I’m DONE. Done waiting for an occasion to wear a cute outfit. Done worrying if people notice I don’t always look this put together. Done worrying if it looks like I’m trying too hard—spoiler alert: I am trying. I spent YEARS in leggings, oversized sweaters, and mystery stains. So now that I am not consistently dodging spit up or toddlers wiping their nose on my sleeve I am dressing for me. Once when I worked at a shoe store, an old man told his wife, “Life isn’t a dress rehearsal, sweetheart. Buy the shoes.” And honestly? That’s the energy I’m channeling now. There’s no redo button. This isn’t practice run. You don’t need a reason to wear the outfit you love. If my kids can rock a Halloween costume in the middle of July at the grocery store without hesitation, then I can run errands in something that makes me feel good. Remember: Clothing “rules” are made up. No one can tell that you’re not a hat person. The only opinion that really matters is yours. Some days I’m the definition of hot mess mom, and some days I just wanna feel cute—god damn it. Either way, it’s just me, and that’s enough.
