Fallen Off the Fashion Wagon

Clothing and fashion is something that I have always liked, though I’m not the kind of person that can shop till I drop or have a problem saying no to the stores, but I love finding something super fashionable that is cheap, cute, and me.

Since getting pregnant I have felt that I have fallen long and hard from the wonderful world of fashion. With having to wear maternity cloths for 7 months of my pregnancy, gaining 55 pounds while being pregnant, and still have yet to return to my post pregnancy body; I feel like I am out of fashion and a tad shabby. I can’t break myself down to buy new cloths cause I know in a few months I will be back into my old fashionable cloths, whether or not I will be needing the help of duct tape is yet to be known. So until then, I have some cheats to help me look stylish savvy until I can slip into or pour myself into my beautiful cloths.

Tip One – Long Necklaces
Picking a cute long beaded necklace really makes any outfit look more in. I have a couple. Some really long ones with lighter colors and others that are not as long with earthy colors. I just make sure I have at least one that goes with almost anything.


Tip Two – Head Bands
I love love love these. Especially since getting my hair in the morning is usually what takes a back seat. I can usually get in a shower, put my make-up on (mostly)…and sometimes even get some kind of work out, but it seems without fail that little Lucy will wake up right when I start blow drying my hair. And I don’t know about you all, but my hair is not the kind that needs to be blown dry….not air dried! So it is either all or nothing when is comes to the hair and that is where the head band steps in. They can make messy hair or a pony tail look fancier and more planned, then on the days I slack off I can actually come out looking not half bad. I especially love that it can make a more laid back outfit put together.




Tip Three – Flat Shoes
Okay, I might have a big soft spot for these because they are a life saver for me. I am 5’10 and I get a little self conscience about my height and these keep girls, like me, from having to tower over all the guys. There are nose jobs, boob jobs, brow lifts, but what about the Amazon Women of the 21st century? These beautiful flat shoes have helped many of us, while also looking fabulous! I love the look of these shoes and love how you can usually find them pretty cheap too.




Tip Four – Empire Waist Shirts
This might not be the cheapest tip, but I can’t help but mention this because I love how they look. These high waist shirts not only are in demand, but are flattering on anyone. They can make a tinny woman look cute and slender while helping some women hide some of the curves they are not in a hurry to show off. Plus, my favorite part…. I love being able to not worry about me muffing topping over my jeans because the shirts hides it sooooo well! (Muffin Top is the stuff that flubs over your jeans)

So if you head to a Target, all that is needed is about $30 and you can get your self a cute necklace, fun head band, and maybe if your lucky some shoes! And so we can all have a fresher wardrobe for not too much!
