I think many other moms face this challenge. It is so easy to get "dressed" in your black yoga pants and t-shirt for the day, but honestly a pair of jeans and a few accessories can bring you out of frumpy mom style pretty quick!
I have occasionally been seen at the grocery store in my yoga pants, but for the most part I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. In future posts we will cover everything from boots to bras, but for today let's focus on dressing up a simple look with a few accessories.
So, you got out of your yoga pants and into well-fitting pair of jeans, right?! The hard part is over. Now, put on a t-shirt and add two things; a scarf and some earrings. Done!
I got several of these light infinity scarves on Pick Your Plum, they add a great layer to any outfit. Add some big earrings and you are officially accessorized. It gives me more confidence knowing that I have a hint of a style going on, and I don't get so many of the "you must be tired" comments.
I like the scarf as an accessory because, unlike jewelry, my two year old can't break it. Well, I am sure he could try, but it's not like a delicate strand of beads. They come in so many cute colors and patterns, and are an inexpensive addition to your wardrobe.
If you wanted to take it to the next level, you could add a cute jacket or sweater. We will be talking about the right shoes in an upcoming post as well, but for now grab some jewelry and a scarf and see what a difference it can make. Let me know how it goes!

ReplyDeleteMy challenge is a result from a condition known as RSD / CRPS in my arm / hand, where I cant with stand any wind touching it. This was the result of an accident; the driver that injured me, she had said there was no insurance on her vehicle and the only other 2 witnesses was a relative (who couldn't testify) and a person that didn't have a green card. So I am stuck with the little I have left, after selling a lot, to pay just a small % (less than 1%) of the bills that keep piling. I always dreamed of having a home office but cant afford even the printer, desk, chair, computer, software etc. where I could do web designing, computer repair and software programming.
