Sometimes, the internet is just awesome. And now that I have to spend almost my whole day on it, checking and writing e-mails to and from colleagues, students, and parents, not to mention uploading links, PDFs, homework assignments, grade books, and attendance - I sometimes forget that fact.
But a few weeks? Days? I'm not sure. Anyway, some time ago, the lovely Kelly offered to donate some maternity clothes to me. We started e-mailing and we met today (making her the third blogger I've ever met in person, and neglected to take a picture of! I didn't have my camera. It wasn't in the cards.). Apart from the fact that it was wonderful to talk to a mom (I met her two kids! It was amazing!) of small children, it was so relaxing to sit in a nice café, chat, have some tasty treats, and just be on a Sunday morning.
And, more frivolously, she passed me on some pretty wonderful fall/winter maternity gear that will no doubt get lots of wear, lots of love, and lots of exposure on this here corner of Style Nation. Did I mention it's all in my size? And did you get the sense that I was already a little depressed by the puniness of my maternity wardrobe? I'm feeling a damn sight better now, let me tell you.
So, yeah. Style Nation? You're awesome. Readers? You're awesome. Kelly? You're super-awesome. You guys? I'm a little emotional. Did anyone see this week's season premiere of 'The Office'? I'm kind of like Pam these days...
Aw, yeay! I heart Kelly in Beantown, even more that you've told us about her generosity. I'm excited for you and frankly a wee bit jealous. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that Kelly is sharing like this and it will be truly interesting to see the remixes you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI have heard nothing but good things about Kelly (from A-Dubs, a very reliable source), and this just confirms them! Yay for new-to-you maternity duds!
ReplyDeleteAwww, how cool! That sounds like a fantastic meet-up, and can't wait to see how you style all of Kelly's maternity wear, since I followed her pregnancy styling earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteAnything and everything you've heard about Kelly's awesomeness is true. The lady is amazing. And her kids are adorable. It was such a fun meet-up - I wish it could've lasted longer. I can't wait till the weather cools down so that I can wear her duds!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks C&B! You're making me mist up here. Let's meet up again soon.
ReplyDeleteYay! Okay!
