Style Sacrificed

Posted May 30, 2007 at 1:09PM by cosmoblue

 

After reading karriejean's post about her post baby body I started thinking about how I looked and it's effect on my self-esteem. I do not care for the way I look right now. I don't know why really as I don't look that different than I used to I am the same size as I was pre baby just a little "softer" in some places. My husbband still says that I am gorgeous and sexy. Then last night I was looking at my May issue of Domino and I realized that I was going through the magazine and seeing things that I like, but then saying to myself that it is not practical to have a chair like that with DD. What?! All of the decor and clothing that I used to like I have been telling my self that I can't wear them or use them now because I am a mom. This is a major problem because I am a fashion designer. I am a fashion designer who has sacrificed my style for Mommy Martyrdom. That is absurd. Other moms can look fantastic. I live in LA I see it all the time. What is wrong with me? How do I make a change? I have no idea. I started with the Flylady's thing about getting dressed to the shoes. But I have ended up in jeans and a tee shirt everyday. I have never worn make-up so I haven't been able to start. What's a girl to do? Well then as I was continuing through my magazine I found an article about Carrie & Danielle and their style statement service. After an hour interview they give you a two word style statement. I have decided that if I find an extra $500 lying around (haha) I am going to try to get this or something like this done. It would help me define and refine my style intention.

  I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!

I know what you mean about the jeans & a tee. After I had my 2nd no matter how big I was I made an effort to wear nice jewery - nothing pricey, just cute stuff that made me feel put together, like I made an effort. That a little gloss and I felt much better. Question, after $500 do they give you a game plan or just a statement? I hope they also give you some clothes or a hug for that price too! Baby steps so to speak, start with sexy jean and a shirt that makes your curves and cleavage work!

They do give you a Life Style Map and if you go to their studio they give you tea and cookies, I'll bet you can get a hug or two thrown in.
