Fashion Model for…oh about 10 minutes

Self Care

Right around the time I decided to order the box service from my friend Carly, there was also a Facebook post by a local women’s fashion boutique, Misguided Angels, asking for volunteer models for their anniversary fashion show (which was a couple weeks ago but I’ve been procrastinating writing about it!).  Despite what people may think, I did not jump at this opportunity.  I’ve done some amateur modeling back in the day (mainly as a Washington Redskins Cheerleader), but other than that, the only modeling I do is re-modeling in my house.  Har har.

But this store has some awesome clothes and I thought, since I’m in a fashion rut, what fun to be able to try on some nice pieces that I would rarely buy for myself.   So I volunteered.

My biggest fear was slipping or tripping, so imagine my joy when I saw the shoes I was going to wear.

I know, right?!   But damn, they were sexy…as long as I was standing still!

Seriously though, it truly was a fun experience.  I went in the day before and tried on clothes.  The store owner had a good eye for what looks good on people, and was very quick to change things if it didn’t look right on me.  In the end, my outfit ended up being a pair of Miss Me jeans (my favorite…I own 2 pairs), a beautiful peasant top, the above neck-breaker shoes, and for a second outfit, I threw on a fashionable trench coat.  She added some accessories and a stylish handbag, and I felt like I was on a New York runway! 

In reality, once I snapped back to it, we walked out of the Misguided Angels store and walked one store down into the Virginia Wine Factory (thankfully that means the spectators, including the little ones below, were drinking wine and their vision was impaired as I wobbled by…I’m kidding about the little ones drinking wine, by the way).

This trench was oh so cozy and stylish, but about $261.99 more than my budget (actual price is $262).  But is that look “haute couture” or what?

The show ran for about an hour and included about 20 ladies from the area, including some of the cutest little girls.  The store is an awesome addition to this area, offering hot, stylish, unique clothes for women around my age, which is….oh please, I’m not going to announce my age on a public blog!

But if you live in the Loudoun County area, do come check out this boutique in the Brambleton Town Center.

Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent becaus Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent because I started the year off with a cold that left me tired and unmotivated. But I’m feeling better and starting my goal tracking a little late. I thought it would be helpful to combine all our goal trackers into one file for easy downloading and printing. The link to the all-in-one file can be found in our profile @everydayroadtohealthy ☝🏼. Swipe to see January printed at 75% and taped inside my planner. I’m hoping this works better for me this year!
💚 Start where you are. 🤎
