Freestylin\\\’

This month, Fashionista Today is going to be going through a change in lifestyle — blogstyle — you know what I mean. I originally started this blog with the intentions of blogging specifically about fashion. However, I want to open the scope to issues of interest to stylish women who aren’t quite single. While I’m not only a parent, but a partner — I still hold lots of interest in relationships and how they work and don’t work. Stylin’ is always going to be a part of my life, so that’s not going to drop. Why keep these issues separate when a woman can be all of that in one package?

I get irritated when I immediately get defined by others as a mother, and a mother only. Yes, I am a mother, but I’m also a girlfriend. I am also a partner, a daughter, a sister. I have a sweet tooth the size of my head and neck. I’m a writer and a critic. I’m also criticized! I’m a designer, a Capricorn, an aetheist, and a person of color. I am right handed and stubborn. I’m someone who doesn’t know how to drive a stick shift. I’m a strong supporter of homebirthing and midwives.

So, what exactly is a fashionista (today) really about? Fashion, fashioning, being fashioned after… it’s not all about clothes and designer labels. It’s about creation, shape, style — quirkiness. Some of it is charming, some of it is cool, some of it is extremely eccentric.
