10年住み慣れたロサンゼルスで培った「ライターというキャリア」の追求と愛する夫と息子の「妻&母親業」。日本に帰国してフルタイムで職場に通う訳でもないが、セレブ主婦のように時間を持て余すなんてことができない自分のことを「中途半端」とネガティブに感じていた。そんなある日友人たちが「それこそハイブリッドな生き方!」とポジティブな言葉で励ましてくれた。子供を保育園に預けてまで仕事をしたくないけれど、お小遣い稼ぎという意味だけの小遣い稼ぎでは不満。社会との繋がりや将来のキャリアも追求した毎日を過ごしたい。だからこれからは堂々と胸を張ります。これこそ目指したい今時の欲張りな女の生き方。そう私は「ハイブリッドママ」。

[10-04-10] Everyday Fashion As A Mom...
Yesterday, I went to new Santa Monica Place with my husband and my son. It was pretty chill, and I wore a brown one-piece dress and my Sunshine Darlin's brown modal pants (Ilene pants) with brown simple shoes. I was all in brown.
Then browsing stores and I got shocked when I saw myself in the mirror at the store, no-make up, bit tired face women was in there. Yes, that was me...
I'm still nursing my son, so I usually pick the tops which is either V neck or button down type. And I can't pick a dress with round neck at all. Plus my body is still maternity looks like, so I prefer not to pick up tight pants.
Therefore I have few choices of tops and bottoms. Especially bottoms, I can wear either jeans or navy cottons pants. My daily wear is pretty much the same everyday.
I'm getting tired. I need to think about to change my style a little bit.
One of the easiest and quickest solution is using scarves!
Today I picked up my favorite long cotton knit scarf I got from Anthropologie last year.
Today's my look:
Gap's border tops
Gap's Navy chino pants
Anthropologie's navy/white/pink long scarf
TOMS shoes Ash Canvas Classic shoes
with Livity's cotton bag
I think it's pretty ok. It's not fancy, but I think dress well. Absolutely better than yesteday, I think.
By the way, I wrote article about TOMS shoes for Japanese media, and I studied about the company and thier movement. I think that's such an awesome thing what they do, and I bought a pair of their shoes. Since I went to Whole Food, they carry only TOMS CLASSIC line,which is the most simple and plain collection, and I picked this ash grey one.
It's so light and I like it!! Well love it!
As a mom, and if I knew earlier I could have worn while I was carring my son for sure:)
I'm thinking about shopping at Nordstrom to check other fancy TOMS shortly.
Anyway I think I have to keep my mind that I need to dress nice every morning otherwise my fashion sense will be destroyed. So I'm trying to use my brain for the best style I can think of everyday from TODAY!
