Good for casual wear and keeping up with trends. For $30/year, she sends out a weekly style tip sheet and a shopping guide based on your body type. She also is a big believer in taking care of yourself and looking better makes you feel better. I LOVE your story about Kim - she sounds like a wonderful person to have as a friend!

I have been wrestling with this for about a year or so. Being a work from home mom, it is tempting to put my appearance lower on my priority list because "no one is even going to see me today" Right? Yet, I know that I just feel the difference when I am a bit put together rather than working at home in my sweats or PJ's. In fact, one thing that I recently committed to was to start getting my hair cut every two months. Before I had children, and we had two full-time incomes, I would get my hair cut and colored regularly (for a pretty penny I might add.) Once the girls came along, and I was home full-time I had a hard time justifying the expense. And although I still can't justify the high-end salon prices, I have done my research and found a wonderful stylist who cuts and colors for a fraction of what I used to pay. So instead of going without, and letting my looks slide (which does impact my overall confidence), I have found a way to have both a great hair style on a reasonable budget. I agree this topic is one that many mothers wrestle with. Thanks for starting the discussion. ;) Amy On Twitter @amymiyamoto Angie,
