I am, by nature, equal parts goofy and equal parts serious. In recent years, however, I feel like my serious side has really taken over. Probably because I’m usually so focused on getting stuff done. Raising three kids and being a working mom is no joke. There is always a to-do list as long as my arm. Most nights my husband and I go to bed wishing there were more hours in the day (and that we had a magic night maid to come do all the laundry).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with my serious side eclipsing my fun side is that it starts to bleed over to my closet in a serious way (see what I did there?). When I am making purchases or selecting items from brands I work with, the word PRACTICAL, PRACTICAL, PRACTICAL is always scrolling across my brain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will it work around my kids? Will it fit under my winter coat? Will I be too cold? Will I be too hot? Will it show too much skin? Will I look too over the top?<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

But I finally realized that sometimes I need to quiet that voice, and go for the WHIMSICAL, and embrace items that serve me in more than just the ‘practical’ ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will I feel beautiful in it? Will I feel vibrant and alive? Will it make me want to flirt with my husband more? Will I walk confidently into a room? Will I want to twirl outside with my daughters? Will I turn up with music in the car just a little bit louder?<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This spring I’m stepping out of my comfort zone a little bit, I’m embracing cropped tops, big ruffles and long ties. I’m letting the practical take a pause here and there and I’m embracing whimsy and the dance moves that come with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
