Not my style....

What a beautiful day.. the sun was shining, the bird chirping, and my bank account took a huge hit! Oops!

As I mentioned yesterday I was going shopping today to purchase new clothes for work. Normally my style (if you could call it that) is neutral tones; mostly black or gray, and jewelery is a minimum. I don't wear heels, I'm not frilly, I don't wear girlie colors,  and I like to be comfortable. Today, I was totally out of my element, and totally LOVING it!  I have to admit, I must have chosen some pretty cute stuff for my self-pronounced "fashionista" daughter to say to me (as she made me model everything I purchased, and then critiqued it), "I really, really, like that on you mom."  Followed by, "I tried once to rock the urban style, and couldn't do it, but it looks really good on you." 

Coming from my daughter, this is HUGE!

So, I am no longer feeling buyer's remorse on my purchases. The fact that I'm not feeling buyer's remorse is also huge. Because I am typically remorseful about any amount of money I spend on myself. I like giving to others instead.. it is just more rewarding, right? 

The lesson I learned today was this:  Although it is slightly uncomfortable to step out of my closet of comfort, if I can open my mind and try new things, I may just find out that it IS my style.  A new style to match a new me!
