A Little Intro

I am a 40 something Mother to toddler twins, Lanna and Nolan who just turned 26 months a few days ago.  Having worked all my life and now being a SAHM I, like plenty of mothers, lost herself along the way.  I am attempting to start a fashion blog to help me stir away from the Mommy uniform.  For me that uniform consist of leggings and lose tops.  I've always loved fashion and before the kids I had a side business being a personal shopper/stylist.  I also worked full time at a venture capital office so my wardrobe consists of corporate attire.  Styling women and shopping was a stress reliever, also helped that I was spending their money shopping and not my own.  I'm a bonafide shopaholic so that helped.  Once having kids I shipped all my clothes to my Moms.  It was like loosing friends.  Bye, Diane von Furstenberg, see ya later Tory Burch.  Don't be a stranger Kate Spade.  I promise I'm not a label whore or just name dropping.  I just love their aesthetics and know where to find deals.

So my journey as a new Mom started and along came stretchy pants and loose tops.  After 26 months I still have a Mommy pooch and I'm actually ok with it.  It was a struggle and a miracle to even have kids and having a pooch or a scar from my c-section is just a reminder that I was blessed to have been pregnant and now have two amazing toddlers.  But don't get me wrong, even though I love being a Mom I also miss my old self.  I am hoping that by attempting to start a fashion blog I am halfway there.  I had to tweak my wardrobe to accommodate chasing toddlers and omit party dresses or heels just because let's be honest when do I have time to party?

Leggings are a life saver.  It's easy, fun and stretchy which helps and you can dress it up or down but for this new Mom I need to go beyond leggings.

Wore this to run errands and was so comfortable. Shoes are Banana Republic, t shirt that's great for petite frame because it's short and not boxy is from Target, pants are from Nordstrom Rack and sequin floral earrings are from J Crew, most expensive piece even with the 25% off coupon.

I'm hoping to link up with WIWW at Pleated Poppy so hopefully I can figure how to do that, not much tech savvy. Stay fabulous! Rezel
