Rediscovering my Personal Style after Motherhood

November 7, 2018 · In: Fashion

I’m sitting here getting ready for a photoshoot tomorrow and I’m second guessing my outfit choices. I have 3 options that coordinate with the other girls I am collaborating with on this photoshoot. I was happy with what I had until, I tried on the dress and start picking myself apart. I wondered if it was too short, if my legs were too big, if I was too old to be wearing it or if it was okay for a mom? I’m having trouble rediscovering my style after motherhood.

I like the dress and I’m sure if I was to see it on someone else it would be amazing but something about wanting to wear it myself gave me pause. See, back before I was a mom I was known for my style and how I put my clothes together. Honestly, I love fashion, but that love got lost amidst life with children. Having been single and focused on my kids for so long, style got put on the back burner and convenience took it’s place. I have resorted to yoga pants and t-shirts as an everyday wardrobe.

I haven’t put real clothes in so long. To be honest, I have made very little effort in my appearance at all really. And living in a city where no one knows me makes it that much easier. I would NEVER in my home town!

style like a mother

So I just had to be honest with myself. Inside of me is this vivacious woman yet outwardly my style did not express that. There are a few reasons for it; money, people’s opinion, laziness and weight gain. Not being comfortable with my weight for a long time was a huge part of it. After having 3 children in 2 years my body is not the same. It took me a while to adjust to that.

So here I am, rediscovering my style after motherhood, ready to represent myself to the world in a better way. I honestly love what I see in the mirror these days but I have to learn how to convey that in my clothing.

So as I stand here looking into my closet of 4 inch heels I know I have some work to do. First I need to get rid of the clothing that is no longer serving me. The pieces that I have no longer represent who I am as a person. I need to find my style again. I love how fun clothing is and how good it feels when you get it right and rock your style with confidence.

First off, forget them people! Respectfully… Bu First off, forget them people! Respectfully…

But, I get it!  Most times we lack confidence worrying about other people’s opinion on this or that, but… 

- Stop trying to prove people wrong and prove yourself right! This is about you. You overcoming your fears. You finding the audacity to be great. You pursuing YOUR best life.

- Surround yourself with people that pour into you. Having the right support system is essential. It helps you ignore the noise around you. Join an online group, meetup with positive people local to you.

- Figure out the area you lack confidence in and build yourself up in that area.

- Feel the fear and do it anyway! You gotta just push through. Keep working. Keep showing up. Keep building.

Save this post and reference it when you feel self doubt creeping in.

It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a product It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a productive week! 

Here are a few things I do to make sure the business and the babies are setup for success:

- Write down everything I need to get done this week on Sunday. I literally do a brain dump of all the things.

- Then I prioritize these things from most important to least! …because let’s be real I wanna do everything but there’s only so much time in the day 😂 

- Then I schedule the first 3 things in my planner for Monday. I like to see it here and put in Google calendar.

- I plan, shop, and prep all my meals for the week on Sunday too. Because who got time for “What y’all wanna eat?” everyday lol 

- Lastly I’m trying to make room for IG this week because that hasn’t been a priority. But @planoly is coming in clutch for me.

So I’m implementing the strategy: if you fail to plan, you plan to fail! And I’m planning to get it done this week!!!

Share this with an entrepreneur that could use it!

When I left corporate, it was for my kids! I was When I left corporate, it was for my kids!

I was tired of paying 2 mortgages in daycare cost, working all day and only seeing them for a few hours in the evening. Then, the hassle I’d get when I needed to take off for them!

#Workingmoms don’t get enough credit!!!! It’s a JOB in itself juggling it all…..let’s not get into the last 2 years. 🙄

My plan was to make it through their daycare days, but I done got out here an built an empire!

Don’t tell me God ain’t good!!

So, yeah. I’m gonna be right here, taking care of my babies.

Working moms, stay at home moms, work at home moms, bonus moms, expectant moms…….all y’all, I see you!
