Oh, no pretty mama...

...what you gonna do in those shoes...

I file this under 'a pregnant pause' because let's face it, if you're breastfeeding, you still feel pregnant. There's this little viper still attached to you every few hours (or sooner). And most of us still carry a bit of the extra weight. So when you have to go clothes shopping, like I did this week, it's seriously traumatic.

I had to find the perfect outfit for the wedding of some dear friends (smooches to you, my little lovebirds!) Alas, nothing, and I mean NOTHING fit for the nursing mom. Anna Nicole and Pam Anderson...you got nothin' compared to crazedparent mama. This makes shopping difficult, to say the least.

But oh, when I stepped into Ann Taylor and saw these shoes...I had to have them. They would complete me. I would be able to stand tall and proud in these pointy, leopard spotted heels.  I had to find the outfit to match the shoes. And I did. The price tag...cripes. Don't get me started. But they are mine.

To the bride and groom, I love you dearly one, because you are such wonderful friends and I'm thrilled to be able to watch you get hitched tomorrow. And two, because your wedding offered me the blissful opportunity to buy these KICK ASS shoes. The sass is back.

Mamas out there...what purchase post baby made you feel sassy again?

Love you too CP. Your outfit was mahvelous and your family so special to us. Your hubby was such a great groomsman, so calm and poised, even during his reading.

See you after the honeymoon!
