Staying Comfortable

The problem with comfort being the drive in what clothes you choose to wear is that the line of what is comfortable starts to blur based on how you feel and what comfort means in the moments when you are choosing from your closet. I think this is what has happened with me, I mean, besides low energy because of trying to keep up with my busy life. I use blue jeans as a mask/comfort - they're so easy to wear, they match  just about anything, you can wear them during all seasons, and with any type of shoe. So, this post is going to be about blue jeans alternative that inspire me. These aren't all available in plus-sizes, but they will serve as a look book for me.

These would be a stretch for me color-wise, but I love the mixed patterns between the shirt and the polka dots.

Mommy Fashion Redo

Years ago, it feels like light years as I think of it now, but realistically around 10 years ago, I was considered the "fashionable" friend in my group and felt proud that I had the clothes, jewelry, shoes that friends often requested to borrow. Now, I feel like I've lost that spark and just can't seem to have any productive shopping trips where I find pieces that translate to how I want to be viewed, fit me well, are very versatile, or that I'm truly in love with. But mostly, to be honest, I'm unhappy with the way my body is different now and finding clothes that I feel comfortable in BECAUSE they fit well is just plain hard! Just to add another layer to this, I am also plus-sized. It is already difficult to find fashionable plus-sized clothes in my style, but then to further narrow that down to what

This blog is going to start off with what inspires me and I'm hoping that it can start to translate in to what I actually wear, with a safe Mommy feel. I want to be comfortable and learn to love my new body, but I also want to take risks and am hoping to find that I can fall back in love with fashion. We'll see where it goes.
