Going shopping today
I was catching up on laundry today, and all of my clothes are blah. (ETA: They are almost all gray or black, with the exception of my "dress" tops, which are pink and purple.) Here's an example of what I wear on a normal day:
And if I want to "dress up", I wear this:(Yes, a maternity shirt.)
I only wear flip flops in the warm enough weather and gym shoes the rest of the year. The outfits I posted above are my "leave the house" clothes. The rest of the time, I'm in pj pants with holes in them and shirts that were either DH's or my brothers (usually also with holes in them).
We have a little extra room in our budget (after bills, necessities, and savings) and I'd like to take about $100 and get some more."normal woman" clothes. I almost don't want to go to church tomorrow because everyone else wears dress pants or skirts and nice tops and literally all I have that fits are sweats and jeans.
My body shape is apple. I wear a size 18 20 jeans, XL XXL tops. I'm Pandora Charms Sale Clearance only 5'4" tall, so nothing that makes me look Pandora Charms On Sale shorter than I am. Any sort of heel on a shoe is OUT. I can't walk with them, esp. since I usually have Pandora Necklaces Clearance YDS in the Ergo when we're out walking around.
I'm working on losing weight and slimming down. I just know I won't be there before spring if I do it right, so I need some fall/winter clothes. Had a little emotional breakthrough. if you've seen the twin commercial for what not to wear, that's what I look like daily. I'm ready to not look like that anymore.
A few colorful scarves to put with your tshirts/yoga pants/jeans
A neutral pair of flats (I have a putty colored pair and they're great with black or brown)
Straight leg jeans or skinnies if you're comfortable in them
Riding boots in gray or something that will go with black or brown
Don't be afraid to wear something more fitted on top. You might feel more comfortable with a long cardigan over it. If you feel like you want a smoother look, wear high waisted shapewear Pandora Charms Clearance underneath.
If your budget is tight, I'd honestly just buy a few scarves, nice black pants or leggings and some flats. I always feel more pulled together with a scarf:)
Try some fancy second hand stores, there are some good ones in urban areas. I would stay casual since you stay at home. The thought of ever wearing dress pants just because is crazy to me!
First, get rid of everything with holes. Box up everything maternity. Burn everything that is second hand from a man. :)
I would look for some nice casual pull on pants (google landsend starfish collection) with some simple well fitting tees and tunics, plus maybe a dressy styled sweatshirt fabric cardigan (not a hoodie). I like toms shoes. For jeans get a dark wash, no whiskering, straight leg. You may need petite depending on your proportions. The bottom should not drag the ground getting frayed when you walk.
