Since becoming a mom, I have no idea what to wear anymore. Most of my clothes don’t fit after giving birth. I just want to look presentable as well as comfortable.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a true fashionista or a basic babe, you still want to feel confident with your appearance. When I would wake in the mornings, I would spend a long time in the closet because it was so difficult to find anything that would make me feel and look put together. I also had to keep in mind, I have to be comfortable while trying to care for my little one. My mission was to start over and create a wardrobe I could be proud of and feel cute again. I’m sharing my tips and tricks on how to look and feel like a cool mama.
TRENDING TRACT SUIT
As a parent, your main focus is the care of your kids. So the idea of getting all dressed up each day just seems exhausting to me now. The easiest thing for me to do, at this time was to grab my black Adidas sweatsuit my mother had gifted me after I had my son. I was so grateful for this outfit because it made me feel more put together and was less restrictive. I didn’t have to think about matching an outfit together because the work was already done for me. So, I began to search for new track suits sets on my own. One of my favorite sites to shop is Fashion Nova. I have been able to find cute sets that could be dressed up or down. They can also be great transitional outfits for the changing seasons. You can add a denim jacket or boots to be ready for any kind of weather. Be adventurous and try different colors and styles that you would never normally try. Because you will be surprised at what you can pull off and how great it can feel great to reinvent yourself.
SIMPLE BASIC PIECES
Now, there has been lot of complaining on my part about putting outfit together, but there are some simple solutions I have recently discovered. My mother like to call this “table top dressing” which just means, having basic tops and bottoms that are able to create multiple outfit options. SHEIN is one of my favorite sites to order pieces of clothing that are so easy to mix and match. Their website and app are so simple to use and the categories are organized in a way to where you can find exactly what you are looking for.
Depending on the season, you should keep in mind what you like and how many options you want in your wardrobe. So for example, a couple of bottoms such as jeans shorts, or skirts would be a great starting point. Next step is to find shirts and blouses with a variety of patterns, materials, and styles so you won’t feel like you are wearing a uniform everyday.
FUNCTIONAL FOOTWEAR
Now, your new wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without a few pairs of new shoes. As a mom, the most important factor is being comfortable, since the majority of the day will be spent chasing around your little one. Sneakers are going be your best friend, so investing in a quality pair is great idea. Nike is one of my favorite shoe brands and the quality is always on point. I also love adding inexpensive athletic shoes to change up my style, save money, and save my expensive pair from being over worn. Amazon, in my opinion, has the best designer inspired sneakers that come in every color of the rainbow.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Major changes within motherhood can affect us, mentally, physically, and spiritually. So, why not try to make a negative concept into a positive one. A fresh new start is a great thing because you can re-invent yourself which can really boost your confidence. So, take some time to write a list of things you would like to wear and feel comfortable in. You will feel like a whole new person, who is ready to explore the world of parenthood.
