Now, any of you who know me may be smiling at the thought of me trying to be more stylish. I am definitely of the drag myself out of bed and put on the same “uniform” of clothes every day, school of thought. (skinny jeans, socks, legwarmers, uggs, tunic top and cardigan if you’re interested, plus my patented 3 scarves which I am rarely without during the winter months) I’m not great with my hair or make up and often resort to a simple scruffy bun or ponytail and quick scrape of mascara. Or more often then not, no make up at all.
But it is definitely true to say that when I do make an effort I feel a lot better for it. The biggest problem I have is that I usually have an hour in the mornings to get me and 4 kids up and dressed, breakfasted and ready for school and work. Working from home means that its easy for me to be lazy about how I dress and I KNOW I could get up earlier and make more time for a proper routine but really, me and getting up earlier just don’t get on.
So I was interested to see my twitter friend Katy talk about a new 2014 Style challenge, which you can read all about here. I will definitely be signing up in the new year, a bit of outside influence will be very useful in encouraging me to make more of an effort!
