What in the world happened to me?

Have you ever had one of those years when it feels like nothing in your closet matches? Well, that's what I've been going through. Nothing matches. Nothing looks good. For awhile I was the most coordinated person on the planet. There wasn't a shirt or blouse in my closet that didn't match at least two other items. And, shoes matched purses and lipstick matched blusher. I was a walking fashion "Do"! One of those enviable women you imagine seeing on the back cover of Glamour magazine. The good one, not the one with the offending bar across the eyes to hide identity. But, that was five years ago, before I got pregnant, gained 45 pounds, had a baby and grew out of all my stylish slinky clothes. For awhile after my baby was born I went through my day fooling myself that I could still be stylish even while being a full time hands on mom. After awhile, though, everything I owned had been ruined by baby pee and spit up, and my sexy stylish clothes had been consigned to a "donation" box for others who could actually fit into them, and then I gave up on being stylish. Nowadays, I am lucky if my shirt matches the wall, much less my pants. I'm a lot less focused on my personal style and what others think of me. With that being said, inside my heart, I do long for the days when I was actually able to match my pants to my shirt and draw enviable looks from others. Guess it's back to the mall for me!
