Summer Style Rut . . .

I won't deny it.  The past few summers, I have been in a major clothing rut.  Now part of this has to do with being unable to devote more than a few dollars here and there to my wardrobe.  But the major issue has been dealing with a body going through major changes.  I was pregnant, recovering from surgeries or major illnesses, the list never really ends.  When I know my body is going to be changing a lot, I really don't devote major chunks of time and money to it.  The result is me in a pretty humdrum "wardrobe" if you can even call it that.

So, my question to you is this? How do you keep your "look" or "style" going when your size is forever changing?  I'd love some input.  More later, but for now I need to go stand in front of a fan.  It's sickeningly hot in the house!
