One Photo at a Time

How LuLaRoe is Changing my Life - One Photo at a Time

   There was a time in my life when getting out of bed was a challenge.  I wasn't embracing my new, older body; and I was definitely not thrilled with all this white hair.  Sure, I could dye it - and I tried, but the three day migraines from the chemicals just wasn't worth it!
  My 'go to' outfit each day consisted of yoga pants, t-shirt and hooded sweatshirt.  Who did I need to look pretty for?  It's not like I had a job.  Being a house wife was great when I had kids, but they all grew up and there was no longer any daily adventures.
   What changed?


   Six months ago, I was introduced to these fantastic clothes - they were comfortable, stretchy, flexible, casual, dressy,  . . .  and I loved them!!!  Within two weeks, I was no longer in those yoga pants and t-shirts.  I was wearing dresses with leggings and perfect strangers at the stores were coming up to me and complimenting my outfits.
   With my new confidence, I ran back to my supplier and signed up to sell this stuff too.  LuLaRoe . . . simply comfortable.  It was their tag line, but it was one I could get behind.  And I started my six weeks of training as part of a fantastic group of supportive and positive women.  Who know they were even out there?
   I became a LuLaRoe Consultant, and in eight weeks, I completed every challenge my trainers and coaches put out there. The biggest one was to get in the clothes and post pictures on Instagram and Facebook.  Yikes!!!  I'm not a model and I sure ain't skinny anymore.  But, I was all-in!!!
   What I learned?  Picking a new outfit to post everyday became a challenge in style.  I learned what items looked best together and I learned to pattern mix like a pro.  Sure, I had some flop outfits but they are few and far between these days.
   I learned that I look great in just about every style LuLaRoe has to offer.  It's all about the pairing and whether I tuck it in or leave it out.
   I learned that my white hair looks great in the sunlight!  And it doesn't bother me anymore because my Instagram followers have left me enough compliments that I feel GREAT!!!
   So now my pictures are more than me standing in the corner and smiling.  I am finding playful ways to show the clothes.  Yes, I come off as a tad quirky . . . but that's OK!!! I am quirky and I am sharing that with my customers - connecting with them one photo at a time!!!
