Today I wore a new dress to school, with a little vest, and my barcelona boots. I even wore eyeliner. I felt good. I used to really love fashion. I'd pour over the newest W magazine and fantasize about Christian Louboutin heels. To say life has shifted a bit is an understatement. These days most of my fashion budget goes to OshKoshB'Gosh or the yarn store. With my body shifting and the gaining and loosing of 45 pounds 2 times in the last 5 years, fit was a priority--not fashion. Seriously, I have gone from 110 pounds (healthy on my 5'3" frame) to 155, back down to 105, back up to 155 and now a comfortable 11o again...nursed 2 babies--gone from cup size a to dd, back to a, back up to dd and now a comfortable c in 5 years! I was reluctant to buy anything to snazzy during the post partum times, knowing that I'd either loose the last pounds or get preggers again.
I'm not saying I really let myself go...but I didn't put much thought into my outfits (cleanish? fits? good to go!). But this Mama...oh this Mama was totally inspired by a
blogpost to clean out my closet, put away all the saggy butt stuff that is too big and get my sassy butt into some cute clothes...Turns out, I have a lot of good stuff in my wardrobe already...and I'm looking forward to adding cute pieces slowly...when I'm inspired (Okay...I want like the entire
Anthropologie catalogue right now!).
It might seem cliche, but when you look good...you feel good. It also feels great to rediscover a little bit of Kim again.

I want to see a picture of you in your new cute outfit!!
Its easy to get into a clothing rut. I have lots of clothes and still pick out the ill fitting cloths from college. (Not flattering)
I just ordered the cutest mugs from anthro...they should be here this week! And, I fell in love with this lamp-

Once I pay bills, I think I might use some of my tax return and treat myself to it. I think it is the most adorable thing ever, and most of my furniture in my little apartment is hand-me-downs, so I think that buying it is okay :)
Love, Alexis xox
These are the mugs-

I bought the L-O-V-E and I want a little pot of tea roses for each, and then will put them in a row on a shelf in my kitchen. So, so cute!
xoxo again!
very cute! I love anthroplogie....my cafe au lait bowls from there have all broken now! sad me!
Ugh, fashion and I are just not friends... I wish I were as fashionable as you :) I figure if I stick with jeans and clean t-shirts, I can't go wrong!
