Define style? If I can't, does that mean I don't have one?

I am not hip, hep or otherwise known as cool. I have {gulp} 30+ cardigans in my closet. Jeans out the wazoo - ew that could hurt. And 80, yes I counted, pairs of casual shoes and only 4 dressy heels.

With my auburn hair episode - and the varied responses when people saw me - Oh! OH! OH!!!! - it made my mind start to go - and that can be a scary thing!

I look around at other people my age - the other moms, mostly up at the elementary school because that is where 75% of my adult interaction is. Even there, some of the moms primp and pump. They keep the big-haired Texas woman alive and well! Me, well hmm, More often than not - my hair is up in a clip - I can't stand it to touch my face it's a thing I have. I rarely wear makeup. A little mascara and lipstick - when I remember to put it on. Maybe having all boys has attributed to some of this. I don't have to set an example. I don't need to know how to do makeup correctly. (and frankly I don't feel I need makeup - I only wear the mascara because my eyelashes are so pale you can't see them otherwise - I think I look just as cute - ugh - killer word - with or without it)

Don't get me wrong, BK - before Kiddoes - I was all the glam I could handle - then I had over 100 pairs of shoes and dresses and skirts out the ying-yang - again could be painful. I watched trends and eschewed them for what I liked. But not any more.

from this:



Can a lack of style then become your style? That I-just-threw-this-together look.

I'm not a slob - at least, I hope not. But I have steadily slid down to mommy frumpdom and haven't had the motivation/ambition to claw my way up the stacks of microfiber pants and silky shirts. My one wild attempt at fashion diva is my vibrant choice of hair colors - and even then I hold back from what I really want to do - though I did check out some highlights that you don't find in normal hair color under the age of 90.




OH and just as an FYI - I have purchased Decaf - we'll see if that helps {she says as her eye twitches}
