I do the same thing, I went through my closet and threw out everything that doesn´t flatter my body. I have one pair of sweat pants and one pair of pallazzo pants for workouts, yoga, and lazy days, and then everything else is either pug or purchased to be comfortable and flattering.  also, its a lot of work to look fabulous everyday, I figure so long as everything fits me and doesn´t make me look like I don´t care then I´m good if I don´t have the energy or time , cute dresses you bought and want

Congratulations on your pregnancy!  I love my luscous dress, I have the Mira Mermaid (MInt) its so comfortable and flattering.  However the little mermaid is a bit of a trollop ;)  Im considering getting a couple of the other ones, there are some new ones coming out in a couple weeks I think.  I love the DeeDee too, I have the same one.  I didn't think about it being white until after I bought it and realized how easily it could get stained oops.  Then the first time I wore it, I got lipstick on it. 

The initial work of getting a great wardrobe is worth the freedom that it will bring later.  It takes a lot of work and money now, but it will last a long time and you will be able to just grab something out of the closet and go, knowing you look and feel great, instead of spending a bunch of time every morning going through a bunch of stuff you don't like/doesn't look or feel good, etc.  Keep it up! You're doing great :)

Congratulations Lee Anne! I'm so happy for you. My husband and I were just talking the other day about how beautiful pregnant pinup girls are. I'm sure you'll rock that Dee Dee baby bump and all :)

I'll definitely have to read more of that Glamourous Housewife blog, and I love that advice on living like a passionate Parisian woman, the core-outfit idea really is great :) I couldn't agree more about how things have changed from our once-proud-and-beautiful culture, I'm so glad to be a part of a community like this one that's trying so hard to bring it back one pinup girl at a time.

You've done a great job Lee Anne, especially in sharing your journey. Keep it all up, and I guess you'll be "pinup'ing" for two now :)

P.S. If you want to talk about some more pasionate Parisian fashion ideas, I should really tell you about Panty By Post some time. I think they're just what you'd love.

Congratulations!!! I hear you on the wardrobe "lazy days", here in Colorado it is so frikin cold and gray right now I really cant wear dresses without freezing my butt off! The thrift shop has become my best friend for finding comfy dresses and skirts to wear around the house and when its gets nicer outside. I will look at that blog and that book too, thanks for the advice!

I hear you on the minimalist fashionista! I read something awhile back about curating one's wardrobe. Art galleries don't jam all kinds of cheap crap into every nook and cranny, they have a select number of outstanding pieces. The idea of that really appeals to me. I don't want to be a total clothes horse, I just want a select number of quality items that make me feel fabulous. I'm a mother too (of five!) and I feel like I deserve to feel fantastic about my appearance as much as any other woman. I have learned that it doesn't have to take a ton of energy and effort to look put together, you just need to find your sort of "uniform" and from the sound of it, jersey dresses are the thing for you!
