I forgot about me!
You know when you go to your closet and think "I have nothing to wear!?" Well i have nothing to wear!
As many of you know i am going to London in a few weeks and i have realized that i have no city clothes. I dress like a farmer or someone who is just running out of the house quick aka sweat pants. I don't know what it means to dress nice all the time. All i know is how to "try" to get a stain out of a shirt. I am realizing that i might need some help to become a little more stylish. Since deciding this Pinterest has become my best friend. It always has lots of good ideas, i then stop to wonder how will that look on me? I am by no means a skinny woman! I have curves and not all are good ones. This has made me realize that i don't own nice clothing. I own mom clothing! I have leggings, yoga pants, sweat pants, regular plain t-shirts, tank tops (boring), bunny hugs or sweaters made to be warm and comfortable not nice looking.
I have been told on good authority that Londoner's are very stylish. So after looking at what i have and what i want to look like while being there, I have decided to put a little more effort into looking my best when i go out. Pinterest has given a lot of good ideas but what looks good on you and what you like are 2 totally different things. I like my sweat pants but they don't make me look good. At some point along my parenting journey i forgot to dress like a adult. I just picked out what was easy and went with that because who was i trying to impress? And if i did wear a nice shirt and pants they were sure to get stained! Since this trip does not include my children it is time to up date the closet and wardrobe! Most of the time i am that mom at school picking up kids in her sweat pants and jacket to cover up the stained shirt.
Never did i wonder how having children would change how i dressed (not that i was stylish before) but it didn't help my style mature. It made it become stagnant and dull. It made it look like i didn't care, or that i never did. That is just not the case, but at some point it became more fun to buy my kids clothes than to by myself clothes. My kids always look better than me and i always look like a hobo who can't buy herself some decent clothes. To put it into perspective i went to my nieces birthday party the other day and after looking at all my clothes i only had 1 nice shirt to wear. This trip is bringing into focus how much I forgot about myself, or forgot to take care of myself too. Also how much i don't like clothes shopping for my self ....must dash have been found by the toddler!
