Plaid: Not Just for Lumberjacks

When I was chilling in Mommy Chick's tummy, we would have "music hour" every afternoon. Mommy Chick would play me songs by some skinny white guy named Justin Timberlake. Chelsea Handler said he is "the pied piper of vaginas." I don't know what that means.

This song is still my favorite. It's the skinny guy and some pretty girl who wears a onesie during part of the video:

I think taking a shower in your clothes is stupid (Editor's note: Showering commences at :46). But I did discover that Justin Timberlake designs a clothing line called William Rast. JT is embracing the plaid trend for winter and has this women's shirt:

OK...if you have any boobie milk in your mouth right now, swallow it quick. I don't want you to spew it all over your computer screen when I tell you this shirt is $175. The thought of spitting up on a $175 lumberjack shirt makes me giggle. I have to stop because Mommy Chick gets mad if Daddy Dude and I make fun of JT.
I like this shirt from Ann Taylor Loft much better. I think the details are cute and girly, and the little ruffle details might disguise baby puke. It can be yours for just under $50. Mommy Chick is going to order this for herself.

Since I don't have much hair and am sometimes mistaken for a boy, wearing a plaid shirt is risky and a little on the butch side. So I'm opting for a sweet little dress made by Nordstrom Baby for Nordstrom. It retails for $38 and starts at size six months.

Let me know how you plan to incorporate plaid into your fall/winter look. And Mommy Chick wants to know your favorite JT song. But since this is my blog, don't worry about answering that part.

Know Your Body Type

Mommy Chick and I are the luckiest girls in the world. We have all these fabulous men around us, who love to sing and dance and wear sparkly clothes. I think Mommy Chick calls them The Gays? Anyway, years ago Mommy Chick learned the most wonderful tip from The Gays about knowing what clothes look best: Find a celebrity who has your shape, and copy their style! Brilliant!

So Mommy Chick pays close attention to Beyonce, JLo, Kim Kardashian and Jessica Rabbit. In other words, she is "little in the middle but got much back." That's why you will often see Mommy Chick in belts.

Here is a gorgeous Betsey Johnson belt we love. You can get it at shop.nordstrom.com for $48.

If you want a cheaper, but still super fab option, we like this from Old Navy for only $13.


I've looked through some celebrity photos, and think this superstar most resembles my current physique:



From what I've seen online, he really doesn't wear a lot of clothes. That would be my preference, too, but apparently Mommy Chick would have to go live in a crate if she let me go out of the house naked. I did see that Kermit wears a lot of trench coats. So I found this cool unisex look:


You can get it at kidskiandrain.com. Sizes start at six months.
