I love my twenty year-old daughter, she is my right hand. She rarely asks for anything so when it is Christmas time I try to get her most of what is on her list, although I have set a budget so that all my children have realistic lists.
She had already submitted the Christmas list for 2009,
I thought.
Then I received this email- ( sorry my girl if you're reading this I had to share)
MOTHER,
I have thought of other Christmas gifts if my budget has yet to be fulfilled..
-black blazer (no shoulder pads obviiiouslyyyyy) a couple girls have them here and they look adorable as like a going out over a tank to the bar type thing
-Tan sperry's..I ordered blue and white ones two months ago but they were too small so I had to send them back/have yet to so I might as well wait for christmas at this point..Actually before I send them back do you want them? I have up to a year to return them anyways.. They're an eight, If not i'll just send them back..
OKAYYYY love you : )
First off,
Interesting, a blazer... to wear to... a bar.
She is twenty.
I guess she isn't even bothering to pretend.
As if I didn't know anyway.
But the clincher is a black blazer.
I need more details!
See below. Don't all those blazers look alike, just different models?
They're four different blazers!! And that's just J Crew.
Which of these do you like if you were going to a bar underage and might end up in jail?
Which would look best behind bars? ( as in prison)
And, do I really want her reject Sperry's that she is obviously NOT bringing back cause it sounds like it might be too late or she lost the receipt or something?
I love my girl.

I'm sorry, all I can do is laugh. Because I've been there.
i had the BEST fitted long black blazer to wear out to the bars back in the day....
Tell her to check the JC site herself and send you the link to the one she wants :O)
Like mom on the run...I had to laugh a little.
At least she is asking for a blazer and not a bong and a box of condoms like one of my friends boys asked for! (she THINKS he was joking).
A sharp blazer...you can never go wrong :)
Motr, I know, we have a lot in common!
Trifit- it is a good classic item. Welcome by the way. At first I thought you were feener by your writing style!
Comment deleted- is my poor sister. She left a nice comment but there were too many names in it, sorry B.
Surb- good advice.
Ohn- Can't pretend that the condoms wouldn't of thrown me either- there are sooo many brands! Lol
the first one for sure
I like the top one too!
Adorable note, funny and thoughtful! "Mother"...
Get her a classic blazer she can wear on interviews too... I'd wear #1, but it may be too "old" for her!
Oh, I'm sure there are a lot of shoulder pads in J. Crew!!! LOL
I have not had a list in years... but when I did, it came the morning of Christmas Eve... I've stopped asking! (having 1 son is EASY)!
Congrats on your award
Honestly, how fun - I can;t wait until my daughter is a little older to make these requests or to offer me a pair of shoes!
She is such a doll Miss Player, and I love that she's not pretending. The only thing I can think of from having been around several early twenties young ladies of late is their love for shorter jackets. I don't know if that's applicable or not, but thought it wouldn't hurt to throw it in the mix.
Have a fab weekend!

#2 has my vote!
You are killing me!! Now I want a black blazer from J.Crew. I have a problem.
I'm still looking for an over a tank to the bar type thing myself. :-) too, too funny.
Rugby by Ralph Lauren has some great ones. My teen daughter got a fabulous tight fitting blue one. They are very in this year.
