Monday with Mom

Still no work today, so my mom came into town to spend the afternoon with me. We saw Harry Potter (a tradition for us), had lunch, and went shopping for a dress for her to wear to my wedding. I just realized that I should have snapped some pics of her in the dresses that she bought. She looked FOXY!

What I Wore While Spending the Day With My Mom:

  • purple beaded tank (Express)
  • maxi dress (via Ross)
  • bracelet (gift from my sister Stacy)
  • earrings (inherited from grandma)
  • flip-flops (gift at a friend bachelorette weekend)

Can I Get Your Input?

I received an email today from a marketing company that represents Old Navy. They offered me a $5 gift card "to show their appreciation for keeping a positive outlook on their brand." My first thought is that it's attempt to induce me to say nice things about Old Navy, so I should turn down the offer. (No big deal b/c it's only $5.) But then I realized that I do post a lot of outfits with lots of Old Navy items, so maybe it's just like they want to say thanks for all the times that I have given them a little "publicity" by wearing their clothes on my blog. I would never take money just to "promote" a product or brand. But is it wrong to take a gift for talking about something that I would talk about anyway? Because let's be honest, I love Old Navy and I own a lot of their clothes. And even though it's only $5, that goes a long way at Old Navy esp in their clearance section which is where you know I love to shop. LOL.

I don't think I will be accepting this thank you from Old Navy b/c I didn't start this blog for any personal gain (maybe some personal loss...of weight), but I would love to hear what you think esp if any of you have received the same sort of thing from Old Navy or other companies.
