    I began this year deciding it was high time I took a little more care of myself. I needed to find my style. Something a little more than just jeans with holes in the knees and a t-shirt. I’ve found the beauty of accessorizing, adding some color, and clothes that truly fit my body. 
    One of my favorite places to browse for accessories this year has been Cents of Style. I actually bought my first pair of boots from them last year around this time. Then I got their American Flag scarf, and lately I’ve been eyeing the infinity scarfs and cute hats they’ve got. 
    Although I oftentimes feel like I was the only female who never really got fashion, just put on whatever without any thought to it, I know there are more of you out there. Perhaps you’re too busy, you don’t think it really matters, your budget is limited, or you put so much into taking care of everyone else it’s just too exhausting to dress yourself up as well. 
    I want you to know you matter to me. I’ve been there. I’m slowly finding my way out of my fashion rut. It doesn’t actually cost too much to care for yourself. For a couple years I was wearing pants with holes in them because I “didn’t have the money” “they’re still comfy” “No one notices me”. Guess what though, they do notice. If your kids clothes are falling apart, you’d get them some new ones (even second hand), so do it for yourself too. 
    If you need some inspiration. Or know someone that you want to gift a little fashion to this Christmas, today is the day to do it!  Cents of Style is offering 1 full year subscription to Glamour Magazine and scarf (in 5 different colors) for only $12.95 + Free Shipping – make sure to use Code FASHIONFRIDAY
