healthy food, lifestyle, travel, & everyday moments.
It’s in the 80s here right now (ugh) but in general, it’s cooling down, raining more, and the trees are starting to turn–sure signs that autumn is on the way.
I always look forward to pulling out the fall clothes because I am 100% a fall weather girl when it comes to my wardrobe. It’s the one time of year I have to stop myself from buying too many new clothes. There are so many cute sweaters in the world and not enough money or closet space for all the ones I want!… Read More »
I was not blessed in the sense of style department, pretty much from birth. My mom has a home video of preschool-aged Claire happily jumping around the living room in messy curls, black and white checkered leggings, a pink dress with multicolored flowers on it, and yellow socks. That pretty much sums up my fashion life from ages 0 through 25 😛
It didn’t occur me until my late 20s that even if I wasn’t born stylish–and didn’t seem to develop that muscle during my teenage years, as I felt like many did–I could work on my personal style like any other project: trying new things, making mistakes and learning from them. So refining and adding to my wardrobe has been something I’ve been actively trying at for about three years now (hey, better late than never). … Read More »
We’ve had the most dull and sniffly week, so instead of a Life Lately post today, I thought I would share my thoughts on my winter wardrobe from this year.
Over the past few months I’ve taken to only having clothes in my closet for the current season and I love it! I like to see exactly what I have to work with that day. It lends itself to wearing clothes that might otherwise get stuffed in the back of my closet and forgotten about (my pashmina scarf has gotten a workout lately, although I’ve owned it for years and barely worn it). And, it’s easier to pick out the outliers for a future Goodwill donation.… Read More »
You can read part 1, part 2 and part 3 of my wardrobe revamp series here.
Something I realized after getting rid of two-thirds of my wardrobe? I didn’t actually know what my personal style was anymore. Sure, I knew what it wasn’t; but that didn’t exactly help me in building a new wardrobe.
When you’ve bounced from high school wannabe designer girl, to college party girl, to college-student-wearing-sweatpants-24/7, to budget maternitywear after getting pregnant at 23… you have some serious fashion confusion.… Read More »
Just to clarify (hehe), this post is NOT sponsored by Knickey. I’m simply sharing a new-to-me product that I’ve tried and want to review for you!
Update 10/2023: My underwear purchased for this review is still going strong 18 months later. It basically looks like new! No holes, fraying, or stretched out elastic… Knickey is definitely a high-quality brand.
Last year, I decided to update my wardrobe for my new mom life. I sold or donated most of the things I bought in high school or college, and I’m in the process of rebuilding my wardrobe and refining my style to fit a 27-year-old mom of two.
However, while focusing on finding tops, jeans, dresses, etc. that I love–for a while I kind of forgot about the most essential wardrobe item: underwear. And yes, my Modest Millie self is totally cringing that I’m actually writing about this–but I think it will be helpful to anyone out there who finds themself in a similar, underwear-less situation.… Read More »
