Fashion Stalking Mom

On my quest to get my children to and fro I ran into a mother that apparently has been watching my every move.  No, I'm serious.  She was able to tell me all about my wardrobe and how much she loved it.  At first I didn't know if I should accept it as a compliment or accept her as a FREAK!!! After nervously listening I decided to accept it as a compliment.  Seriously people, she told me everything about my wardrobe from months back and how my hair was fixed, when I wore and didn't wear makeup, etc.  See, this just confirms that people are always watching.

As she explained her reasoning of "stalking" me I felt privileged.  Then all the questions came flowing out of her mouth.  The most important question she had "How do I afford such nice clothes?"  Ok, we all know that hot to trot woman that says "what, you mean this old thing?"  Well, that was my response.  But, I truly meant it!  I haven't bought new clothes in forever.  Pre baby years I use to buy several new outfits every season, but we all know things begin to change once you become a parent.  Well, I guess saying we all know isn't fair because somethings don't change for many and that's actually a great thing.  But, in my home it changed.

So, let me share with you my secrets.  I always shop for BARGAINS!!  No matter what I'm shopping for I look for coupons, sales and just plain great deals.  My biggest asset is designer accessories for less.  I use accessories to make all of my outfits FABULOUS.  No matter if I'm running to the supermarket on a Saturday morning in a pair of sweats (cute of course) I grab a cute pair of shades, necklace or handbag.  I promise you, accessories can make an outfit look 100x better.

My biggest asset to my wardrobe has been scarves.  Before recently I never gave a thought to scarves, but this is a great designer accessory .  Scarves are great for wearing around your neck, hair (super cute for those I don't want to do my hair days) and excellent for a belt. There are so many different things to do with a scarf.

By the end of our conversation I convinced her she could look like the super model she thought I resembled.  Just a little extra time in the morning; honestly only 15 more minutes to my routine.  So, just shop for designer accessories for less and you can look great and save great all in one.
