ashion seemed to be so much more effortless before becoming a mom right? You could get up in the morning and easily find a bombshell outfit with matching accessories and head right out the door, coffee and confidence in hand. Well maybe not coffee for me, but you get it. It was all so simple, then came love, marriage and a baby in a baby carriage. It’s the life we dreamed of as little girls but we always imagined looking fab doing it. A dose of reality hit us accompanied by the smell of dirty diapers, burp cloths and candy soiled hands. The good news is that even though it takes a little more effort, being a mom with sass and style is attainable. Here are a few tips and minor lifestyle changes you can adapt to get your sexy back:
Plan what you wear: A little planning goes a long way. I know, I know, planning what you’re going to wear probably isn’t on the top of
your priority list right now and rightfully so. Time seems scarce, but carve out a little “me” time. It is oh so necessary for your sanity and your health. Trust me you’ll be a better mom because of it. Wear your oxygen mask first! When you’re choosing outfits for
your little ones, make a quick trip to your closet to do the same. You and your kids may end up matching inadvertently. My son and I wind up wearing the same colors on many occasions. Maybe it’s a psychological thing that happens when you’re planning
your outfits at the same time but it makes for decent photos if nothing else.
Think outside the box: When you approach your closet/ drawer, go with an open mind. You will be surprised at the looks you come up with when you do this.

You probably haven’t shopped for yourself in a while since now you shop for the kids every time you leave home it seems! Whether you have or haven’t bought anything for yourself recently, mix and match pieces! It works like a charm. No one will ever know you’re wearing that skirt you’ve had since college; they’ll admire the whole outfit instead. There are also great fashion apps available now that makes thinking outside the box simpler and even fun! I’m currently using “My Dressing-Fashion Closet”. It reminds me of Alicia Silverstone’s closet system from the movie “Clueless”. Pinterest is also another great app to draw fashion inspiration from and create boards of looks that appeal to you.

Make sure your mix and match pieces look exactly how you expected. Remember to add the accessories to the mix for a completed look.
Have fun implementing these tips and expressing your creativity. Whether you’re going for comfort and functionality or high glam, being a mom does not mean style goes out the window, no matter how old your children are.

Fashion is fun and when you view it with simplicity, it's easier to achieve the look you want and feel confident.
