I am on the wait list now for the DD denim capris! :) I'm happy to hear that you are returning to the SAHM world! Don't get me wrong, I totally support moms who have to work. I also support ladies who find fulfillment in working outside of the home, but I have also worked in daycares for 4 years while in college and studied some Human Development and Early Childhood Education, plus I've worked for a non-profit that worked hard to support daycares, and after all that experience, it opened my…
I am on the wait list now for the DD denim capris! :) I'm happy to hear that you are returning to the SAHM world! Don't get me wrong, I totally support moms who have to work. I also support ladies who find fulfillment in working outside of the home, but I have also worked in daycares for 4 years while in college and studied some Human Development and Early Childhood Education, plus I've worked for a non-profit that worked hard to support daycares, and after all that experience, it opened my eyes to the strict, unchanging, no-doubt-about-it fact that daycare should be your LAST resort for raising children. (Preschool is different; I'm talking about fulltime daycare for children under 4 years.) I know that living on one income is hard and that us moms feel like the lowest wrung on society when we say we "stay home" when someone asks what we do, and that most people roll their eyes and think we mooch off our husbands during this time, but in the end, your sons will be SO much better off!! I know this opinion of mine is not a popular one, and trust me, I was a hardcore feminist before and thought I'd just continue on with my career if I had kids, but after seeing and studying all that developmental stuff, and seeing behind the scenes at several daycares, (and now, as a mom, thinking about all of the horrible mistakes we all unknowingly made while caring for others' children), I will gladly sacrifice my ego and my extra income for 5 years to give my child(ren) the absolute best care that anyone can give them. Sorry about the rant, but all this to say: welcome back home! :) Ha as a fellow PUG with a hus…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2013-03-19:6504043:Comment:1947712013-03-19T14:58:29.928ZZynthia M Roserohttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/ZynthiaMRosero
<p>Ha as a fellow PUG with a husband who loves my booty, the Deadly Dames Capri's are amazing. I literally just ordered another pair of the denim ones because they are such a staple. I gave going back to work a try for a year and hate it so in one month I'll be back to being a SAHM and have started keeping that in mind with my purchases. The separates are a must, and with 2 very hyper boys (5 and 3) it's hard to get away with dresses often, but if I do, I love the Netti Dresses. Comfy and cute.…</p>

<p>i work in retail and am running all day, i love the hight waist crop pant and harrison top, i have the top in both black and white. or a pencil skirt and the jersey long sleeve mock neck. I think these would be good everyday options and i love a shirt dress for doing my "out and about" things like shopping and banking. i save the dressy dresses for special outtings. 3 must that i will never be without in my PUG life... a great classic pair of heels.

( actually bought a pair at a going out of business sale for 7$) a classic black hand bag. and a killer sexy dress ( whatever makes you feel like your husband would be jealous if someone else saw you in it.). just remember clothes dont make the man but a great dress can make any woman beautiful.</p>

<p>I traded the hoodies for cardigan sweaters or boleros over camis for a versatile/professional mix and match option (because face it, who knows when you are going to get to laundry when chasing after young kids).. Depending on the age of the kids, either go with retro style jewelry or something if your kid grabs, won't hurt you (like clip on earrings). Hair clips & flowers are a fun/kid friendly way to dress yourself up too.I haven't been brave enough to change from jeans or capris to…</p>

Hair clips & flowers are a fun/kid friendly way to dress yourself up too.I haven't been brave enough to change from jeans or capris to skirts because the kids still like to wipe their hands on me. My shoe of choices is still a running shoes for safety reasons (I'm outnumbered) I choose my battles wisely.</p>
<p>Just be forewarned that if you have a daughter and you are buying cute accessories from PUG, you might want to order a second set for her. Mine has commandeered just about every accessory that I have bought from PUG.</p>

Hey I have three kids (ages 7, 3, and 1) and love the DD vamp top with a sweater and jeans. Pencil skirts work with cute flats and top. Summer is Netti dresses and halters with capris or jeans or my old standby of skirts. This year I want to add some Heidi dresses. Have fun!

Your input definitely helps, thank you! Btw, it inspires me that you are so beautiful and stylish (in a fun way, too) and you are 10 years older than me; I wondered if the vintage look would still work for me in my 40's as well, and you show that it definitely can! :)

<p>Hi, I may not be a stay at home mom, (lol, I had to look SAHM), but I'm a 48 year old medical provider and I wear PUG and other vintage styles every day at work and at home. I have been dressing this way for years and I can tell you the challenge has not only finding styles that are attractive on my figure but appropriate for work and versatile too. I agree with everyone on the separates concept, one black pencil skirt goes a long way. So for what its worth, here's a few of my favorrite…</p>

I agree with everyone on the separates concept, one black pencil skirt goes a long way. So for what its worth, here's a few of my favorrite tricks. A cropped light weight jacket or short sleeved button up sweaters in a variety of solid colors are priceless for layering over a low cut dress or blouse remove them to go from day to night. A simple red matte lip, eyebrows, and eyeliner plus some sort of heel make me feel dressy and complete no matter what I'm wearing, Hopes this helps</p> I love this!

<p>Thank you, I cant believe I found those at Kohls! I love Iron Fist shoes, they are a bit different than what you will find on the PUG site. Even though I love PUG clothing I still love skulls and zombies too! Check out Hell Bunny too, they sell real cute swing dresses in really interesting patterns, like skulls and unicorns!</p>
