“In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves.”

— Myla Kabat-Zinn.

I promise not to be a typical “Mommy Blog”. I know you have no reason to believe me about that, so let me tell you a little about myself and hopefully change your mind. Or click off this page now if you like… your call.

To those of you who chose to stay and read on, out of either curiosity or determination, welcome to Free Winona Style. That’s me, Winona. Not Ryder or Judd, just an average Winona with no claim to fame. I am, and have always been, incredibly interested in clothes. They’re my favorite thing about people. I went through my fair share of embarrassing style phases (I may be posting about my style through the years later on, if you are curious), and certainly devoted a huge amount of my life to developing my own personal style.

I had a pretty good handle on my personal style by 2018, and felt better in my own skin than I ever had. Then- in a completely unexpected turn of events- I found out I was expecting in April of 2019. While my pregnancy was unplanned, I was excited to bring my child into the world and can’t wait see their personality and style come to light.

As you can imagine, with all the body changes that come with pregnancy, my personal style boiled down to “Items that fit over my belly” for most of 2019. Now, in 2020, and after the birth of my daughter in December 2019, I am on a mission to embrace my body with all its changes, and show it as much love as possible by dressing it in clothes that look and feel good. Stay tuned as I document my old style and build my new style!
