Since becoming a stay at home momma, I spend most if not all of my day in my pjs or tights and a tee. Somewhere along the way I'd lost the motivation to get dressed. I used to love fashion and creating wacky outfits, and it was a big part of who I was.
Right now I am kinda in this weird transition of learning to love this new body that feels super foreign to me, and discovering who I am as a person again (not just Amelia's mom). I'm finding it difficult to take the time I need for myself everyday.
Kelly Rae Roberts(who is a huge inspiration to me) started posting her daily
outfits online and asking for others to play along with her #thewearyourjoyproject. It's not about making the perfect outfit, it's about wearing things that make you feel good about yourself and that you enJOY wearing.
I love how Kelly put it,
"...the practice of getting dressed in the morning with intention."
" Moving from what do I want to look like to how do I want to feel?" and
"...moving from I'll never loose the weight to I have big gratitude for this healthy body and how can I celebrate it's creative spirit/expression today."
She wrote this amazing blog post on the why's and how's of this idea.
For me this is a chance to feel motivated and hold me accountable to get dressed everyday, even if I am not going anywhere. I find that getting dressed helps me get more accomplished during the day too!

began to enJOY the practice of getting dressed in the morning with
intention. Do I love it? Great, then it goes on my skin. Do I not love
it? Then it doesn't go on my body. The self talk is moving from what do I
want to look like to how do I want to feel? And it's also moving from
