OK, recently I have been perusing this S&B section. I used to be very into fashion and beauty before I had children, but body image issues and also just lack of time and money to spend on myself has meant that after my second DC was born I just gave up and stopped bothering much.
So over time I have been gradually getting more and more slovenly and (a word my granny would use!) - bedraggled.
I had a moment of realisation this afternoon whilst doing the school run - what am I actually wearing?
I was/am wearing -
scrub trousers (yes those things medics in theatres wear - I work part time but not even at work today) over jeans.
Really old black platform style shoes with the strap missing with visible men's socks.
My eldest daughter's pink fleece (she is 7! but it's big made) with no bra underneath.
A jacket (only OK part)
No make up.
Hair in ponytail but not even brushed (didn't have time this morning so I thought who cares I've already been out like that this morning - stupid I know)
I really REALLY need a style overhaul. I used to spend a lot of time and money on clothes and beauty and I think the problem is I don't know how to "downsize" to a more manageable amount or time so just gave up caring at all. Since I only have 30 mins in the morning and 30 mins in the evening (I use the evening time to shower and wash hair).
Help!
Any advice / tips , or even just an outline of what you wear and your "routine" would be very helpful.
Thanks
