I struggle with figuring out what to wear. Before kids, I didn’t know. And ten years after buying this What Not to Wear book (and gestating three humans) I sure don’t know any better.
So, I’m on a quest to figure out my style along with realistic, affordable ways to get there without shopping. And then I found this blog: My Year of Fabulous!
Wow! Holly is a girl after my own heart and totally doing something about it. After having her three children, she grew tired of dressing like a meth addict every day and came up with a plan (a kind of nutty “one activity for every year of your baby’s first life” kind of plan, but that’s why I love it!).
Each month, she’s going full-force into a new style. This month, she’s knee-deep in American Classic wearing the styles of the preppy and the presidential. January was sexy tough Rock n Roll, February was eclectic Euro Chic, March was Mod, and April was Bohemian. And we don’t know what’s next!
She’s got photos of her different outfits and reflections on how they make her feel. She’s having fun but keeping the goal in mind. And ps she lives on a FARM.
How does she keep it affordable? Read her secret to letting her $500 clothing budget last all year.
I discovered My Year of Fabulous from Ain’t No Mom Jeans.
Oh my gosh. I LOVE this. Great find. I’m so following these blogs! I go back and forth between really making an effort (and pulling it off- I think?) and really just needing to get out the door with clothes on (I say, as I type in my ultra comfy running pants and top that I’m going to wear all day because I took a run for 20 minutes this morning, so I deserve to be comfy all day!).
@Rebecca, I’m wearing a skort that I’ve convinced myself is a hot miniskirt. I need an intervention.
