After reading this older article by Megan O’ Rourke in the nail salon, the urge to revamp my overstuffed, but somehow incomplete wardrobe became too much to ignore. It got me thinking about how my dress defines me. So far the confident, successful, and refined, but still flirty and sexy person I’m envisioning isn’t doing such a great job of reflecting that persona with my current wardrobe. And what about you moms out there who have lost the sense of the person you were pre-baby?
