What are you wearing?

Okay, for those of you who know me, it is no surprise that I have never been a big fan of shopping.  I'm an in-and-out kinda gal.  I'm also easily overwhelmed.  My husband, however, is a great shopper, and for the last 6 years he has bought most of the things in my closet.  Sadly, a lot of it was for work, which is no longer relevant, so that left me with next to no style after I became a SAHM.  I found myself wearing the same 5 or 6 things over and over.  So, I decided that after the baby came, I would clean out everything that I didn't absolutely love, and start fresh.  I once heard that it's easier to dress yourself when you are honest about how you spend your day.  And honestly, I spend most of my day playing bulldozer on the floor, throwing ball, and giving piggie-back rides. That narrows things down a bit.  I decided that in terms of clothing, I should stick with comfortable, fun, and easy.  So, it's taken 28 years...but I think I've finally found my own style.  I still have a few things to find, but I'm pretty pumped about my closet at this point, so I thought I'd share my favorite things.

 Easy tops- I hate layering at home.  I want simple, throw-it-on-and-go type things, and I found these along with a few others at Old Navy. 

Victorias Secret's website became my go-to. I picked up a few tunics, a new pair of leggings, and several bra tops.  Come on...a bra, already in the top.  Sold!  One less thing, right?  I can layer these under cardigans during cooler months and wear them alone in the summer.

I'm also into some edgier stuff lately.  I snagged a moto-style wool jacket, and this sheer boyfriend button-up (in black) both from VS.

P.S. You will not be seeing my undergarments as shown below

P.P.S. This chick is also sporting the ombre hair that I am obsessed with lately. I told my hair stylist I wanted to try it, and I like it!

My glasses prescription also needed updating, and I love the geek-chic square frames I've been seeing on celebs.  Found these at LensCrafters. Love them.

 I don't know why it took me so long to get on board, but I bought my first pair of Chuck Taylors and I'm a big fan.  Tennis shoes are the most practical shoe for me as a mom, and these fit the bill without being too athletic.  If my favorite black ballet flats had a baby with my nike running shoes...it would be a pair of chucks. Pretty sure I'm gonna get a second pair in a different color. 

I put the Chucks next to my navy Toms...they are friends now, chuck and tom. 

I should add that I'm working within a reasonable budget and have not paid full price for one item yet!  I even caught the glasses during the LensCrafters lense sale. 

This post may seem a little superficial, but I have found that the way I dress directly affects the way I feel.  And while yoga pants and sweats are comfy and may seem like a stay-at-home-standby, I just don't feel as good about myself or my job when I've been in them all day.  So here's to new clothes, new kicks, and a new attitude!
