I am a stay-at-home Mom of two beautiful and spirited girls. Some mornings I don't even have the energy to change out of my pajamas before 2:00pm. If I do find that energy, it's still a struggle to put together an outfit that fits me well, that I feel confident in, and that I am proud of.

I was inspired by this article and if you get a chance, go and read it and be inspired yourself!
