Real Momma, Real Style

Have you ever found a blog that is completely different than yours, but it inspires you?  A while ago I found Nina at Momma Go Round.  Things I love about Nina and her blog are that she's trying to spruce up her style since becoming a momma, and most mommas can relate to that.  She doesn't spend a fortune on her clothes.  She is committed to trying new styles.  But my favorite part is that she tries to use what she already has.

I've posted before about how I need to put more effort into style.  I'm slowly trying, and of course since I'm frugal I'm trying to use what I have.

The other day I decided to pull out a dress that I wore 5 years ago, and it has been sitting in my closet ever since.  I wore this dress on our anniversary dinner during my hubby's R & R on his first deployment.  I was a lot skinnier then, so this was risky to pull out now especially considering the stripes.  Normally I would let the dress wait for some special occasion but not anymore with this new inspiration.  A little black tank underneath and I was set to go...off to Walmart to grocery shop because that is special enough, right?

Dress was from a boutique shop in OKC (I don't remember the name) and the tank is ON.  

Here's my promise though:  if I ever do one of these posts again, I swear I will work on not looking so awkward posing for the camera, and I will find better backgrounds than the side of my house. ;)
