Wokay, it’s time again for WWTKW with Queso, Mamarazzi and Crazymama, busy though I may be now that I have a part-time job. This week’s theme is definitely something I can relate to.

1. Do you shop til you drop, or are you in and out as soon as possible?

I’m a diehard shopaholic shopping maniac! In my crazier past life before I had kids, I used to go on an annual shopping spree and literally shop from the time the stores open until 10:00pm when they close… for 3-4 days straight, stopping only to have a quick bite of lunch and dinner.

I’ve shopped at every place I’ve ever been to. Most normal people would kick back by the pool with a good book when they’re on occasion. Me? I’m up at the crack of dawn and I’m ready to paaar-tay shop till I drop.

2. Are you a price conscious shopper?

I’m always up for a bargain, yes, but I also believe in love at first sight. If I see something I’ve just gotta have, my brain releases endorphines enshophines that make me blind to everything else!

3. What store could you spend HOURS in?

Hard to say, I have found love in the most unlikely stores. If I fall in love and one thing leads to another, it could well end up becoming a full-blown retail romance.

4. What is the most frivolous purchase you’ve ever made?

It’s got to be something I’ve bought and never used. These days, with 2 kids in college, I can’t afford to be as impulsive any more.

5. What was the last thing you bought for yourself?

A ruffle top from Macy’s.

 

This week, I’ve handpicked a few dresses that a mom could wear on a night out. I know, nights out aren’t a regular feature in many a mom’s life but you shouldn’t pass up the opportunity for some ‘me’ time either.

Trust me, taking even just a few hours away from your kids (no matter how hard it may seem) will be a great refresher both for you and the kids. Absence does make the heart grow fonder, I think.


Reiss Penny COLOUR BLOCK DRESS

Penny is a sophisticated monochrome Reiss shift dress which makes for a fabulous new season choice. Penny is sleeveless, knee length and has a loose and elegant fit, just perfect for camouflaging any small imperfections you think you may have.


Reiss Leigh DRESS WITH DRAPE NECKLINE

This steel Reiss dress with drape neckline and black waist band is very flattering on your figure. Wear with black heels for a contemporary evening look.


Reiss Kimmy LACE JERSEY DRESS

The jersey fabric gives this Reiss dress a subtle shape of its own designed to accentuate and flatter your figure. With a nude slip underneath, the Kimmy lace dress is modern and elegant and the perfect evening wear option. Simply slip it on and prepare to be swept off your feet instantly.


Reiss Anna TRAPEZE DRESS

Anna is a 1971 Reiss simple but chic 1971 Reiss black dress with a ruffle hem. With its short sleeves, round neck and flowing lines, it’s the perfect dress to hide any imperfections such as flabby arms, mid-section and thighs. Don’t you just love a dress that does all the work for you?

Reiss is where Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, routinely shops for the dresses we’ve seen her wearing at functions. As you know, Kate Middleton is known to be a very down-to-earth and thrifty royal so her wardrobe isn’t completely out of reach for mere mortals like us.

Right now, you can take advantage of the Women’s Sale at Reiss US Online and save up to 50% off these pieces, and many more that are suitable for moms. Don’t miss out. Only while supplies last.

 

With cooler weather on the way, my selections this week will definitely bring a smile to your little girl’s face. I know I’m a little biased, most of the clothes I’m featuring on Sunday Shopping are for girls but I promise to have something for the boys later :wink: .
