How do you think - about YOUR fashion and style?

Hi, I’m Tonya Speaks. Catchy, right? While my married name may imply a lot, the truth is that I really didn't speak a lot growing up, but rather preferred to just blend into the background! Yes, a natural introvert, for sure.
Now that I'm age 40+, happily married, an extremely proud Mom, etc., I find myself just a little different than my younger self. What changed?
Well, I was literally forced out my comfort zone by LIFE!
The biggest factor was my first "grown-up" job after college... a Merchandising Manager for a major department store. I definitely could not stay in my comfortable "shell" with a job like that! The vulnerability that I experienced was scary and still is in some instances, I admit. But what if I hadn't done it? I wonder how my personal story so far would be different.
You may find that your story is similar to mine. Or it may be vastly different. Regardless, this is a place where we can come together as women and share in the common ground of style for your best life-- whether for personal, business, or anywhere in between. After all, by definition, style is simply a way of doing things!
Since 2011, I’ve been implementing a system that helps my clients with their best style for personal image, wardrobe, and organization. And guess what? Thoughts of a Fashion Mom is about having fun with all the style and organizing ideas that are constantly swirling around in my head from the passion of what I do :)
So whether you are a fashion novice or an old pro looking for some fresh DIY ideas, welcome to my thoughts, my personal "less stress" tips and hacks, and most importantly a time of sharing and brainstorming together in style and life. Are you ready?
