Mommy Style: Using Pintrest to Help Make My Wardrobe Fit My Life

I've always loved clothes, something I think my paternal grandmother, who trained to be--wanted to be--a costume designer in Hollywood but ended up in Seattle raising three boys, gave me. (I really like my mother's style and she always looks great, but she has no great love of fashion.) I always feel so much better about the day when I'm wearing something cute.

But my closet is all California-surfer-girl-slash-advertising-professional-circa-2003. And I live in Colorado now. And no longer surf (although maybe I will again someday). And work almost exclusively from home vs traveling to work onsite at ad agencies. And I've got two kids. And am almost 10 years older. I gained weight starting in January 2009 with the whole fertility drugs/pregnancies thing, too.

But now I am just a few pounds from my goal weight (back where I was before all the IVF stuff started), and am starting to think about updating my wardrobe. I was inspired by Too Many Fish to Fry to do a Pintrest board for the fall/winter, and that's been so fun, putting a lot of pictures together, trying to figure out what works for my life now--you know, the dream life that involves hanging out with the kids indoors and out, doing some work in my home office, a weekly date night and maybe a day or two on the mountain snowboarding here and there. :)

You can check out the full board here. Oh, and here's a button if you want to follow me on Pintrest:

Happy Thursday!
