#43 - Challenge Week 3 – The Style Upgrade

Lily scrolls through fashion blogs with the determination of a detective solving a case. She’s on a mission: find her new style. Not a drastic change—just a little refresh. Something that says, yes, I’m still me, but slightly cooler.

Click. Print screen. Click. Print screen. Her phone fills with images of effortlessly stylish women. One rocks a bold blazer, other struts in chunky boots, and someone is wearing—wait, a bright green sweater? Could I pull that off?

Excited but skeptical, Lily decides to test the waters. She swaps sneakers for ankle boots on the school run. Nobody notices. Next, she tucks in her sweater. Her daughter Ella squints. “Mom, why are you standing weird?” “I’m posing,” Lily mutters. 

Then comes the real challenge: a bold jacket. She hesitates in front of the mirror. Too much? Too little? Her husband Ben walks by, glances at her, and says, “Nice!”

That’s all she needs. Lily grabs her bag, feeling like a slightly upgraded version of herself. Small changes? Conquered. What’s next? Maybe… that green sweater.
