Oh how I love clothes!
I grew up getting hand me downs from my sister and cousins, so new clothes were few and far between. When I turned around 12, my grandmother taught me to sew which allowed new clothes to enter my closet at a greater pace.
I devoured all the sewing and fashion books in my library, and started to design clothes that I would sometimes make. There were epic failures, and wonderful successes that helped me in my growth as a seamstress.
My love of clothing was slightly dampened recently when I gained 20 lbs after stopping nursing my daughter. Over the course of a few years I gained weight and it has taken me a few years to get back down. It rather dampens the clothes shopping experience when you have to buy a size (or two) larger.
Now I am back down into Medium shirts and size 4-ish pants. I have a ruler build, as I call it. My waist and my hips don’t have much measurement difference. I think it makes me wear smaller sizes than I would normally, since those low cut pants fit me better. I just have to make sure the muffin doesn’t spill over.
I’m not sure what this blog will develop into. I have an idea to just post some of my favorite outfits I put together. Maybe a little talk on fashion, but I’m not expecting a discussion with me, myself and I. I’m not really going to try to get a readership for this blog.
So…
These are my stylish adventures as a CPA married mother of two younguns. My attempt at being stylish at least. I want to prove that you can have young children, and still look nice. As narcissistic as it really is, I feel better when I look better.
Onward…
Me…before I cut my hair off for the second time
