Bored with myself- how do I spice up my life? Get out of this rut?

Lately I have found myself staring longingly at ladies with style... funky, out there creative moms. I am 27, work as a cashier (and sew custom vintage style aprons, kids accessories, dog accessories)...

Okay, I'm not exactly sure what I am asking... I juse feel bored with myself. I wear the same old stuff, go to the same old places, do the same old things. I feel like I am in a rut and need to break free and be a little unique, wild maybe... it just seems my life is following this boring, non special pattern...

I would love to like re-invent myself... I just got my super long hair cut short (I love it, so much edgier!), have been sewing myself up new clothes, got a new job... but I still feel so BLAH about myself. I used to be so hip and funky... now I'm a frumpy mom to 2 (wonderful) kids.

I feel sort of at a loss with myself... any tips on how to get back to the old me, how to break out of this rut I'm in?

My mom turned to Victoria Secret. At first, she bought tons of sexy bras and panties. Then she started buying the clothes (they have some things for any age!) and she lost weight. It made her a whole new woman.
