Are you lost when it comes to rocking your personal style? Did motherhood completely derail your passion for fashion? Is lack of time, money, or a consistent waistline keeping you from looking your best?
Trina Holden knows how that feels. After 3 kids in 5 years, and the challenges that brings to the budget and the body, beauty in the form of personal style had completely fallen by the wayside. Until the day she decided that she didn’t want to live without this source of joy and fulfillment any longer, and began to rethink her approach to style, and relearn how to dress her body well.

In this candid and sometimes hilarious book, Trina shares her journey to embracing beauty in the season of motherhood. Every chapter is crammed with practical inspiration and tips for defining your style, choosing clothes and accessories that work for you, and combining it all into a look that will bring joy to your day, and bless those around you.
Because clothes are not just a covering–they can be a way to express our very soul, a song we sing to those around us. Trina gets to the heart by showing how engaging in the creative process of dressing ourselves well can actually echo God’s love for beauty, and be a witness to those around us of our Father’s character.
From the proper motivation to the correct measurement for a bra, this book covers the whole journey to embracing personal style. Chapters focus on creating a personal color scheme, strategies for pregnancy and nursing, and all the waist sizes in between. In addition, you’ll find an entire section on building your wardrobe on a budget with Trina’s tips from years of experience thrift shopping, including
“10 Questions to Ask to Avoid Bringing Home a Wardrobe Orphan”
“Thrift Shopping With Kids in Tow”
and even
