Weekday clothing and what I find works for me!

A few years ago a well meaning ‘friend’ of mine suggested that maybe I should stop wearing make-up, stop doing my hair and dress down more when dropping my boys off at school in the morning.  She felt that it might help me “fit in better”.

It was in that exact moment, I knew what I wanted – I didn’t want to dress down, I wanted to wear what I wanted, when I wanted, because not only did it look good on me, it made me feel good on the inside too.

Why was that so important to me?  Because if I looked in the mirror & liked what I saw, I felt good inside. For me it was all tied up to my confidence. I wanted to start my days feeling confident and happy.  I didn’t want to give up that part of myself up; to go back to feeling insecure and unconfident.

When you start dressing better, people notice.  It’s inevitable.  Making an effort doesn’t require much.

So, here are a couple of my absolutely favourite outfits which make me feel happy, confident and ready to face the day.  They’re not ultra fancy, they’re what I find comfy and what helps me to feel good about myself.

Shall we take a look?

Weekday Clothing – My Favourite Look 1!

[/fusion_title][fusion_text]

I like to feel comfortable in what I’m wearing because in the day I’m usually doing a million things all at once.  Working from home, making school runs to grabbing ingredients for dinner.  That’s where jeans come in. For me they’re comfortable as well as practical. Plus, it doesn’t take much to turn it into an outfit that makes you feel good.

Here I’ve paired them with a cute tee, a lovely waterfall cardi and some bright red flats to add a bit of colour.  I always love a bag I can just sling over my shoulder and fill up with items like a water bottle, snacks as well as my favourite lippy.

Weekday Clothing – My Favourite Look 2!

[/fusion_title][fusion_text]

A good body con dress is always part of my wardrobe; it makes me feel sexy.  But, I’m also a bit fussy, I like to be comfortable too, so a cotton fabric is a must.  I find the spandex type of fabrics, cling to too many little lumps and that just makes me wonder if everyone else is noticing those tiny lumps and bumps too.

This dress here is cute with the stripes and it gives my body a little bit more shape. The great part about it is I can pair it with the cardi from Look 1, or wear it with my stretch cotton denim shirt.  A denim shirt makes a great, light denim jacket.  And the contouring on the shirt really gives a straight body a little bit more shape.  Simply roll the sleeves up for an awesome casual look.

The red shoes and bag do double duty and brighten up my outfit.

Weekday clothing doesn’t have to be boring; and if you’re like me, you’ll find that there is life after sweatpants.  So, what makes you feel good when you get dressed each day? What’s your favourite type of outfit and have you bought many more in the same style?  You might want to have a think about that.
