Thursday Transformation

Thursday I will try to dedicate it to my fashion post.  As a mom I have struggled with my fashion senses.  Before my kids I had an awesome fashion knowledge.  I used to be in the fashion/ modeling world (which I miss so much!!!.) At some point of my life I used to get paid to dress people and give fashion advice.  If you see me now with my kids and I told you that you would be like, "yeah right..?lol."  But we all change after having kids, some of us change more than the others.  For the ones like me, that lost completely themselves and are trying to find themselves again after having kids.  I hope this helps.  For the ones that did not struggle, let me congratulate you and say HELP US!!!!!!!! lol Please, give us some pointers on what to do. Nice and kindly give some advice,  And for the ones that are okay with leggings and t-shirts for the rest of your life.  We love your confidence and there is nothing wrong with that.  You go girl!  I love any stage of fashion you are at, or transitioning to. That is the great thing about fashion, there is no right or wrong.  It is build to shape your style.  The beauty is that we all have different style's and we need to adapt to what our style is and build it.

So for the first post we are going to transform one outfit into different outfits for different occasions.  As a mom, you can't always go shopping for different outfits and you don't always have the TIME to change.  So I picked something you can use as a working mom, or stay at home mom.

The outfit is very simple.  A high-waist skirt, to help me with my stomach.  I've had 3 kids and I have a lot of loos skin.  The high waist that does not stretch helps me have more control of my stomach and make it seem flatter,  And a white Old Navy tank top.  Very simple, with neutral colors.

  

This is the business/office look.  You just add a black or brown blazer.  Mine was 3/4 sleeves because of the summer time.  With 3 in. black or brown closed toe heels.  I added the necklace and bracelet with blue accents to add some color to the outfit.  Also to add some psychology to your outfit colors.  Black means you are in control or in power of things, white that you are calm or peaceful and light blue helps the people around you feel comfortable around you and trust you. It is simple and great for any body type.


Second Look:
 

Lets say you are going out with a couple of friends, dinner after work with co-workers/ dinner date. I don't know there are a million things that you could be doing. You could also go do some activities with the kids as well.  I have gone to PTO activities like this.  (Yes I am one of does moms.)  But something comes up and you need to do something after work or during the day.  I don't like showing my arms so I always wear something to cover up my arms that is why I show both versions.  A boho cardigan with brown 5 in sandals heels.  You can keep the accessories on as well.  The brown shoes give it a more relax feel to the outfit along with the cardigan, but keep you with a "grown up look" if we must call it something.

Look number three:

 


The last look is the simple look. This is for when I am out with the kids.  The one on the left is the one I personally use.  I am wearing brown strap sandals, and a sheer white cover up.  I took off the accessories because my smallest child is three and at times I do pick him up.  When you have kids that are small, necklaces, earrings and bracelets are like toys.  So for our safety, let's not wear it.  Also the sandals so we can keep up with our little ones and run around after them all day long.  Because that is what we will be doing, running up and down everywhere for the rest of our life. lol 

So this is it for transformation Thursday.  One outfit 3 different ways to wear it depending on the occasion. I hope this was useful or helpful for you guys.  Also let me know what kind of looks you would like to see or what you need help or advice on.  Thanks for stopping by and you have a fabulous start to the weekend.

11 Day Migraine

Hi Welcome back to my life! I hope you all had a great weekend.  I actually did, it was my son's birthday weekend.  My oldest turned 7.  It was a very nice weekend for the most part.  I can't remember most of it to be quite honest, no I was not drunk or on any un-prescribed drugs.  I have been dealing with a migraine sense August 12th.  I don't think anybody that came over my house noticed much of a difference I was talking and trying my best to act normal.  There were moments I would zone out and had no idea what was going on but for the most part I pushed through.  It started August 12th as we were at the park catching pokemons. lol Yes we play Pokemon Go.  My husband got me hooked on that game.  I started feeling some vertigo and a mild migraine nothing major.  I took my meds and didn't think much of it.  The next day I felt worse. I felt like I couldn't get out of bed.  The light bothered me, the noise I just did...

MTHFR Mutation and me!

MTHFR is a DNA mutation that is not commonly checked on a regular check up or regular blood work.  But thankfully this year (2018) thanks to my new and wonderful Neurologist she suggested I saw a Hematologist.  He ran 18 tubes of blood and multiple test I had never had done before.  There I was told it seemed like I had a mutation on MTHFR.  But requested for all the lab work to be done again to make sure it was correct and come back in a month.  The labs take about 3 weeks to be processed.  At at that point I found some relief but also fear.  I had no idea what I was dealing with I got a packed of information with the title:   Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase catalyzes Mutation. The title it self freaked me out!!  But I did as much research as I could in that month.  It seems as if this condition was just discovered in 2006. So there is no cure for it, not a lot of information either but the Doctors are just treating the symptom...

Do you have what you want in life?

Sometimes some of us have more than a  million things going on at a time.  That you do not stop and take some time to enjoy what you have.  You have life, a purpose, family, friends, maybe a pet?  You have an emotional attachment to something or someone other than you.  But do you actually value and cherish them? When  things are going good in life we don't think of how lucky or blessed we are.  We seem to put the good in the back of our heads and not appreciate it.  Because we believe that we deserve the best and the best should get better with time (just like wine. lol)  But it doesn't always get better, or you may not have the time for it to get better.  We don't think of what we have most of the time until we lose it. We don't think of how mush some one meant to us until they pass away.  Or how much you really liked something until it breaks.  Even though they were there every day before, they were not part of your c...
