Fighting Frumpy

As a new mom, it is so easy to slip a little too far into the comfort mindset and further away from style.  Constantly my mind is on the baby, dinner, work the next day.  I have little to no time to think about what I look like.  I can use this as an excuse and continue feel frumpy or I can say that I will make time for what is important to me.  I'm not trying to be the most stylish person I know but am really talking about wanting to feel good about myself again.  Taking a few minutes to paint my nails a bright color, put on lipstick and try that new braid I found on pinterest-  These things affect more that just the outside, those few extra minutes can energize me again.

I think it is important to be the best I can be each day and feeling fresh and put together on the outside is a part of this.  I remember that when I was little my mom made it a priority to take care of herself- by getting dressed early and adding a touch of lipstick every day.  She wore easy to wear comfortable dresses and always looked put together.  This has always stood out in my mind.

Since having my baby I have freshened my wardrobe a bit but mostly for work.  On the weekends, I find myself fighting the frumps.  So I am on a quest to pick up a few key wardrobe pieces that will enhance what I already have and pull everything together in a fresh new way.

Edgy-Versatile- Fresh

Last week, I found a few things.  These Minnetonka Mocs.  They are so comfy and the studded detail make them look less casual.  I can see myself wearing these for the rest of the summer into the fall.  I bought the brown #502's.  I love them!

I love wearing scarves and found one with a fun navajo print.  It is super lightweight which is perfect for these last few weeks of summer.  I wore this to work on casual day but this also is a perfect wrap to throw in my bag and would work with a super casual outfit on the weekend.

These two finds have already brightened up my weekend wardrobe. Hooray!  More to come as I slowly rebuild my wardrobe.
