Mommy Fashion or Lack Thereof lol...

When we become moms, some of us get so focused on planning meals, homework help, and grocery shopping that we kinda allow ourselves to fade into the background...believe me, I know!  As much as I loved  shoes and getting "cute", I just didn't feel up to it.

Mommy fashion for me consisted of tshirts, baggy jeans, and hoodies.  After a while I got tired of the same ol' same and looked for ways to spice up my wardrobe while staying confy.

Some staples for me include:

Leggings: See what leggings look like here

By mixing and matching colors and choosing the right shoes, leggings can be worn in any season.  Your leggings should be tight enough to snugly cover your legs, but not so tight that people can see every dimple in your legs. Make sure that they aren't so loose that they start to bunch over your legs, that is not what's hot!  Jeggings are also comfy and can help spice up an ordinary outfit.  While leggings and a top that falls to your waist is a big no-no, you can pair a short shirt with jeggings.  See jeggings here

Tunics:  what's a tunic?

Pair your tunic with "skinny" jeans, leggings, shorts or a skirt.  Accentuate the tunic's shape by wearing a belt at the waist.  Check the hem length of your tunic before you decide how to wear it. Shorter tunics do not make good dresses and sometimes cannot go with shorts. More fun ways to wear your tunic

Maxi Dresses:  click here for an example
Maxi dresses are long and loose, so you never feel self conscious or uncomfortable when wearing them.  These dresses cling to all the right places up top and are more free flowing towards the belly, which in turn makes the Maxi dress flattering on just about everybody.  The Maxi dress can be transitioned into fall wear easily, with some extra layering pieces.  Some people seem to think that a maxi dresses are for formal or dressy occasions but maxis have come to be very stylish and comfy.  Maxi dresses are my fave!   

I have a few more faves but this post is getting longer than I want it to be so we'll save that for another day!

Know that we are all beautifully made! Bye y'all! ;-)

Here I go again...

Well...it's been a while since I've written anything.  A whirlwind of events have taken place and I so was not focusing on blogging...or anything for that matter.  Part of the reason is because I relocated 6 months sooner than what was planned because of my old slumlord and another reason being that I have been wrecking my brain trying to decide what the heck to even blog about.  When I initially started this blog, I didn't even really know what a blog was supposed to be for.  A friend said, "you should start a blog" I thought "hmm, ok" and so I did start but did absolutely nothing with it...lol...

I have decided that I want to share with the world how this stay at home mommy is trying to rediscover herself, while trying to kick start a career.  I think I got lost along this journey of life once I replenished this earth with three beautiful babies but I'm back baby!  My love for fashion, fitness, family and food will make this blog pretty interesting but please bare with me as I figure all of this out.  I'm a mommy on a mission to occupy my time with stuff other than playdates, and couponing.  So stay tuned, this ought to be pretty interesting as I don't even know what to expect...
