Meet Mama Who Wears Prada

I started this blog because I was looking for something to wear to my son’s parent/cocktail event—which was happening right before the launch party of the Chinese Museum. I was caught up between looking “hot” for the launch party or looking like a slutty mom that needs to be called to the principal’s office for being bad. So…Turtle neck sweater dress? Or Prada dress w/ chandelier necklace? I opted for Prada and I admit that I was reluctant to sport my “Mr.T-esque” chandelier necklace. But I hopped in the cab donning my Mr.T necklace and decided that I was going to be the crazy fashionista mom and wear whatever I please.

I started to look for other moms like me, but my research became a disappointment—I realized that there weren’t any blogs that someone like me could get inspiration from. Sure, there are plenty of celebrity moms out there. But I want real women looking like celebrities because they are moms—not celebrity moms looking “real” because they are moms! Does that make sense? I have even tried to find inspiration from other crowd-sourcing fashion sites. Then I was traumatized seeing my posting from a“37 year-old blogger from New York” appeared next to “17 year-old blogger from Sweden.” They somehow look more fabulous in Forever21 and accumulated more hype points than me?!

I am a fashionable mom who’s hanging on to milf status with my dear life. I am not afraid to admit that I have spent half of my son’s preschool tuition on 4 inch heels only to be worn 4 times in an entire year. If you’re like me and you constantly battle between feeling like a superwomen who can do it all or thinking “my goodness I just can’t do anything well”—then give me a call—for we are a rare breed and a dying one at that. Mom’s who refuse to grow old UNITE!
