Do you ever wake up and tell yourself, “Today, I’m going to have a relaxed day?” If you can relate to this, too, I’m not alone.

Today is one of those days for me. A sweatshirt & boots, glasses, no makeup, and I’m wearing my naturally curly hair in all of its coiled glory.

And it feels great! As women, we are on 24/7. Our outfits are fashionably flawless, our makeup and hair are slayed and laid, and our shoes speak for themselves. We also have other things on our beauty and self-care to-do-list such as getting a manicure and pedicure, a facial or wax, our hair cut or colored, braided or straightened, and possibly a day at the spa. And let’s not forget bra and panty shopping and of course, shoe shopping!

Needless to say, we have busy days. And nights, too. And don’t get me wrong, I love doing all of the extra girly things—they’re so much fun—and that will never change for me. I’m proud to be a girly-girl and I love fashion and shopping as if my life depends on it. Creating your own personal style feels like you’re creating art. I embrace womanhood and all of the beautiful things that encircle it. Because when you look good, you feel good, right?

But also, I enjoy the days when I can keep back and relax in a sweatshirt with no makeup. It makes the busy days of rushing through the daycare door to pick up my child after a crazy day at work or grocery shopping within an hour a little better. Because I know that I’m going to have down days like today to look forward to.

I’ve learned that I can look fabulous in a fierce dress with stiletto heels, and I can’t look fly in a sweatshirt and Sperry books with no makeup.

I’m thankful that I’m able to interchange my look and feel beautiful in whatever I choose to wear.
