I struggle with making myself and my well-being a priority. I often put my work, others, my home, and my worries, above taking care of myself. I am realizing that when I put some extra time into taking care of myself and looking good, I feel a lot better.
I have been thinking about doing outfit posts, to encourage you and me to dress it up a bit more. I hope to show some fun casual "Every Day" style, and some "Work" style, and some of my vintage shop items styled.
You may be at a totally different place than I am when it comes to spending time on your appearance.
You may need to shave off minutes you spend in front of the mirror. If you are spending too much time in front of a mirror and that should change, I would like to encourage you to do that.
However for me, when I begin to get natural dreads in my hair and wear the same jeans every day, I know it is a time to make a change and do a little act signifying making my well-being a priority.
p.s. Some of my most favorite bloggers such as Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky, Amanda from Here's to Looking at Me Kid, occasionally do outfit posts which is fun. Make sure to check those styling ladies out!
What do you do which really shows you that you are taking care of your self?
i love your thought behind this. I've always shyed away from outfit posts. I work at a place where the dress code is extremely casual. I have to push myself to dress up and not fall into a place of just being comfortable. I always feel better when I dress it up, even if it's just a little bit.
ReplyDeleteLove this. I look at it as a personal challenge. To have fun with how I express myself in clothing and to rethink what I already have. Thanks for sharing your garb with us :)
ReplyDeleteI love this and your gorgeous outfit posts! I really love doing outfit posts, it's helped me build my confidence and really think about what I wear and develop my own style. Looking forward to seeing more of your outfits.

I, too, would like to do more outfit posts on my blog. However, it is dark when I leave/come home from work. But I look forward to starting this in the spring. :) I agree, too, that I have been in a jeans "rut" as of late. It's time to get creative and put some sparkle in my step. xo
ReplyDeleteAnna, I am so glad I read your post when I did because as I am inspired by bloggers like you, I get so excited to bring outfit posts to my blog, but a lot of times get lost in the other parts of my life, lose motivation, or what's worst lose confidence in myself and feel like I may not be as cool as I think.
ReplyDeleteI love that you pretty much read my mind and allowed me to remember that it is about taking care of myself as well as expressing myself - and it doesn't need to feel overwhelming :)
Thank you :)
Outfit posts is something I've never tried, but do I like seeing others. For me dressing up everyday is something I do entirely for myself. Currently I am on maternity leave but before that I worked from home. Although I don't see anyone during the day (except my little one) getting up and getting dressed into something I deemed as cute makes me feel good about my self and gives me inspiration.
