It started with a pair of leggings

So this is a post about me but like a lot of my life the girls do come in to play. How it took me a couple of YEARS to finally start buying Lularoe. A friend I made through my twin mom group started selling back at the start of it. I thought about buying but it was a nice chunk of change without being able to try it on. So as it got more popular more friends selling and even more friends hosting parties. Yet I still wouldn't buy because I hadn't tried any of it on.

Than a friend asked for my address and I gave it to her. Didn't think twice. People send the girls stuff all the time. Eventually a package arrived and I was from a person I didn't know. Inside was a pair of leggings not just any leggings but what in the Lularoe world are referred to as unicorns. Which basically means it's a much searched for pattern. It was a black background with yellow orangey dragonflies. It turns out this woman had been searching for the same pair but in a smaller side. She to had lost a daughter and dragonflies are something that reminds her of her precious child. My friend told her how I had lost Natalia and that dragonflies had a deep connection to them as well. When someone gifted her the size she was looking for she decided she wanted to pass on the gift to me.

So now here I am trying on these leggings for the first time. Surprise, surprise the buttery softness hooked me. See the price on them didn't bother me. The issues with holes didn't worry me because I knew plenty who hadn't had any issues. So when my friend had a part I bought several pairs. I've entered contest and won several of them. I now own several different pieces. Leggings, skirts, a dress, some sweaters/kimono.


For the first time in a long time I feel pretty. I find myself getting dressed instead of staying in pjs. Anyone who knows me, knows I dress to please me. Not to please anyone else. I love the floral patterns. I love the vibrant colors. I've seen some say how they leave the prints in their tops. Not in their bottoms. See I prefer the reverse since prints on top for me tend to stretch out and not look as pretty. 😂 The thing about clothing for me is you should dress for yourself. You should be happy. Your clothes should speak for you. My clothes say I'm crazy but fun. I'll try and take pictures to add later. That's it for now I do have a blog about the clothing and how it works for Aaliyah.
