Let's talk fashion, shall we?

Or in my case, lack of. Since I have had Ruby, I have been slowly buying shirts and sweaters to replenish my sad little wardrobe. Jeans and pants have totally been out of the question. I made that mistake with Reyna. I had her, I bought all new and switched sizes several times. Luckily, I held onto several pants in several sizes, so I have had something to wear.

I went shopping last weekend. I took Ruby and headed out of town to do a little shopping. My intent was to purchase new brown boots. I didn't find a single pair I liked, so instead, I purchased clothes. It's funny, because I realized the difference between my style as an upper 20's something gal, as opposed to a younger 20's. I found a sweater similar to this one ----->

The one I found, had six buttons on the bottom, but I couldn't find the exact picture, so whatever. Here is something similar just to give you a visual. Anyway, back to my story. I found this sweater, found my size in black and started searching for a long sleeve shirt to go underneath. I asked the sales lady for her opinion (remember the younger 20's chick with adorable taste) and she pointed out a white cami with lace on the top. My first thought was, "I am gonna freeze this winter in a teeny white tank." My second thought was, "I am such a geek." I put the sweater back and chose something else. Am I a nerd? Can I not wear a long sleeve shirt under this sweater? Anyway, I ended up picking out this one in turqoise.

I also found this shirt, which I picked up in a couple of colors. It fit well and I have a tendancy to do that. The last shirt I picked out, I cannot even believe I am admitting this, I bought a plaid shirt. When I saw that plaid was coming back, I thought, "No way am I EVER going to follow that trend." It's actually really cute. It's longer, multi print and has a tie around the waist. Once again, I asked cute, young sales chica her opinon and she thought the shirt was "so adorable" and it would look "soooo cute" with black leggings. What?! I think I will stick with jeans. Leggings and plaid? Too much for me.

I know I mentioned I had not purchased pants since having Ruby, I did decided to browse jeans. Blog readers, I am now the proud owner of my first pair of skinnny jeans. I am still kind of asking myself, "what the hell were you thinking?" I am sort of excited about them.

So I never did find boots. I wasn't crazy about the styles out right now. They had a huge selection of riding boots and slouchy boots, but that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for something similar to this, but I guess that's another shopping trip.

So tell me, what is your take on skinny jeans and plaid? Be honest. You won't hurt my feelings.
