jsmith+FollowI Tried Heels Again—and Felt Like a Different WomanIt’s been years since I wore heels. Flats, sneakers, and slip-ons have become my everyday staples—comfortable, practical, and easy on my feet. But the other day, I pulled out an old pair of black pumps from the back of the closet. Just for fun. Just to see. And when I put them on… something shifted. I stood taller. I looked in the mirror and felt a version of myself I hadn’t seen in a while—confident, powerful, even a little glamorous. It wasn’t about impressing anyone. It was just… me. Remembering that I could still feel like that woman. Of course, after 20 minutes, the foot pain set in. And let’s be honest—I’m not wearing them to the grocery store. But still… it made me wonder: 👉 Do you ever wear something just to feel like your old self again? 👉 Is it worth the discomfort to feel that little spark? 👉 Or have you found other ways to tap into that same energy—without the aching toes? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

tracyparker+FollowWhy Do I Still Feel Frumpy Even When My Clothes Fit?Lately, I’ve been staring into the mirror wondering... “Why do I feel frumpy, even though my clothes technically fit?” I haven’t gained weight. My wardrobe still includes the same brands I’ve trusted for years. My pants zip. My tops aren’t too tight. And yet—something just feels off. I used to feel polished, put-together, even kind of stylish. Now? I feel like I’m just dressed, but not really me. Is it the cut of the clothes? The colors? Am I stuck in an old style that no longer suits who I am now? Or is it that midlife shift no one warns you about—when your confidence and your closet don’t always walk hand-in-hand anymore? I’m not looking to be trendy. I just want to feel like myself again. ✨Comfortable and confident.✨ Has anyone else gone through this?
