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 not want to get out of bed.  I was nauseous

Pho Feel'n Asian

Pho Feel'n Asian has opened its doors in Gastonia NC.  If you want to try great pho and some authentic Asian cuisine give this local restaurant a try.  The pho had amazing flavor and variety.  My husband had the meat, I tried the tofu.  Ones I started eating it there was no way I could stop, even after I was full.  I also tried their iced coffee and it was one of the best coffee's I have had in the Gastonia area.  On top of their great food, the staff was very friendly and kind.  I went with my three children (7, 6 and 4 year old.)  They were very patient, friendly and helpful with the kids.  They don't have a kids menu but many of the Gastonia restaurants don't seem to have one. Yet it is family friendly and from a price point is also very affordable.  I do recommend it, whether you have tried pho before or not.  Go support a family owned local business and see the community around you grow!

Yoga after a stroke

Life puts all of us through so many challenges you sometimes sit and wonder how are you still here.  How did you find the courage and strength to push through it all.  Or at least I seem to be thinking about it a lot lately.  But then I also think of all the things I have accomplished and how much of a bad ass I have become from it all.  My most resent struggle was the mini stroke I had in April 27th.  It has been something that happened suddenly and has taken a long time to recover from.  Three months later I still cannot get back to the person I was before the stroke. Before the stroke I used to do yoga almost every day for about an hour.  I loved it so much! It took me a while to find a love for yoga but ones I found that love I never let it go.  After the stroke my mobility seemed to be slow.  It was hard to walk, to go up the stairs or even raise my hands above my shoulders.  For the first month I needed help with basic things like, driving, showering, cooking, cleaning, taki
