How to Figure Out Your Personal Style

March 7, 2022 by Claire Leave a Comment

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 »

Wardrobe Revamp, Part 3: Knickey Underwear Review

March 3, 2022 by Claire Leave a Comment

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.

I’m remaking my wardrobe and I promise, I promise, NEXT POST we’ll get to the specifics on that.

But first, I want to talk about getting older. (Not that I’m really that old.)

But before I was a mom, I saw mothers as “others.” I never understood the draw of momfluencers or of having children in general. Mom life seemed so boring to me. I wanted to see and read about trendy, self-indulgent topics like minimalism, self-care, or being a #girlboss. Moms didn’t have the same glamor as childless 20-somethings who traveled, socialized, wrote about self-discovery, and always looked put together.… Read More »

Redoing My Wardrobe for Mom Life, Part 1: Why?

June 26, 2021 by Claire Leave a Comment

Recently, I shared a few of my favorite positive affirmations for moms on the blog. One of them goes like this: I deserve nice, functional things that are within my budget.

One of the most difficult areas of life for me to apply that truth? Clothing. I want to look put together. I aspire to owning a wardrobe full of quality pieces that flatter my complexion and figure, are easy to mix and match, easy to care for, and timeless.… Read More »
