When is the last time you looked in the mirror and thought, “Damn, I look good!”? Or felt sexy or beautiful? We, as women, take care of so many other people and get so caught up in our day to day lives that we forget to stop and take a moment and do something nice for ourselves.

It’s not about being selfish- it’s about being conscious of how we treat ourselves. How can you really expect to take care of others if you can’t even take 5 minutes for yourself? Moms especially have a hard time with this one. Set a good example for your kids by showing them that you’re important too.

Going out with the girls or on a date? Here are a few simple tips to help you feel fabulous again!

1. Take time to actually get ready. Have your baby sitter come over an hour earlier to give you some extra time just for you. Do your hair, put on makeup, paint your nails.
2. Put on a pair of heels. Nothing makes a woman feel sexier than a great pair of heels.
3. Leave the “mom bag” at home. Grab a cute clutch and go. All you really need is your cell phone, keys, a credit card or cash, and some lipstick.

Think back to the last time you felt sexy. What was it about you then that made you feel that way? I challenge you to find your inner diva, once again. But this time- welcome her, hold on to her, and bring sexy back- even if it’s only for one night.

Found that perfect item? Is it worth the price? Think about this: cost per wear.

For example, If you need a dress for a fancy event and it is $300 and you only plan on wearing it once- cost per wear: $300. If you find a pair of jeans that fit you like a glove and are $200 but you plan on wearing them 200 times this year- cost per wear: $1. (And as far as jeans go, if you do find that perfect pair- BUY THEM! If you can afford to buy two pairs- do! One to wear with flats and one to wear with heels.)

Granted, you can’t substitute the jeans for the fancy dress. However, if you decide you will only wear the $300 dress to this one event- maybe you should look for one that is less expensive or a dress that will serve multiple purposes.

This will help to put your purchases in perspective of how much an item is worth to you based on how often you think you will wear it.

1. The Little Black Dress. Look for a classic style that is simple in detail that accentuates all the areas you love.
Day: Wear it with flats and a sweater for the office with simple jewelry.
Evening: Ditch the sweater and dress it up with heels and an eye-catching necklace for evening.

2. Dark Wash Jeans. Find a pair that is either boot cut or trouser style and wear them with almost anything!
Day: Perfect for casual Fridays, running errands, and lunch with the gals. Pair them with a simple cotton t-shirt, a belt, and pointy-toed flats.
Evening: Throw on a silky blouse with a fun pair of heels and a great clutch.

3. A Blazer. Look for a simple one in a neutral color such as black, brown, navy or gray so you can pair it with virtually any pant or skirt. For the most flattering style for all body types- it should fit properly in the shoulder, come in at the waist, and have seaming on the front.
Day: Wear it with a colorful tank, skirt or trousers, and heels.
Evening: Wear it with jeans, a funky t-shirt, and sexy heels for that easy-but-put-together look.

4. A-line Skirt. The most flattering of all skirts! Keep it simple or find one with a great pattern to mix and match with a variety of tops.
Day: Pair it with a button down dress shirt and heels or a fitted t-shirt and flats for a more casual look.
Evening: Try it with a silky, flirty top and a pair of wedges in a fun color.

5. High Heels. I know everyone may not agree with this, but I think nothing makes a woman feel sexier than a great pair of heels. They make you appear longer and leaner. They come in a variety of colors and heights to fit any personal taste and lifestyle. So many to choose from…
Day: Depending on your daily activities- wear a lower heel with skirts, dresses, and trousers.
Evening: Get a little more daring with a higher heel in your favorite color! This is a great opportunity to express yourself!
