Themeof the Week ResizedHello all, we are starting a “theme of the week” posting contest.  Every week I will post a theme of the week, this week it is Denim.  Every week we will put out a theme and all of you bloggers can blog on that topic.  Then we all vote on the most thought provoking, silly, scary or outrageous post.  The person who wins gets a piece of apparel. 

Food for thought, there was a recent article in the NYTIMES style section about the falling prices of denim…check it out.

Truth be told. It really wasn’t very difficult for me to sign up for The Great American Apparel diet. Why, you ask? Well, because I – moi – must wear a uniform to work each and every day. Not the sort of east coast navy-green plaid skirt with leather buckle that I wore my entire year of 6th grade at Greens Farms Academy of the grand Westport Connecticut, but well…. a different sort of uniform category …… SHOES….. or in my case….”anti-shoes”. You see – I work for MBT (also known as Masai Barefoot Technology) – the innovator or the infamous rocker sole – known to change lives one shoe box at a time. (MBT, the anti-shoe – www.mbt.com). And while I love my MBTs – all 20 pairs of them – I am unable to ever put on another pair of “shoes” — it’s a rule in which we MBT worker bees live by. Yes, even on my dates, or well, date that I had 2 months ago – the first one in 5 years – I wore my MBTs. I know – it’s shocking – how do I make these clunkers look cute? But I have figured it out – thus the uniform. Denim. Denim. And more denim. My boot-legged denim works with my Black M Walks. My skinny True Religions work with my Kaya’s, and my favorite Paige jeans works with ummmmm…..my Black M Walks as well. There really is no reason for me to be a girl on the go and shop shop shop. Each morning, I start with my feet and work my way up – and let me tell you – I might not be the most fashionable gal these days – but my tummy is tighter, my glutes are stronger and I am uber-comfortable when I am racing from gate E8 to E55 at DIA! Go MBT – also know as “My Butt is Tighter”!
