What Socks Should Be Worn With Mary Janes?
How To Wear Chunky Sweaters Stylishly
Q. I am a 25 year old mom of two under two. I love everything about fashion but with two I find I don't have as much time. After having two kids and turning 25 I feel I need a change and a more age appropriate wardrobe and something other then the classic mommy wardrobe of tees and sweats. I am a stay-at-home mom but would like to look fashionable and attractive. I am 5'4, small framed and a larger chest. Please help me feel attractive while being a stay at home mom.
Q. I just discovered your website and am loving it! Do you have any ideas for a daily "uniform" for us moms with little ones in tow? I usually stick to a solid color polo or t-shirt with shorts or jeans. It's safe and easy....but boring. Can you recommend something well made but not expensive...tailored to those of us who are curvy (nursing and sporting a little leftover baby tummy?)
A. Good for you both for wanting something more stylish than tees, sweats and "mom" clothes. A daily "uniform" that is stylish, comfortable, quick to throw on and washable will make it easy to get dressed each day and prepare you for whatever is in store.
A layered look consisting of a cardigan, wrap sweater or jacket + t-shirt, tank or camisole + jeans, cords or capris with stretch is versatile and flatters a multitude of figures. Fill your closet with variations on this theme and you'll have the ultimate mix-and-match wardrobe. Top it off with comfortable ballet flats and a chic diaper bag and you're good to go.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
