I never ever, ever, ever get the chance to play dress-up anymore.  EVER.  When I was a little girl, I used to play in my mother’s closet for hours.  I would try on her jewelry.  I would wear her shoes.  I would wrap myself in her sweaters and dresses and blouses.  I would just have a ton of FUN!

As a wife and mother now… I can assure you that I don’t have much time to play dress-up in my own closet, nevermind my mother’s!

But sometimes you just have to have some fun and let-fashion-loose!

I did just that in LA this past weekend with my mother!  With no where to be… and with no kids with us… my mother and I decided to have some fashion fun at Loehmann’s in NYC.  We literally spent 4 hours in Loehmann’s weeding through racks and racks and racks of clothes, looking through dozens of shoes and belts and handbags and sifting through endless pieces of jewelry.   I don’t remember having this much fun in a store in forever… and sometimes it really is just fun to let go and have some fashion FUN! I tried on things that I felt were so-not-me… and things that were-way-too-expensive… ahhh… so much fun!

Here are 7 looks from the day…
