Cute clothes for women, that’s what we think about when you think fashion blog. But then I share that I’m a mom, and people say they never would’ve guessed, and look at my outfit. Who says that the second we become Moms, or Dads, that we’re relegated to mommy jeans and cardigans? Though it would be hilarious to see a Dad in mommy jeans. But I digress.
I firmly believe that style is not relegated to one stage of life, or to one age of life. Style, in my mind, is a reflection of where you are in life, and what you’re feeling and thinking in that moment of time. It’s ever in flux.
Perhaps, that’s why I don’t believe in a uniform. A uniform implies no ebb and flow. It implies a certain stagnation to me, a lack of experimentation and growth. But maybe that’s me. Maybe they’ve got it all figured out and have arrived at their true and complete selves – their personal nirvana and have no where else to go.
Me? I am ever curious about what’s around the corner.

November 18, 2013As a fellow mother, I totally agree. I have always felt this way and I've been a mother for 13 years now! If that's your style, then fine, but why should we all be confined to cardigans and jeans? I love your coat and tights!

November 19, 2013I just think that it's important not to lose who you are to your children, in every way – style, dreams, passions. In my mind the best role model is one that lives a life fulfilled. I think you agree 😉
