#SAKlovesSMW

Did I really just make my blog title a hashtag?  Why yes I did!  The reason is because that's what this blog is all about.
Feb 18th-Feb 23rd was Social Media Week and Simply Audree Kate had created her own version on Instagram.  (Quick background on Audree:  Super cute redhead with great fashion sense based in Arizona!)  I was feeling bogged down with school and needed something to keep me creative so I figured why not give it a shot!

Here's the fun I had during SMW:

Day 1:  #ootd  I had been on set all day so my Outfit of the Day was something more than yoga pants and a top lol

Day 2:  Favorite Item In Your Closet.  Most of you know how much I LOVE patterned jeggings/leggings so naturally that's what I picked and since I couldn't decide on just one I picked my 2 favorites.  My Aztec print leggings and my floral print jeggins :)
Audree also posted her favorite item and like me it was more than 1.  Sometimes it's just too hard to pick one!

Day 3:  The best fashion advice you've received.  I'm not sure where I heard this but being a mom makes it hard to figure out what is fashion appropriate.  Just because I'm in my 30's and a mom doesn't mean I need to dress frumpy.  It can be a fine line sometimes but as long as I feel good and look good, then it doesn't matter what others think.
This is what Audree posted (love):

Day 4:  Favorite fashion quote.  I think as women we have a hard time accepting this but it is something we need to remember.  There is beauty in EVERYTHING regardless of whether or not others can see it.  #beyou
Audree's was more about fashion but definitely has a great message!





Day 5:  Blog topic you want SAK to write about.  I didn't get around to doing this one but I think a great blog would be how to rework you wardrobe by using your existing pieces.  What mom (& really anyone) wouldn't like this?  Most of us don't have the time or money to go out and shop so we need to recreate what we have in our closets.
I also thought that a post on how not to feel like a mom when dressed (does that sound weird??).  There are times when I put an outfit on that looked adorable in my head or in a picture and I look awful!  Very much like a mom.  Why didn't the other woman look like a mom and I do?  Why do I look so frumpy?  Granted this could be a personal perception of myself but that's besides the point ;)

I wasn't the only one that participated in SMW so if you want to see other #ootd's and quotes from other IGers search #SAKlovesSMW

You can follow Audree on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!

Stay foxy!!
