I am intrigued by what you all think about how clothes can make you feel. Do you agree that they can have any effect on your daily mood? Or perhaps they can give you the confidence to go after your dream job. Have the confidence to have the best first date or to just feel your most comfortable? There are so many reasons outfits have such an impact on women’s lives and I want to express a little bit of my reasoning as to why my style blog is more than just me in an outfit.

It’s a lifestyle, a feel that creates and cultivates confidence in myself. When I pick out an outfit, there are so many different thoughts that go into the way I style and what I am feeling for that specific day. How I got there is what inspires me to bring you these outfits + show you what you can do with the confidence you receive when you feel good in your clothes!

5 years ago I lost a lot of weight after having my daughter. I found myself through clothing, through styles and challenging myself to piece together items that give me a good feeling! I learned to express myself in ways I never could before. Daily, I would piece different outfits together and think of ways that it could help people find value in their own clothes. Maybe it inspires you to go to your closet and find an outfit similar or maybe it inspires you and some of your girlfriends to go treat yourself! I am a firm believer in the “Look Good Feel Good” Mantra. It has been my go-to for years and it honestly has kept me on track with most of my daily and monthly goals! The thought behind the outfit is way more than just “here I am in this outfit”

This particular outfit made me feel feminine yet tomboy-ish which is my JAM. I felt really empowered and honestly sexy as well. I love a good pleated skirt to keep me girly but I really really love my tennis shoes!

You can shop anywhere in the world and find yourself through clothing items if you look hard enough. Sometimes it just takes really being true to what you love and how you want to express yourself!

Apricot Lane skirt + sweater totally made this outfit happen and my look good, feel good day is absolutely brought to you by them! — If you ever need help with wardrobe styling, I offer it!
