Before and After

Not furniture. 
Worse.

Here i am. Momma of a toddler.
Did I mention it's a HE? 

This is just a typical day: 


After some primping, serious spot covering, eye lash curling etc... 

This is what we get: 


Under eye make up is a must for me. 
With some foundation, blush, liquid eye liner, mascara, and lipstick
--- not so scary!

 What was I wearing, you ask? 
Cardigan: Kohl's. Everything else: thrifted.

I'm not quite a thrift store queen per se, 
but if I was called that- I wouldn't correct anybody :) 

The button up top is striped and has a nautical feel which I love. 
Oh, and it's at least 2 sizes too big. 
Hence the belt and cardigan. 

***With thrift store shopping- size is arbitrary. 
It's not like you can go and find the top you like,
 shuffle through until your size and then call it quits.

If you find a style/print you like- you'll make the size work. 

I don't have a cool chunky necklace- but if I did- that's what I would have worn. 

------------------------
Just like most girls, I have "the size."
The size that I want to get to- the one that means I'm skinny
 (whatever the heck that means.)

I've been exercising and have started to feel much better about myself. 
I am FAR from "the size."
I may never get there. 

But in the mean time- I don't have to be frumpy. 
I used to think that until I get "there" that I can't feel good. 
 I can't look pretty.
I can't feel pretty. 

So not true, chicas!
Be bold. Look cute. Feel pretty. 
No matter what size you are. 
{or aren't.}

wow. Freeing.  
 
Anyways- what do you think? 
What would you have changed about the outfit?
I love getting different ideas.
