The Michelle Obama look .... aka Paige's closet



Her Michelle Obama look :)


I was pretty adamant that I was not going to start shopping for this baby until August 1st. Dont ask me why that particular date stuck in my mind. I was trying to wait until I was further alone and until school started and simply picked the date. Anyhoo here I am chilling in Biloxi, Mississippi with my lovely family and what hits me? The urge to shop! Not the urge to shop for myself because that would be too much like right but the urge to shop for Paige. I tried to fight it as much as I possibly could but decided to go with the emotion and hang loose. So we piled into my father's car and drove to the outlet mall. I had no idea what temptation and pleasure awaited me lol. Seriously shopping for this baby was like a high...it was euphoric. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating a little but I did get a major rush.

Unlike registry shopping, clothes shopping has ALL of the cute items for little girls. A woman could easily go broke. Thank God my father raised me to be a sale-a-holic and I've become quite the coupon queen too. I started off at Baby Gap proceeded to The Children's Place(which had a deal so great that I need to find another one asap!) and ended my journey at Carters. Paige has jeans, dresses, and the cutests skirts. She can look like Beyonce one day and Michelle Obama the next. I love it! Of course I told myself that this was the ONLY shopping that I would do for her until August 1st.

Three days later I find myself entering a Walmart for cereal and exiting out with 15 personalized onesies for Paige. I just could not resist....they were so cute with their "My mom is cute and so am I" slogans! What was a woman to do? Because of all of this andddd moving, I have had to push Paige's shopping date back to October. At the rate that I was going I would be broke and homeless and Paige's closet would be ridiculously stocked. So I'm trying my best to keep my promise. This week is sale tax week. Lets see how long I last
