being a mama and keeping my personal style can be a challenge at times. i will admit that when i had julian and milla plum back in my early twenties i gave into the mom sweats and t-shirt look. i wore my hair in a bun almost everyday and rarely wore make up. this time around i was terrified that i would become that "typical mom" again. i made a pact with myself that through pregnancy and post pardom, i would not allow myself to lose myself again. i think i've done a pretty decent job at it. i get dressed most days. i put make up on most days. i do my hair most days. i want to look good for my kiddos and myself. i allow myself two pajama days a week. the other five i get dressed and try to make plans with my mister, kiddos or friends so i don't slack off in the mom style department. it's easy to do when your a mama bird like me.
i've been planning this little style project for awhile now and am hoping that all you mamas out there will join me in addressing some of the mom style issues that so many of us have dealt with and help break the "mom style" stereotype . i have some really fun features and challenges up my sleeve that i hope you will participate in.
today's style tip: a few staples that i think every mom can wear regardless of weight or height: a cardigan sweater, a comfortable maxi dress and cute flats. you can't go wrong with these three things in your closet.
sweater: c/o modcloth.
maxi dress, vintage.
necklace, vintage.
shoes, u.o.
