Spring Layers to Love with LOFT

March 2, 2019

**This post is in collaboration with LOFT, as always all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to LOFT for sponsoring today’s post to talk about a really fun spring look! I put this look together for a fun “dress down” day for the office, (although this is pretty dressed up for me) or even a fun baby shower look! At the office everyone expects a blazer, but a pink one?! Yes, please! You know I don’t like to go far from my denim, and today is no different! This pair isn’t distressed, but I’m loving the upscale fray at the hem. Add in the pop of leopard with the top and this look is trendy with the elevated look of layering that is so fun and fresh for spring!

I’ve shared in my personal story before that I haven’t always been able to find clothes for myself easily, I have been shopping at LOFT for a while now not only because of the in trend styles — but also for the fit. Sizing inclusivity is one of my favorite things about LOFT. I LOVE that ladies of all shapes and sizes are able to find clothing that makes us all feel good!

I hope you enjoyed today’s look, thank you so much for stopping by! As always, I can’t wait to see how you style it!

Floral + Gray and getting REAL personal.

April 23, 2018

My weekends tend to be crazy booked and this past was no different! Being able to to have some time to organize my thoughts and myself really is so good for me!

I also have been reflecting a bit about my “Why” and what my purpose is here with this blog and what I decide on for the content of it. I did dive into this a bit on my Instagram Story Highlights, on why I created TheMomInStyle, and what I feel my passions are. Feel free to take a look at that as well, but I feel I can at this time go a bit deeper. See, there was a LONG period of time in my life where I felt completely unfulfilled in inadequate. I felt I had no strength physically or mentally. My days dragged on, I felt I had no purpose and didn’t really know what I was doing with my life. I used alcohol and food to make myself feel temporarily better. Do that for several years, my mind and my body couldn’t really take much more.

One day, pregnant with my second baby, I felt like I couldn’t breathe just walking in the parking lot of a store. I know when you’re pregnant, things tend to be a little off, but I KNEW deep down inside, I had eaten myself to a weight that my body could no longer handle. In that moment I felt disgusted with myself and snapped. I knew that I could no longer do this to myself, and I vowed to MYSELF and FOR my boys- I would turn this around.

BUT HOW?! When you get so deep into something, and you create such horrible habits for yourself, and your negative self talk is SO STRONG.. HOW do you actually turn it around? When I gave birth the second time, I was JUST shy of 300 lbs. So where do you start? What I did was educate myself, on food, exercise and heathy habits. I surrounded myself on Facebook, Instagram with accounts that I felt were going through the same thing as me.

This education/workout videos/ friendships eventually snowballed into more and more curiosity on how I can be the BEST version of myself. (You guys when I started I LITERALLY walked a MILE in my basement or did 30 minutes on the elliptical.) My Mantra has been “My life will get better when I do.” and it’s still able my sink . Starting small and building from there led me to eventual success. I shed over 100lbs but my strength in my mind is something I never expected.

TODAY:

This leads me to where I am today. This blog, and my dreams of styling women- are for one purpose- to help those in the same place I was for far too long. I’m not here to preach my fitness routine, or tell you what to eat. Or even to buy my outfit. (gasp)

THE PURPOSE… is to inspire and To say ” You can too.”

You guys, its hard to put myself out there, and share so much. Going through all this though.. and the pain and struggle, its what gives me the confidence to do all this. And somewhere…. someone NEEDS THIS. I have a responsibility to share.

Life is messy ladies, and there’s so much more to MY Story than an outfit. My parents are divorced, I have a blended family, I’ve been overweight, my Dad is fighting a life threatening disease, I’m always unsure if my kids are going to make it in the world. Did I prepare them enough? The list GOES ON. But I’m fighting through it, and working hard to be the best I can be for myself and my family.

I want you to know, I am with you sister. I have a love for fashion, and my purpose is to help. Show what you can do from what you have, and If you don’t have it, hopefully we can get a deal on it. It’s all apart of puzzle that helps us be the best we can be.

ABOUT THIS LOOK:

This outfit is nothing new I have purchased, its all just pulled out and put together on the fly. Just like we do nearly everyday. Perfectly themed for the focus of this post to be more about LIFE than what I just bought.

Nonetheless, It made me feel good the day I shot this look. So there is no reason why I wouldn’t want to pass this feeling on to you, my friends. Just keep in mind, if I get blessed enough to have you follow along here and on Social Media, the outfits are NOT about comparison, its to help inspire.

Smocked Floral Dress for Spring

April 18, 2018

Hey there! What a week so far! We have had nothing but cold and snow this week, and I keep thinking about how terrific it would be to at least have a bit of sunshine! This week’s blog post came a bit early for us, because why wouldn’t we want a little sunshine and a SALE. 🙂

If figure that, if I can roundup my favorites from the latest LOFT Sale, and show you one another one of my favorite dresses, why not? (Reminder 40% off is with code FRIENDS) Honestly, when I saw this dress hanging, I wasn’t so sure… But when I tried it on, the fact that I looked instantly 10 lbs. slimmers- sold. I wore it around a bit on vacation, and I really fell in love with it. The material is soft, and the fit is perfect. It was a great little vacation dress and will be perfect for summertime barbecues and beyond. When you catch it on sale, you can’t go wrong.

I would not be taking so much time to show you all this sale if I didn’t think it was worth it. I really enjoy these styles, and they will definitely take you through multiple seasons. I rounded up more favorites and purchases from the sale- keep scrolling to find all the goodies.

As always, Thank You for stopping by- I hope you have a great rest of the week!

Easy Easter Outfit

March 24, 2018

Since Ohio is pretty darn unpredictable when it comes to the weather at Easter, I don’t typically get to wear all those super cute dresses. However that doesn’t mean that I don’t like to dress springlike! Most of the time my Easter Sundays are spent just like any other Sunday, struggling to get everyone out the door, but with the added potential egg hunt and of course brunch. So Mama gets to look forward to her Mimosa for sure!
The Celebration of Easter, means so much to my me and my family and I don’t like to disappoint. I want to give my best and I can’t be worried about my outfit, comfort is a MUST. My outfit is always on my mind, because I need something that is going to be seasonally appropriate, and fun but MOST importantly- functional!

The Outfit:

What I’ve decided to wear will combine all the things. My Pink Top was chosen from a recent Try On session. My shoes are functional and can be easily worn for several outfits (similar here). This ankle pant is an interesting twist on a typical black pant.

Spring Getaway: My Must Have Outfit Roundup

March 9, 2018

My Spring Break Style Shopping Guide has been out for a bit, and I recently had the pleasure of being able to spend time with my family in sunny San Clemente, California. My brother and his family recently moved to Camp Pendleton, so we enjoyed seeing his new home and hanging with all my nieces and nephew. My boys were super excited, but just like any time I travel with them, I have a decent sized list of stuff to bring with us!

Here’s what I packed and wore on my trip:

Breakfast Outfit/Early morning outfit.. Not Pajamas :)… Sounds high maintenance, I know, but when the boys wake up they are READY TO EAT.. and I’m not always ready to roll for the day… And when we stay in a hotel – it’t not always easy to make food –So I always pack an easy to throw on outfit, that aren’t my pajamas.. that I can feel comfortable going out out in public in.

This outfit was easy to throw on and I felt somewhat put together when I was at the restaurant. AND YES.. I wore it everyday at breakfast 🙂

2. Workout Outfit: Ya’ll know Mommin’ ain’t easy… And traveling with kids is not an exception. I usually TRY to workout 2-3 while on vacay– I did once on this trip.. So in that case, I used my workout clothes for the obvious reasons… BUT for a potential DOUBLE USE— I always have this for the unexpected Sh*t Show–Weather, attitudes and activities can all make a big play for me… and when I just don’t have time for my mules… Workout clothes to the rescue. 🙂

My Nike Metcon have been terrific, easy for actually working out– or chasing after kids. — And my black workout capris– I mean.. Duh. 🙂

3. Casual Shopping Outfit: One of my favorite things to do while on vacation… besides site seeing, hanging with family, beaching, going to the candy store… (like we did nearly everyday) or eating…. I mean do you know me at all? 🙂 *wink*… is shopping. So I always need an outfit that can be worn to walk around and just hang. Actually, it can be worn for all of the above.:)

Hayden helped take many photos: And my Graphic Tee + Bomber Jacket + <3[/caption] [caption id="attachment_599" align="aligncenter" width="593"] fullsizeoutput_4574 I absolutely love this color combo- its my one pop of color that I NEEDED on this trip.

TOP PACKING PIECE OF ADVICE:

Bring items with you that you can mix and match. You can plan all you want – but sometimes you just have to go with it. So by bringing items with you that can be worn more than onetime, AND they color coordinate- will really help take the stress away from traveling.

Finally: Don’t sweat it. Go Have Fun. Get Dirty. Go to the Candy Store.

Don’t let the little things get in the way. They are only this old once, and you’ll never get them back at this EXACT time. Take your picture with them, and love on them only the way a Mama can.

Show me your pictures when you get back!
