I have never, ever looked good in a twin set. Believe me when I first got married my husband tried in vain to go get me to dress-up in a style he thought was best suited for me. And being that when I met him I was 22 and dare I say it a wee bit impressionable, I acquiesced and took him shopping with me. Suffice it to say it was a NIGHTMARE. We spent the bulk of our time screaming at each other behind the closed doors of our dressing room- and although he convinced me to take home a few buttoned down preppy shirts and attempted to clone me in the image of an L.L. bean cover girl- I just could not go along with his vision for me. To this day he says I never took to the “Classy Look”. And while I can admit that I definitely experimented with a few BAD style choices as a 22 year old-year, now that I’m 44 and completely comfortable in my skin I have carved out a style that is my own which my husband says is devoid of any sleaze factor.
This is not to say that I don’t opt for conservative pieces and muted colors, I do, but I also really enjoy adding different colors and textures and if truth be told I like everything I wear to be TIGHT. I am a TINY girl. I am four feet 11 inches tall with a double D chest size. I I wear any blouses without a waist I get LOST in the garment. While my husband would prefer I wear more loose-fitting garments, after 18 years he has decided this is ONE ARGUMENT HE WILL NOT WIN.
I also love to experiment with feminine and sporty pieces and to have fun and wear these red and pink cowboy boots I got in Ohio for $25. So I thought it would be fun to scour Pinterest for some eclectic outfits and share a few of my favorites with you!

I live for dressing up a Graphic Tee and pairing it with my jean jacket. Love this look from Penny Pincher Fashion
And Camo Pants are one of my essential GO tos! I love this look from xoxo Cleverly Yours: baseball tee & camo pants
And of course I can’t EVER have enough BLING and sparkle in my life- ! Love this Gold Jacket from theglitterguide.tumblr.com
And while my style may not RESONATE with that of my husband’s idea of what my style should be- 18 years of mostly wedded bliss later we are making it work and learning to live with ( and LOVE) each other’s individuality.
But the real question is: How ( if at all) has your style changed from when you first met your spouse to the present?
Can’t say I really have a particular “style” and it does kind of change from time to time… if anything I probably dress UP a lot more than I did ten years ago. Don’t know if my husband likes it or not, but now that you got me curious, I’m going to ask him today! But, I too LOOOOVE eclectic “Carrie Bradshaw” looks. You can totally carry that off, but I don’t have the body for it… or the environment! haha Love it though.
I am mush more the along the lines of dressing conservative. I enjoy bright colors and looking nice. We live on a farm and jeans and t-shirts are standard work clothes for us. Everyone has different lifestyles which make us who and what we are.
Oh, these are such cute styles! I find it is more my body type than the cut of jeans that I am more often displeased with, but I understand what you mean. Too fun, thanks for sharing!

I haven’t really changed my style because of anyone but I now that i think of it, I think I tried to adjust what I’ve been wearing during the recent days because of my mood with other people. Are they causing this change or is it just me? Good question! But one thing’s for sure, I really love that Anthropologie skirt, I feel like it says a lot of things with its simple but radiant look and contrast with a good upper part.
My husband seriously does not have a care in the world with what I wear. I found it odd he’d be the one wanting to take you clothes shopping. That is totally unlike my husband.
I like all the alternatives you’ve shared to mom jeans. I will admit that I wear them here and there, but I do prefer trousers or a dress.
There are so many cute pieces here. I love the idea of dressing up a tee with jewels and a jacket!
There are so many outfits here that are adorable. I definitely don’t dress the part of a mom most of the time.
I wear jean jackets with everything. They’re just some. All of these outfits look great and I’ll have to check them out.
Haha I love your post! Personally, I never liked jeans of any kind. They’re so tight and uncomfortable. I’m always the most comfortable in a dress 😀
Who needs mom jeans when there are so many cute outfits you can wear-and you sure do! I always love to see what you’re wearing.
When I was working I wore suits but now that I’m retired I’m back to what I consider a style that’s more me! I don’t want to look like everyone else and I would never wear mom jeans either! I love graphic T’s, Jean jackets and I have more than one pair of harem pants! I DO love your gold glitter jacket and the tulle skirt AND if I was younger and a few pounds thinner I would go for it! I love to shop and I love clothes and YES I’m that person that dresses up to go to the grocery store! 🤣 I just feel better when I’m “put together” and I’ve noticed that you get better service that way! My husband doesn’t really care what I wear and he is always quick to tell me how cute I look! However he does on occasion just shake his head and ask if I’m really going to wear that! Well of course!!! I just really love to think outside the box!
Very fascinating material that makes you think. It is nice to see such a high-quality approach to writing articles. I look forward to new publications!
Fresh poppy pods are the seed pods that are harvested from the poppy flower. Poppies are known for their beautiful flowers, but it’s their seed pods that are of the most value. These pods contain the seeds for the next crop and, when dried, they are frequently used in floral arrangements and other decorative crafts. By using fresh poppy pods, you can take your art to the next level as it gives a natural and pleasant look to your creations.
