What not to wear....

I consider myself a young, stylish woman but right now I live in constant fear of Stacy and Clinton popping out from behind the cereal aisle at Harris Teeter and declaring that they have been secretly filming me (and my wardrobe choices) for the past two weeks. Me, with my hair in a ponytail, a shirt with spit-up on the sleeve, most likely, and my new favorite jean shorts that my husband has declared "mom shorts." How dare he?!? They would make me sit in a room and watch a "highlight reel" of the hot mess that I have become. Well, what a surprise that sassy Stacy would have as she and Clinton went through my closet and saw that I actually do own some of the right clothing, yet it has been almost a year since I have actually worn anything mildly cute. So starting now, I vow to use this blog as my motivation to dress appropriately more often. I may even begin to accessorize again; and, no, allowing my 2 year old to style my hair with her bows does not count.

Here are some of my outfit inspirations:

All easy outfits to pull together in the morning when I am rushing out the door to take my kids to school and all incorporate items that I already own. How easy is an all black outfit? It looks chic and bonus points because I can still wear my yoga pants!! Tucked into some motorcycle boots, they don't look like pajamas but how many times do I find myself at noon looking down and realizing that I still have my pajamas and Uggs on?!? New Year's Resolution --- No More Uggs!

first day

Hello, I am enamored with blogs right now and am completely inspired to begin my own. I am a stay at home mom with two amazing daughters one handsome son and a wonderful husband. I love art and architecture, historic preservation, fashion, interior design, and yoga. I am currently decorating my new home and have become completely obsessed with my two new blue chairs.

This blog is to become a collection of things I find beautiful and inspiring.
