If you cannot remember the last time you wore something, why is that? Is it because you’re a stay-at-home mom and this particular outfit is really just a go-to for fancy nights? That’s okay then, if you really love that piece and look forward to wearing it on fancy nights.įor example: I work at home, so my go-to outfit is sweats and a tee, but sometimes I speak at women’s events or at an online conference, and I need to dress up. By asking yourself when the last time was that you wore something, you’re forcing yourself to come up with a number of days or weeks – a definitive, straightforward answer. You’re not asking yourself if you wear it or if you will wear it, because it’s easy to lie to yourself and step pretty far outside the zone of reality with questions like that. Question #1: When was the last time I wore this?īy asking when you last wore each piece of clothing, what you’re doing is gaining a realistic perspective. Because I know you’re gonna take action on this post riiiiight? □ Let’s do a question-by-question breakdown to help you get a tighter grip on what this should look like when you tackle your closet. How do you simplify your wardrobe? What does decluttering look like when it comes to your clothes? First, you need to ask yourself a few key questions. If you need to get healthy and you’re overwhelmed, read this and anything else you can find on the internet to help motivate you to make the positive changes needed to expand your health, your happiness, and your confidence! An unhealthy body means unhappy eyes and a different lack of priority. Now, there’s a big difference in not feeling good in your clothes because you need to prioritize your joy more, and in not feeling good in ANYTHING because you’re not taking care of your body. I want every mom reading this to feel the same way. I feel comfortable and flattered in every single thing. I love my gym clothes, my sweatpants, my tee shirts, my nice work clothes – all of it. I can honestly say that I love everything I own, I wear every item on a very regular basis, and I get weirdly excited in the morning to get dressed. I dress my body in a way that makes me happy, excited to get dressed, and confident. I’ve had four kids, one of whom was eleven pounds (that’s not a typo) and I can say that my body is far from magazine-standards-perfect, but it is perfect for my purpose and what it needed to do, and I take pretty good care of it, so I dress it well. If you declutter your closet and you end up with next to nothing, that’s okay. Because you deserve it! It’s that simple. You should not be dressing yourself every day in clothes that make you feel anything less than glowing, adorable, fantastic, vibrant. Casual wear or fancy going-to-a-wedding wear, you deserve to feel really really GOOD. You deserve to feel incredible every day – whether you’re running errands, going out on a date, or staying home folding laundry. Me: Let go of everything that isn’t working for you, making you feel amazing, or is damaged. Other Mama: How can I implement minimalism in my wardrobe? There is NOTHING depressing about dressing that beautiful body of yours, mama! Rock it! No matter what shape stage it’s in. You CAN pull off that bright lip color because you’re bold, beautiful and amazing! It makes me so sad when I hear a friend say things like, “Oh I wish I could pull off a bright lipstick” or “I hate shopping for myself – it’s depressing!” We stay in super-mom-mode (official title) when we are getting better sleep, our babies have grown a bit, and we could be feeling a whole lot better about ourselves if we put in the effort. Sometimes though, we forget to come out of those seasons when they’re over. It’s kinda hard to think about how flattering your jeans are or how fresh your makeup is when you’re elbow-deep in boogers and poop and haven’t slept properly in eight months. Let’s face it… our self-care is typically bare minimum. Moms: we’re always taking care of everybody else, famously forgetting (or not caring enough) to take care of ourselves.
