Perhaps even older, from the collegiate days?  Every once in a while I do a closet cleaning and find things that I used to wear and nostalgia takes me down the moments when I last wore those pieces and I think to myself “wow, I’ve come a long way from this”.

poshclassymom-hm-bloglovin-breakthrough-blogger-contest-hm-blouse-leith-skirt-christian-louboutin-pigalle (4)You learn so much about your body after two pregnancies.  Through the changes inside and out, I know what style looks good on me and what trend I should avoid no matter how popular it is.  I know who I am as a women, a mother and how I want to present myself.  I started this entry with a quote from Tom Ford, real changes in real life drives the change in fashion, so as my life continues to change and evolve, I look forward to the changes in my fashion, and reflect my style-telling through my blog.  We shouldn’t be afraid to make changes in our fashion choices, but who we are stylistically should be true to ourselves.  Ending this post with a little food for thought from another fearless fashion icon:

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” ~ Gianni Versace

  5. I love a cute white blouse with a sassy short skirt….so nicely glommed up with the Loubs! I, too, can’t believe the things I used to fit into and/or liked! What was I thinking, comes to mind! You look beautiful for this H & M look!! xo

    Kisses,

  10. So gorgeous…blue for days. I love the skirt and the design on the blouse….then your heels just have me staring, so cute.

    I agree with you, trends aren’t everything. Ladies should learn to wear whatever works for them best whether it’s trending or not.
    You just made me remember that I still wear some of my sweaters from childhood…*hides face*. I wonder how you clean up your closet…am so attached to all my clothes.

  31. Although I haven’t had a baby to cause body changes yet, most days I am glad I don’t wear my college wardrobe. 😉 Love this chic blue and white combo.

  37. Lovely post – super well written and engaging! It made me a little nostalgic about all the clothes I bought when I was trying to become a certain person and didn’t really have a strong sense of myself. I’ve definitely come a long way since then!

  43. I can totally relate! After going through 2 pregnancies my body is changing and a lot of pieces in my closet doesn’t fit! Yet I still hold on to them hoping someday they will fit. So many high heel shoes, yet my day to day are flats! I love your blue skirt in this post; it is very stylish and the color is such a pop. I am still saving for my very own Christian Louboutin.

    • Thank you Kim! You are so sweet and I don’t think we would regret our choices for sacrificing our body for those cute angels. Def get a CL if you have the opportunity, they are worth the investment. xo Sheree

  45. I hadn’t heard that Tom Ford quotation before, what a fantastic one! This is a really beautiful and classic look on you (one Tom Ford himself would be proud of!) and I adore the colour of the skirt.. oh and needless to say, the Louboutins are to die for 😉
