Facing My Insecurities With Fashion

Yes I said it. I always want to be the one who wears what I want, and not care what others think. But for some reason, I get dressed, put baby in the car seat, walking with confidence towards the front. And suddenly I have a billion thoughts running through my head, I start walking slower and slower until I stop, I wait a couple seconds and think. Do I look crazy? is my euphoric style, too euphoric? People are going to stare and I won't know what to do. And even though I know, I know deep down that I love what I am wearing, that what I am wearing represents me, I can't stand my insecurities, I go back in my room with my baby Gracie and change. I put on my regular pants, and a "safe" stylish t-shirt that won't show the weight I've gained through pregnancy because I know that even though I don't feel like myself I still look stylish- so its o.k. And then I walk out my door, feeling disgusted with what I have just done. But I convince myself, that even though I don't feel like myself, I still look cute, so I let it go. But I can't do that anymore. I have to just let myself be, let everything just be. I have to just wear what I want, because I want to. I decided to start in small steps. Wear one thing I love, in public even if others stare. I've decided to just be brave and do it!! Not care if I look fat or not.. Reality is, I am overweight right now, but I am working on that, and just because I can't lose 50 pounds in one day doesn't mean I can't wear something that represents who I am!!! I am losing weight, the healthy way and I will get to my goal, but I can't be afraid to be who I am through my clothes just because I am not my normal weight. It takes time to be brave but I really believe that once I can break that cycle in my head, it will be alright, it will actually be more than alright! I will posting pictures of myself this week with outfits that represent me, outfits that make me feel euphoric again! Do any of you ladies have insecurities with fashion? Any advice for me?

These are my inspirations for the week: Love the 60's and 70's. I love the euphoric colors, the hippie, boho look! Just love!! I'll see what I can come up with :) 

MY NEW BODY....

Well well well!! I don't know where to begin or how to explain exactly how I feel so I will just do as best as I can.. Before pregnancy I had a curvy body, not too small not too big.. I always had body issues, but I was ok with it. I loved my bootie and thunder thighs (until I couldn't fit into my favorite jeans) but I would move on to the next! I was a size 6, 8 and sometimes a 10. My body just always went up and down! I would love to exercise, get carried away and start again! But I loved it! AND then came the baby weight! haha I gained so much weight with pregnancy, which I knew would happen but trying to get it off is hard! For the last couple weeks, I was kinda sad, my clothes didn't fit and I didn't want to buy anything because I felt like I was allowing myself to stay that way! Well enough is enough!! Something popped in my head last week, and let me tell you, my perspective on body image changed completely! I did a juice detox for two days, and decided to just start eating healthy( increased my milk supply)!.. I didn't care about my body anymore, I just wanted to feel healthy! I have lost 3lbs this week--and the week isn't even over yet! Even though I am happy I started to loose weight eating healthy, it's not the most important thing to me anymore. It's more about how I feel inside, and the happiness I feel after eating a good meal! The best part of it, is my little Gracie! She was totally worth me gaining weight! It's just part of my journey and I decided I will go to the thrift store to buy me some cute clothes, and each time my body changes since I've been loosing weight; I will go and buy more clothes from thrift store. I love fashion and I can't allow my insecurities to creep up on me and put me down, I have to find ways to stay positive and find clothing pieces that make me feel sexy.. NO MORE "fat monica"..but "beautiful monica". In the end I don't care about the weight, if I eat healthy I will have a healthy body, and that's good enough for me :)Thanks for listening! or reading I suppose.haha Until then friends!

XOXO MUMU
p.s I want to buy this cape from asos!

Ice cold in style!

Before I start I wanted to let you all know that my little baby girl had a photo shoot this past weekend, woot!! A professional photographer wanted some valentines baby pictures and asked if my little girl could model and of course I said yes :)I will be posting pictures soon!! I have similar items in my closet and I love them all! All these pieces pretty much can go with anything and you can do a combination! The button up shirt can be worn underneath the striped sweater or the floral cardigan :) they both can go with tights or jeans. And of course always, I mean ALWAYS have your favorite pair of boots that can go with EVERYTHING in your closet!! And of course, jewelry! Play with what you have, mix and match and you will see how it can transform any outfit your wearing! I hope you all enjoy my styles :) btw, I am super tired, my little baby belle is keeping me awake, and when she sleeps I try to work on my blog to keep my dream alive! May you all have an amazing weekend and I hope I can visit your blogs soon! XOXO--MUMU
