What are you wearing?

My fashion sense has changed a lot throughout the years, and mostly based on need. By that I mean, it has evolved with my ever changing lifestyles.

High school was basically jeans, sweatshirts, I believe I had a silk shirt at one time...it was blue. Awesome. And tennis shoes. Pretty sure I owned some sort of Guess something or Girbaud as they were THE hot brands in high school. But my most worn ( and probably most $$$) article was my cheer uniform. It was worn probably twice a week, sometimes more. Think "Cheerios" on Glee.

In college, it was all ripped jeans, flip flops, tiny sweaters, anything and everything from Abercrombie and Fitch. And to add some "variety," anything Chi Omega or ENMU, especially ENMUfootball (often seen sporting #44), related.

My first job out of college was not teaching like I was supposed to do, it was at Dillard's. I had to wear slacks and blazers...all the time...pregnant. NOT FUN. But slowly started to build up my "grown up" wardrobe.

When I started my career in the business world, I had to put away my flip flops and ripped jeans , and don my heels, button down tops and slacks. I loved dressing up everyday, I even miss it. But I always felt like I was playing "grown up."

Now in another season of my life, I am finding dust on my heels, and hanger creases in my slacks. I have pulled the ripped jeans off the shelf only to find them more fragile than ever, and well my favorite flip flops from college broke.

NOW WHAT DO I WEAR?! What does being a grown up look like at this stage? Maybe I need to submit myself to What Not to Wear but I really don't want them to tell me 30+ year old shouldn't be wearing ripped jeans or sweats.

Oh well, it will be an on going quest to find my new fashion sense!
