Fashion Beginner

Growing up, I was always two to three years late when it came to what was hip in the fashion world. Even though I was the oldest of six kids, and didn't have to suffer from hand-me-downs, getting new clothes was a privilege. And going through puberty a bit early, didn't help - being taller and a bit bigger than all my classmates made me a bit self conscience. So, jeans and sweats with a sweatshirt was my normal wardrobe (especially in junior high).

About half way through high school, I lost a bit of weight and got a job, so I was able to buy the clothes that were "in," while they were still hip. However, not used to being so thin, I was still very self conscience about my body.

After graduating, and going to a few different colleges (because I couldn't make up my mind when it came to choosing a major), I never really had a job that was worth "dressing" for - working with kids, you don't necessarily want to be wearing anything nice. But now that I finally got my dream job as an interior designer, and I have my own office, my fashion sense has come full force.

Now what girl does not love shopping? I know I do! However, when I shop, I am always looking for a deal of some sorts. Whether it's an online promo code, waiting for a coupon in the mail, or using a gift card. I rarely ever pay full price when I go clothes/shoe shopping.

I have gotten lots of compliments on my outfits recently, and have even been told to put a picture of one on Pinterest (which I did)! So, now I want to share my daily outfits and secrets of buying with you.

Now, even though I am once again struggling with my weight, I have fought back my embarrassment of not wearing what I want, just because I'm a little bit bigger than I used to be. I have matured and realized that I can still look good, no matter what weight I am at. You always hear those women who say they don't want to dress fashionable because they aren't happy with their weight, and until they lose that weight, they just dress in drab. That's how I felt for awhile, but everyone goes through their own struggle of weight loss, and it can take who knows how long to lose that extra weight. So, why wait that long to look good? That's why I'm here, to tell you about how to dress fab, without breaking the bank!

I hope you find my blog helpful, and enjoy :)
