Stylish Mom

As a mom of four kids, it is difficult justifying wearing anything other than stretchy pants and an over sized shirt. (Let's be honest, I have many days like that.)
BUT ladies, it is possible to invite femininity, sexiness & style back into daily life. Even while changing diapers, or rushing the kids to ballet or karate class.
In fact I feel more feminine post children than I did prior to having kids. Something about the beauty of motherhood that radiates from the inside out.
It took me a long while to find my own style. Actually years, & it ended up being a mixture of everything. There's times when I see old pictures of myself & I think to myself: "What was I thinking?". Now I love getting ready, putting together a good outfit makes me feel good. It can get busy sometimes, & for those days I have my "go to outfits", like leggings with over sized cardigan & a bun. It's the easiest & stylish go to outfit for me.
So there's hope.
But it starts by putting down the mom jeans and sneakers and re-discovering and re-inventing yourself.
baby steps... start by just observing the simple things that you do or wear that make you have a little pep in your step. Then, try to incorporate it more often in your wardrobe.
Just putting on some lipstick, blush and mascara can make a big difference, even if you're wearing leggings and a bun.
Start off slow, then later maybe you can try more daring stuff like wearing hot pink lipstick, or wearing a bold accessory.
We all want to feel beautiful and modern. & if you don't think you're good enough to try different eyeshadow colors or put on falsies, there's always You Tube make-up tutorials, I have learn a whole lot from those.
Don't be afraid to explore fashion & try new looks.
I love being a woman & feeling feminine.
& yeah... we are all very busy trying to juggle kids, work, the hubby, but we also have to take a little time for ourselves, & look pretty.
