As a mother, my go-to items are:
a. Sweats
b. t-shirt and jeans.
Why is that we mothers think there is nothing else to wear? I am constantly pulling myself out of the jeans and t-shirt rut.
I feel frumpy, I feel so un-sexy, I feel like a total… mom. And not in the good fill-your-heart way, the bad let-yourself-go way. It is easy to do though, and I like easy.
You know what else is super easy? Dressing up that jeans and t-shirt look with a few accessories.
It will take you from frumpy, i-don’t-care-about-my-looks mom, to sassy, boho-chic-those-teens-got-nothin-on-me mom.
repeat offender headband: target | cream shirt: old navy | gold chain necklace: urban outfitters | belt: hand-me-down from my mother-in-law. | rings: collected over the years.
I added a headband, necklace and a belt. Viola!!
Accessories are a mom’s best friend, I tell you what.
A bonus to accessorizing is that you don’t have to spend a fortune, or buy a bunch of clothes to mix up your look. Something that’s important to me right now with living simply. I love that I can wear this shirt and jeans with a blazer and scarf and have a completely different look. Two outfits in one? Yes please!
Is this outfit the most fashionable thing ever? Um.. no. But did it make me feel a little more put together than a plain jeans and T would have? Absolutely.
