I was heading to a mom's networking event and found myself struggling to put together something stylish to wear. As I perused my wardrobe I found that I had downgraded my previously stylish work wear to a wardrobe of comfortable lounge wear.

After trying on 3 pair of pants I decided that black was my safest bet and least likely to have gone out of style. Then I moved on to my shirts, my hideously outdated frumpy shirts. Much to my dismay I realized that I had spent most of my time wearing t-shirts, golf shirts and casual tops without any regard for style.

A basic red casual top caught my eye and I was off and running. I was definitely not the most stylish mom but at least I was dressed.

As I drove to the meeting I wondered how I had let my clothes get so frumpy and casual. My wardrobe had become more like a set of gym clothes than something to wear out in public. Since my move to pregnancy clothes 5 years ago, it is apparent that my mom style is less than appealing.

The last 5 years passed like a flash and my clothes, the ones that I don’t wear to the gym, looked outdated.

"That explains it," I thought to myself, "how could I possibly feel sexy and beautiful wearing sweats and a t-shirt all of the time."

I decided get on board and join the moms who couple style with comfort. I made a pact with myself to focus on my appearance, gain a sense of style and look good for me. I somehow knew that looking better would help me feel better.

Depression has a strange way of creeping into the littlest places and I found it in my closet. My mom wear was as depressing as it gets! Depression is no longer welcome and even if it takes a year, my wardrobe will be transformed into something that I want to be seen wearing.

For now I am in basic black and red with the hope for something more.

Off to make another Mommy Milestone.
