Blogging.
Who on earth would have known I would become a blogger…and a fashion blogger at that.
5, 10 years ago I would have been the least likely girl to EVER show off any type of styling photos and would have never had a single tip to give any one on how to look good. Even having worked as an Assistant Manager at American Eagle, I was always dressing on the more “homely” side, always wearing a t-shirt and jeans because it was easy and wearing my hair pulled back in a pony tail because I hated my curls and had no idea how to properly maintain the beast.

It wasn’t until after a few years of owning my own gift shop that I realized that if I wanted to sell it, I had to wear it! There was something about seeing a product on a human being and not a sitting on a store shelf that made all the difference! I started giving a hoot about what I was wearing and soon realized that that little extra effort I put into making myself presentable actually made me FEEL GOOD!
I had never realized it.
When I dressed frumpy, I felt frumpy, but when I felt that I looked good, I FELT GOOD.
Moms are the worst at putting themselves at the very bottom of the list but we cannot do that to ourselves. I promise that if you’d put yourself up a few notches, it would do wonders for you. I’m by no means saying go out and spend tons of money on yourself. Use what your have in your closet. Layer. Mix and match. Almost anything goes nowadays and you just have to step outside of your comfort zone a bit.
Sometimes I win and sometimes I fail, but I always own it. Self confidence is something a lot of us lack and you just have to find it and be proud!
You can do it!
