo! hoo!)

When: 24 October, 11-1pm

Where: Bloomie's, Chevy Chase

Why: Joyce Neave, stylist extraordinaire of That Mom, Inc. helps us (yes, I'm going, with D-day return to work just around the corner) spruce up and be practical (see? Told you it wasn't just for mommies.)

RSVP (soon - spots are being snapped up) to thatmom@thepattongroupinc.com

Kiss of Fashion Death

"How do I look?"

Pause.

Not good.

"You look like a mom," he says sheepishly.

Panic.

Big panic.

Thank goodness an outfit can be transformed by a pair of shoes.

Thank goodness I have a lot of them.



Now, I was saved today by a rockin' pair of Miami-bought sandals. But I forsee days when, well, I could very well be a candidate for "Ambush Makeover" or "How Do I Look" - still wearing the comfy M clothes 'cause they're easy, stuck in jersey because it can't be hurt by milk...you get the picture. So I've promised myself if I get to that point (though H is insisting I won't - and he'll make sure I don't), I'll pick up the Red Phone and call Joyce Neave of Be That Mom. Stylist extraordinaire, Joyce saves moms from the brink of fashion disaster. Closest consultations, shopping together, shopping for you - you name it, she'll help.

Oh, and she'll help you even if you haven't taken the plunge to Mommydom.
