I have a proud mom moment to share!

My mom wrote a book! It’s about women of faith and how they choose to honor God with their whole lives.

I’m really proud of my mom. This book was a labor of love and she poured her heart and soul into it. My dad was her steady rock and cheerleader through the whole process. 🥹

This Mother’s Day I am grateful for…

My four beautiful, strong “babies” and for my good, strong body that was able to carry them.

My mom and how brave she was choosing to raise all seven of her kids to love God and serve others. (do I look like her?!)

For my four sisters and two sisters in-law (lol. There’s too many of us to fit in an instagram photo apparently) who show grit and courage every freaking day as we raise our kids together.

For my incredible husband and teammate who I could not raise our babies without.

Motherhood is all things heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, gloriously fulfilling, and miraculous. Here’s to all of the women who have gone before me, gave me life, and inspire me to be a good mom. 🥂

Primark
Joe Fresh
And others…

The cost of fashion is devastating.

There is no perfect solution to this crisis but we can all start with awareness.

I first learned about this catastrophe from watching the documentary The True Cost. I could not, in good conscience, shop from any fast fashion store after that. I have since committed to shopping exclusively secondhand or fair trade. I’ve leaned in to my local community of secondhand, consignment, and fair trade stores and boutiques for any “new” items of clothing I need.

I’ve also committed to taking shopping breaks for weeks at a time if not months. Shopping my closet is one of the most sustainable choices I can make. It also is a way that I can honor the hands that made my clothes.

I am not perfect at this, but we all have to start somewhere and I care deeply about our planet and most importantly the people on it.

These are a few things that I have done for myself and my family to combat the fast fashion crisis. What have you found works for you? Share with me in the comments!

It’s time for some slow fashion fits! A special shoutout for my mismatching socks that were unintentionally exposed during a closet consultation for a client. 😆🙏

As a rectangle body type, my goal with my personal style is to accentuate my waistline with high-rise pants while adding volume to my upper and lower half. For straight dresses (like the red one) the curves are added with the shape of an oversized blazer. I need all the curves I can get! I love experimenting with different styles and fits and adding ruching, sinching, cuffing, and belting wherever I can.

Do you know your body type and how to dress for it?? This is something I offer during my closet consultations. Learning how to dress your shape is essential for a wardrobe that serves you well!

Time for SFFs (slow fashion fits)! The last photo is mine and my husband’s best 80s fit in honor of my sister’s birthday this year. 100% thrifted. How’d we do?? 😆

I’m a personal stylist in Colorado Springs and my goal is to help you fall in love with the clothes you already own while also slowing down fast fashion! Because one of the most sustainable choices we can make is shopping our closets!

I’m also a rectangle body shape so my goal is to give my body all the volume and curve I can with the shapes and fit of my clothes! It’s such a fun challenge.

Book a closet consultation with me and we’ll learn your body type and how to dress for it!
