Dressing up for the day

Becoming a stay at home mom has been amazing!  I realized that it's been a year now! I worked full time for almost the whole first year after caden was born where I dressed up every day and dressed down on weekends.  So far I feel like I've been dressing down every day since I started staying home.  I still had the mind set of dressing up (nice) only when I was going somewhere like dinner, or a date.  Why get all dolled up when the only place I am going is the grocery store? 

Then I started to feel like a bum.  And I felt bad for Jeremy seeing me in workout clothes all the time. haha!  So recently I've made the decision to dress nice no matter what is going on that day.  Even if I go to the gym, then Caden's swimming lessons and then work outside during Caden's nap. I take a shower and throw on a comfy dress and I feel so much better!  There's something about what you wear that reflects how you feel dont you think?  I wear bummy clothes and I feel lazy and not very attractive.  I put on a cute outfit and I am ready to get things done and feel pretty doing it! ;)

So today even though I'm not going ANYWHERE because I feel yucky and have the worst headache. I still got dressed and i feel just a tiny bit better because i'm not sitting around in my pj's ;)  Here's my OOTD!

  1. I completely agree! I've been feeling super frumpy and down and I decided to straighten my hair, put on some make-up and a cute dress. And I felt better instantly! :)

    You look great, by the way! I LOVE your blog, too!
