When you are a busy mom sometimes, keeping up with the latest fashion or makeup trends and hair styles seems impossible or it may be the last thing on your to-do list. As a full-time working my mom myself, I totally get it. But honestly, looking good doesn’t have to be complicated or time consuming. The heart of style is in what makes you feel good inside and out, not trying to mimic or hold up to those looks we see on the runway. And looking good can take just as long as looking not so good. It takes the same amount of time and energy to put on a worn pair of yoga pants and old t-shirt as it does a nice pair of jeans t-shirt. These everyday style tips and wardrobe essentials for moms will help take the worrying or the hassle of looking good with little effort.
Making style effortless starts by having a few simple must haves in your closet; albeit, I wouldn’t walk out the door without my Crepe Erase, but my skincare routine is a whole different story. With these go-to items you’ll always be ready in a snap, before the kids start knocking on the door. Mix and match these items and you’ll be all set!
10 Must Have Wardrobe Items For Everyday Moms
1. A crispy white t-shirt. Pair with jeans and ballet slippers for running errands. Upgrade the look with a blazer and funky accent jewelry for happy hour with the girls. Skip the white shirt when home with the little ones and replace it with a patterned button up that will hide the messy spills.
2. Two nice pairs of jeans. Go for a rugged look in one pair and well fitted pair for second look. Add a blazer to upgrade either look. At home or on the go, wear them with sandals or ballet slippers, boots in the winter. Add some heels for happy hour or a dinner date.
3. A big floppy hat for bad hair days or when there’s no time to do your hair. I love a good hat during any season or any weather.
4. Solid color cocktail dress. Patterns are great but don’t work for all occasions. A solid colored dress fits almost any occasion and can be upgraded easily with nice jewelry. For a casual look, pair with sandals.
5. Bright colored summer dress for brunch, play date, or coffee by yourself. It takes seconds to throw on a cute dress. Why not keep a couple as your go to style when in a hurry? The best part of a summer dress, they fit you plus or minus some extra pounds. Keep a neutral colored sweater in your purse or trunk to keep the chill off in the A/C.
6. Metallic colored ballet slippers. These are comfortable and look great with jeans or a dress. And metallic is a hot style item.
7. Black cocktail dress for an evening out or date night. A little black dress takes you from errands to glam in a few seconds. Slick your hair back into a ponytail and you’re ready to party.
8. Two belts to add to any look. Go for a wide belt and a thin belt and don’t be afraid to add a belt to a dress or a romper. A belt does wonders for your waistline.
9. Some funky sunglasses for when there’s no time for makeup or you just want to go makeup free. No need to spend a fortune on glasses either when you can get designer eyeglasses at discounted prices.
10. A nice pair of pumps in a nude color. Nude pumps add height and class to many looks. Pair with a dress, jeans, and you’ll instantly dress up a casual look.
