Today is so exciting! Why? Because I am sharing the outfits from the Spring Style Me Challenge from Get Your Pretty On. The challenge began last Monday and I did post the first three outfits last Wednesday. Today I’m posting outfits from Day 4-Day 9 with what I wore once the outfits were revealed.
This little challenge has been so much fun for me. Along with other challenges that I often participate in on a regular basis, I am beginning to love my own wardrobe. I find myself more content with what I have because I can remix things and force myself out of a familiar box of style. I am learning to love mixing patterns, adding scarves and wearing color pants. But one area that I have always struggled in is having clothes hug my body. I just feel uncomfortable or self-conscience or unattractive. But what I have found with mixing my wardrobe up and especially with mixing patterns is that I feel more confident and less self-conscience of my imperfections. This is a great step forward. A huge blessing!
And do you know what makes a challenge even better? Friends! People…ok real people who I’m sharing experiences with via the web but it’s genuinely a sweet and precious atmosphere. How great is it to be doing this challenge with ladies from all over the US and Canada? It makes my heart just rejoice! So if you like people…I hope you like people! Then scroll down to the end of end of this post and click on some other bloggers who are participating in the challenge. We are linking up togehter here as well. Oh, enjoy in the photos and the blogs. Breathe in that beauty of everyone’s creativity.

Sarah, I think I have kinda struggled with body image issues since I was a teenager. I’m lots more comfortable now {I should be since I’m about to turn 51 this year}!! Another thing that has helped was to discover my body type and then trying to dress for it. There are things I have worn in the past that I won’t wear in the future because they don’t work for me very well. Wearing things that are complimentary really has helped me look in the mirror differently. AND this challenge has also moved along in this journey. Glad you stopped by!!
