What I'd Wear Wednesday: Silk vs. snot

What I'd wear today if I could: something different like this silk tunic by Laundry by Design. I wouldn't wear it as a dress, though, but a top over jeans. I hardly ever wear blue, but I dig navy.

See, I get a little tired of cotton T-shirts. Sometimes I wear a wrap top or, like today, a button-front shirt (with my camo sneakers!). So when I saw this silk top, I melted. Can't a mama wear silk?

But here's the thing. Have you ever seen a slug and the trail it leaves behind as it moves? Fly has been leaving a trail on my shoulders (and JP's). The poor boy's nose has a leak. You don't have to be a rocket surgeon (as JP would say) to know snot trails and silk don't mix.

But maybe it's not so much a fabric thing as it is a color thing? For example, would the snot look less noticeable on a white shirt, whether that white shirt is cotton or silk?

Only a mama would ask.

Who am I kidding? Sigh, this is not a shirt to wear around a toddler....
