Mom-chic

Being a Mom of two boys doesn't always earn the title of "chic". There are many days when I wear a comfy t-shirt and old jeans just so I can say I {got dressed} for the day. My days are filled with changing diapers, nursing, making lots of little meals, cleaning up lots of meals, playing with hot wheels, and pretending to be a dinosaur. Not very glam if you ask me! 

But that doesn't mean I can't make some effort in my wardrobe on the days when I can get in a shower before we leave the house. 

I have always loved clothes! I love the way I feel in a new outfit. I love pairing together things I've owned for a long time, and making {new} outfits out of them. 

Now, I am not a high fashion model, nor do I belong in any fashion magazine. My style is simple, comfy, and affordable. Reality is, if I buy a silk top that needs dry cleaned, I would never wear it. So why waste my time?! 

I have lots of clothes that can get messy and still wash up and look good the next time I wear them. And since I love to switch up my clothes so often, I love to buy stuff that is affordable! 

I literally try to buy quantity over quality...most of the time! I do invest in some good staples, but if there is a day when I just would love to wear a new shirt, I scrounge the clearance racks to find a good buy at a great price! 

I would love your feedback on how these outfits look! I will do my best to tell you what I'm wearing, where it came from, and the approximate price. 

Hope you enjoy this mom-chic style!

 I wore this outfit while running errands with my family this weekend. I love it for many reasons!

It is VERY comfy. I feel like it looks fancy, but I almost feel like I am in my pajamas.

This dress is one of the softest items I own. And you will never guess where I found it?! Clearance rack at Target...in the little girls section. Yes, I am only 5'1", basically the size of an 11 year old. So there have been many occasions where I hide in the girls clearance and hope people don't see me holding things up to see if they fit. 

The skinny jeans I am wearing came from the clearance rack at Ross. I own about 3 pairs and wear them a few times a week. They work so well with my boots, and even look great with flats.

Speaking of boots, these are the best. My mom gave them to me last year for my birthday, and I have for sure gotten my use out of them. Don't be surprised to see them show up here about once a week. There are flat, comfy, and totally worn in.
