Here are some of the outfits I’ve worn recently as a mom of two young boys (Jack is 3.5 and Rory just turned one.) 👩🏻 🧥 👖 🥿 Lately, I’ve been leaning into outfit formulas that just work. I’m in a season of life where I need to be able to chase after my kids at the playground, get on the floor to build Magnatiles, and still feel like myself when I pass a mirror.
Comfort is non-negotiable... but so is feeling put together. I’m prioritizing jeans that actually fit and move with me, sweaters and tops that go with everything, and comfortable shoes so I can keep up with my boys.
For me, right now, it’s not about being trendy. It’s about feeling good, being present, and making life just a little bit easier.
If you’re in that same stage, juggling a million things and still wanting to look cute, this one’s for you. 🙌🏻 Swipe through for some of my go-to, real-life mom outfits that are comfy, practical, and pulled together... because we all deserve that! If you want links to specific things I’m wearing (like the investment coat I’ve worn for over 10 years, the ballet flats I swear by, or the jeans I rotate through the most), comment “WARDROBE STAPLES” below and I’ll send you my current wardrobe staples!
A wild Saturday night as a mom of two young boys with timestamps! I try to maximize the evenings. A little bit productive and a little bit for me! Tonight I folded laundry, cleaned the playroom, showered and blow dried my hair, prepped sourdough bread, needlepointed, and played some mahjong online!
I turned 35 last summer and, honestly, I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin... even without injectables! I love finding products that enhance my natural beauty without covering it up, and the new Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer from @jonesroadbeauty does exactly that. I used the shade “Ivory”! It’s lightweight, easy to apply (no mirror needed!), and gives me that effortless “your skin but better” look– perfect for busy mom life. 🙌🏻 #ad
Our town just got the sweetest, chicest little bakery! Sourdough everything with a side of immaculate vibes 🤍 🥐 ☕️ 🥖✨ Be back soon @thebakernj!
These April showers better result in the best May flowers we’ve ever seen… ☔️ 🌷 ☀️ in the meantime, comment “BUTTER” and l’ll DM you my outfit 🧈
I’ve been playing mahjong every week with some girlfriends and I brought some candy salad treats for everyone to take home. 🀄️ 🍬🩷 I definitely have a “mahj-or sweet tooth” 😉 (I live for a good pun!!!) I found these watercolor illustrations on @etsy by @lilas.hills and I will be personalizing everything with them from here on out!
The parent trap has always been one of my favorite movies and I met the Hallie Parker to my Annie James!
My roomie and I just bought the My K-cup Reusable K-Cup for only $18 to go with our Keurig. I strongly suggest getting one! It's cheaper in the long run & more eco-friendly!
I'm still on the fence about the Dunkin k-cups. As excited as I am to have Dunkin at home, I still stand by the fact that nothing I make will taste as good as the original from the store.
I have the same one by Mr. Coffee and I am loving all of the different K cups I can find. They have the reusable filters so you can still use the regular DD coffee.
I am partial to the hot chocolate and apple cider ones.
I love my Keurig too. It's a lifesaver in the morning and saves me a ton of money! I'm sad that they only sell the DD K-cups at Dunkin Donuts though.
I love Keurigs! We had one last year and it was the handiest little thing ever.
Awesome!!! I can't wait to try it!
I love my Keurig! It's kind of my baby. I like Caribou, so that's what I drink, but you have to try the hot cocoa! I also kind of need Starbucks K-cups, but I do have the make your own filter.
My kriton is my BFF! Because I now live in LA, my dunkin trips are few and far between so these new dunkin k-cups are changing my life!
I love the idea of the Kreurig, but I drink more than one cup of coffee at a time haha! My mom has one and loves it, but I opted for a coffee maker with a timer so hot coffee will be ready when I wake up for my morning class. Timed coffee pots aren't that expensive either. I got mine at walmart for around $40 I think 🙂
Did you know Keurig's have a little reusable filter? Instead of buying those individual things, you can buy your usual coffee and put two table spoons in and it works the same!
We have one in our apartment and I LOVE it! It's the perfect amount of coffee.
I definitely feel the exact same way about Dunkin Donuts coffee! My husband and I have the Cuisinart version of the many Keurig single cup brewing varieties and were at our local Dunkin the night their k-cups were shelved just to be sure we were privy to a box of "original"!! It is wonderful. Nothing less!!
