"Moon Prism Power"

I feel like my life underwent a complete makeover, but forgot to take my wardrobe with it. Around the same time last year, I was sporting Nike high tops, Palty bleached hair, and everything Hellz Bellz. And then I became pregnant with the babychan. I still wanted to be somewhat fashionable, but my need to be comfortable grew along with my expanding tummy and found it difficult to reach a compromise. The world's greatest invention, BELLA BAND, could only do so much. So, I started shopping for whatever fit me without really caring how I looked and promised myself that I would never "let myself go" (like those frumpy women on makeover shows who dedicate their lives to taking care of their families) once my gelatinous blob of a stomach sucked itself back in.

Well, here I am, post-pregnancy and I'm still wearing the clothes that were meant to fit me and Tohchan. When I first peered into my closet on my first day back to school after giving birth, I felt like I was looking at someone else's wardrobe. I mean, I couldn't just walk out of the house wearing skinny jeans and a shirt that said, "AUTHENTIC SHIT." Good Lord, how inappropriate would that be? (I bought it without realizing it actually said that, but I figured it went well with my style @ the time.) But I also didn't want to wear tops that I had been wearing for the past 4 months. I wanted to celebrate being thin again, but I didn't know how.

So, it might take a little while longer than I thought it would, but I'm going to keep the promise that I had made and I'm going to attempt to revamp everything. I can't believe women who are 10-15 years older dress better than me..and with multiple kids too?! Shame, shame. I guess giving up on being fashion forward: prego edition left me in a rut that I can't seem to pull myself out of, but I'll bounce back! Hair, wardrobe, nails..IT SHALL BE DONE/DID!

Now, I just have to save up for this Sailor Moon transformation. :/ Bleh.
