Happy Friday! I’ve really enjoyed the DC Ladies Blogtober so far. It’s shown me that I do have time to blog more often and the prompts have gotten me thinking. Today’s prompt was especially difficult – what was the best advice someone gave me.
Everything I thought of was generic and seemed contrite. Never give up! Always wash your face! Wear sunscreen! But then I was flipping through Pinterest and realized the best advice I was given (and seldom take) was given to me by my Momma.
Shopping is hard for a curvy gal like me with short legs. Crops become long pants, jeans need to be hemmed, shirts should hit my hips, blazers make me look like a linebacker … the list goes on. I am ALL about dressing for the body I have, not the body I want (and for that you are welcome). So obviously when it comes to finding something that works great, I need to buy it in every.single.color. And that day. It’s amazing how often I’ve hit a department store, found a gem, went back the next weekend only to find them sold out, discontinued or only in a size 10X or shmedium.
We all know by now – Momma’s always right!

OMG, excellent post and advice!! I would have never thought to use this for today’s blogtober prompt but it is spot on, way to go!
I totally agree! I usually buy 2 shirts in different colors if I LOVE how it looks on me, especially if I can use it for layering! Great answer to the Blogtober prompt!
