Introduction

My name is Sue, and I have no style. That may seem like a blunt statement, but it's generally true. I am a late-30 something married mother of two boys and work from home business owner. I almost fit the soccer mom persona, although I have so far resisted the call of the minivan. I don't have to dress up for work, since my commute involves walking down my stairs. I do most of my work online, meaning my customers never get to see my typical work uniform of shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops (yes, even in the winter, just add a sweater).

I've always had an interest in style and wearable fashion. I remember my mom buying me my first Seventeen magazine (and stressing to me that I didn't really need to be seventeen to read it). I happened to pick up the first issue of Lucky magazine ten years ago and I was hooked on their depictions of attainable style. (God I wish I still had that first issue!) However, I've never really made the effort to decide what my own style really is. I've made it a goal for myself to figure that out. I've decided to create this blog to document my "style safari", going out in search for what I like and what works for me. Call it a mid-life crisis; I'm compelled to figure out who I am really, other than "Mom", down inside, and pull that to the surface.
