I told you that I would be real, with y’all. Here is my body, 8 days postpartum. I’m not going to get them out to compare them, but I’m pretty sure you could compare this to my 15 or 20 week belly shot. Ugh. So, this time around in pregnancy, I vowed to be better. […]
So yesterday I started out a little “ranty” about the expectation that being a size zero has something to do with your being beautiful or valuable or worthy. Honestly, and I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, the size that’s printed on the inside of your clothes has literally no bearing on the […]
“Oh, please don’t take my picture.” I get it. You just had a baby. Or you didn’t. You’re *just* a mom. You’re tired. You feel fat, you feel ugly, you hate your hair, you have wrinkles. You haven’t lost those 50 pounds, yet, that you said you were going to lose before you got your […]
Sometimes I feel like a broken record. I say it over and over again to my girlfriends – the ones that also have these little dictators running around and running them ragged, almost all day, almost every day. And I always get the same reply. “They just don’t understand…” “No, they really don’t.” Our husbands […]
Valentine’s Day sure has changed over the years. Last night, before I went to sleep, I whispered to my husband, “I didn’t even get you a card, this year”. He doesn’t do cards, barely even does gifts (did I tell you about my first birthday when we were engaged when he got me an electric […]
I understand it, because it used to be me. Five years ago, I would have had some comments about Lady Gaga’s midriff baring number from the Super Bowl halftime show. Granted, I don’t think I would have spread them all over the internet but I would have told whoever was within earshot, at least. And […]
So, this day is kind of a big deal in the US. It’s kind of a big deal for us, as women. Did you know that heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths in women, each year? That’s 33%! http://honor.americanheart.org/site/TR?fr_id=5042&pg=entry Knowledge is power, ladies. Did you also know that 80% of cardiac and […]
It’s a little funny. I can remember being in college and just out of college and generally liking how I looked and how my clothes fit. Sure, I could always have been a little slimmer here or there but I knew what I was and I was fairly comfortable in it. I also remember two […]
Chaos Styled is just getting started and the website is clearly under construction, but I’m still glad you’re here! Poke around a little and check back often! My goal is to help take the chaos that we all know as motherhood and turn it into your personal style!
Float into Summer knowing you are prepared for the sun, fun, fashion, and friendly at-home entertainment. Shortly after the April showers, the May flowers, and the wave of pollen which seems to cover every conceivable square inch of outdoor space, it quickly turns to Summer in the South. Tan lines, tank tops, and flip flops […]
From Sea to Shining Swimming Pool They seem to show up in the front section at Target earlier and earlier each year. But I’m finally ready to admit (even though we literally had snow last weekend), that maybe we are getting close to swimsuit season. For many of us, we have these big, lofty goals […]
