Did you watch the Oscars Sunday night? Did you have a favorite dress?  I thought Jennifer Hudson looked amazing! I loved what Halle Barry said when asked what she liked about the show: (to my best recollection):

I am a slave to fashion.  I love seeing how women interpret their idea of glamour.

I like to see how they want to present themselves, on this night for everyone to see.

Her statement got me thinking about how I want to present myself every day. In real life, I’m not walking a red carpet for photographers.  But more importantly, I am presenting myself to my husband and 4 pairs of eyes that belong to the sweetest girls in the world.  What do I want them to see?  I don’t want them to see a slave to fashion, but I do want them to see a mom who presented herself well, because they were worth me dressing up (a little), and looking the best I can.

And just for fun, my Gussy Cam Shots.

I am enjoying this link up at The Pleated Poppy each week. The truth is, I love this light hearted conversation.  If you and I could sit down and chat for a few minutes over coffee, I might say, “Where did you get that cute shirt?” or “I love your hair!” We’d talk about our crazy day,the kids, and I might even tell you what God is teaching me about Grace. But we’d cover this type of stuff too.  The day to day life stuff.  The girl stuff.  The stuff that makes us smile!

So let’s chat!  Oscar fashion? How is your heart today?  What made you smile? Did you pick up any spring cuteness this past weekend?  Thanks for spending time with me today at @29lincolnavenue!
