As a working mom or stay at home mom, some things need to be a bit more practical. Some items on the lists we should keep but there are some that we can tweak!
One item I have read about on past lists is the white shirt.
I have at least 3 white shirts in my wardrobe but I have not worn them in a very long time. I "think" I will wear them one day. They really need to be at Goodwill.
As the mom of a toddler I just cannot entertain the thought of what would happen to a white shirt on the average day.
I have seen a lot of moms out there who are so tired and stressed from focusing on their kids and not on themselves. We always put ourselves and outward appearance last. Time to get it together moms!
These are the items we can wear to work and play. They can withstand the puling, food spills and park runs. And we can still look hot!
Here is the list of my picks below along with 7 extra items. I provided links to some of the items from websites around the country The best part ? It will not make a large dent on your budget! You can mix and match these 18 items all the time. This is all you will need to look pulled together.
Instead of a full trench try a Cropped Trench- Victoria's Secret
Trench
Striped Tee( long or short sleeve)- $29 bucks at the Gap!
Striped Tee from Gap! Great Price!
Ballet Flats- Instead of Red Ballet Flats, try black or another color. Think about your wardrobe before you buy. I have a red pair and I do not wear them very often.
Steve Madden
Ballet Flats
Jeans- 2 pairs one in regular length and long length for heels. Instead of flared jeans which may not be flattering to all try boot cut.
Gap Jeans
Cargo Leggings or pants- To wear with boots. Banana Republic
At least 2 necklaces that give pop to any outfit.
Anthropologie necklace for $48.00
A colorful men's size watch. Tocs sells great watches that last forever and the price!!
