Recently I was fortunate to work with the lovely Jane Flynn from the popular blog “The Hesitant Housewife”. Janes day consist primarily of looking after her nearly two year old daughter and she felt like she had lost herself and no longer felt like a woman or her own person, just a wife and mother. You can head over to her blog by clicking on the link and read her three part account of the journey of transformation we went on but here are a few details of how we got there.
Being a stay home mum, Jane does not wear makeup. Unfortunately though, many days she goes without moisturiser as well. I recommended a BB cream which acts as a moisturiser and also evens out the skin tone. I also suggested she have her eyelashes tinted to highlight her beautiful eyes without having to worry about putting on mascara every day. A bit of a trim and a semi permanent hair colour in a tone to match her colouring make a huge difference and now she can maintain it at home with little time and expense. |
My moto has always been if you feels comfortable in tracksuits thats fine, just make it the right shape and colour for you. For around $30.00 we got Jane out of her husbands baggy hoodie and into this great outfit that gives her shape but she is still comfy in. Covering up in baggy clothes is only going to make you feel bigger and more depressed. |
For a total of $263.40 we managed to 18 pieces including 1 new bra and 2 new pairs of undies (not shown). From which we created 14 different outfits. All of which suits Janes body shape, colouring, age, lifestyle and mort importantly, inner personality. You do not have to spend a fortune to look great. Once you know what suits you, you can build a wardrobe of clothes that you look and feel fantastic in, everyday! Below are a few example of some of the outfits we put together. |
