02.19.2016 How to Adapt your Wardrobe when Life Happens

Goodness it's been an insanely busy week! I just caught my breath and realized I haven't updated anything on here all week! Well, here's the long and short of my past week:

1. Mom flew in for a visit
2. Took all 4 munchkins, the boyfriend, the mom, and the boyfriend's brother to Monster Jam Truck Show!
3. Took the kids to Benihana for their first hibachi experience
4. Crazy work schedule
5. Nail Painting Session with the girls
6. Costco, Petco, and Cabellas
7. Yeah.....and got hooked on The Blacklist on Netflix.
8. Unseasonably warm weather! 73 in the middle of winter!!!!!


So, when your schedule gets insane, how does your wardrobe work WITH you and not against you?

Here's my Tips:

1. Don't overthink it. If you need to be simple, be simple. If you need to dress up, then add a little extra.
2. Flats are a wonderful thing for someone on the go! I'll admit, over the years....heels just don't have the same appeal as they once did. Most of my week was spent in my converse sneakers or my gray flats. It's just easier when you're buzzing around.
3. Layering is great....especially when the weather is unpredictable! I'm ALWAYS cold. But, considering the weather has been in the upper 60's and low 70's the past few days, it's definitely caused me to get creative with my WINTER wardrobe.

• Gray cardigan over my white tank and black pants. 
• Gray cardigan over my black tank and black pants. 
• Gray cardigan over my pj's. 
• Gray cardigan
• Gray
• Gr...

Hahaha. Seriously, it's so versatile, it's really been my lifesaver with the ever changing conditions. 

4. Don't forget to take some time for YOU. When life gets really wild and crazy, you have to remember that even if it's an evening bubble bath, or a couple of hours watching your own tv show in bed, or sleep. Sweet, wonderful sleep. You HAVE to make time for yourself. Being a mom, I find that to be difficult sometimes, but I become less of a "Happy Awesome Mom" and more of a "Snappy Bitchy Mom" when I don't make some Me time. Just Do It! 

So, yeah. That's what's been up with me. I'll post some more this weekend. Oh, I've also been working on some capsule wardrobes for traveling.....stay tuned! (Upcoming work trips and vacation!)
