I feel like I have lost any style that I ever had. Not trying to impress anyone at all, but still would like to feel good about myself.
My best friend and I have been talking lately about style and feeling good. I know mostly it is a mental thing. I know people that look great in a tshirt and blue jeans and flip flops with their hair in a pony tail and no makeup. If I try that look I look awful.
What is style, how do you find your style and as a mom of 3 young children when do you have time for style.
I like all different looks. I like to get dressed up at times, I like to be dressed down sometimes and then the in between look at casual dressy (meaning blue jeans and nicer shirt).
I think some people are just born with style. I love the timeless look of Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn and Princess Grace
Im a mom and a wife and I know they dont care totally how I look, or dress (except for Jake who told me the other day that I had messy hair bc I fixed it different than normal, just trying something different, I thought it was nice)
These days im lucky if I get to fix my hair and put on makeup. I have 2 pair of blue jeans that I like and I wear the craziness out of them and I have one shirt that I love and If I wasnt scared people would talk I would wear it everyday, just love the way I feel and look in it (Jodie told me to get one in every color - and yea I thought about it)
Its not really important, but it does make a difference if you feel good about yourself. I know my husband loves me the way I am but it also feels nice when I feel good and I can still turn his head.
My style now is Momma - spit up on my shoulder, blue jeans for comfort, and maybe a good hair day. But it all good in the eyes of my family.
I feel ya! Nothing in my closet was fitting, so I finally made a trip to TJ Maxx and purchased 3 pairs of capris (black, white, & khaki) and a few shirts to mix and match with them. I picked colors that I knew I already had shoes and maybe a necklace to wear with. It made me feel so much better not to have on stretchy pants! I also got some new moisturizer. My skin has been so dry since pregnancy. That is about as fashionable as I can get right now! I can't do the no make-up and ponytail either!
ReplyDeleteIf you're like me, you wear whatever is clean and not wrinkled too bad. ;) No doubt, I go to work every day with some form of Molly leftovers like baby food she blew on my shirt or drool she rubbed on my face. It's just part of it, but I think it's funny. Style goes out the window in the south anyway. It's not like we really know how to dress down here anyway. :) Be sure to pick on your mom about the flip flops she wore today (Thursday).
