In the past 8 months, I haven't felt very inspired, personal style-wise. With my body slowly becoming less "puffy" post-birth and having to expose my boobs every few hours easily, personal style took a back seat to practicality and laziness. Back when we moved to Alaska I stored all the clothes that I knew I couldn't fit on my growing pregnant body, so my wardrobe was relatively limited, and when we packed all our stuff to move down here a couple months ago, my wardrobe got whittled down even further to what I could fit in a suitcase or two. So this past week I did a bit of retail therapy, which helped on three fronts: getting out of the house, hanging out in an air-conditioned space, and adding a couple fresh pieces to my wardrobe.
I feel like I'm kind of crystallizing a sense of what my style might be now. I feel a little bit like a Free People meets Madewell type of girl. With maybe a dash of rock + roll grunge thrown in there now and then. We'll see how I feel about all the clothes I stored away over a year ago once I get them out upon our move back to Tacoma. There may or may not be a shop-my-closet happening, depending on how many of the clothes I actually jive with these days!
