I’ve never been nor do I have the desire to be a fashion blogger (posing for pics is noooot something I love) but now that we have a decent full-length mirror hanging in the closet of our new home, I thought I might throw it back to the beginning days of this blog and occasionally share a roundup of recent outfits when I remember to snap pics before I head out the door. I’ve noticed my fashion preferences change a lot since having kids and while I used to tolerate less-than-comfy clothes and shoes, now it’s pretty much a requirement for my outfits to be comfortable, functional and mom-life friendly.
In today’s roundup of looks below you’ll see a lot of casual apparel since that’s what I wear most but also a few looks from dates nights and fun nights out with friends. I hope this throwback to 2011-era outfit pics makes the original blog readers out there — those of you who have been with me since digital camera pics and my Florida days — smile today!
