Outfit Details
The cashmere scarf was a Poshmark find | I wear a small in the leggings and in the sweater |
size up in the sneakers, they run small
Some might describe this as the ultimate mom outfit…
and they would be right. Ha! There are some days where denim does the trick, when a pretty dress makes me feel dreamy… and then there are some days when leggings are the ticket. I used to really reject the idea of leggings as pants, but I think really what I was shying away from was my insecurity on how to style them. There was something a bit too mom about a classic long sleeve tunic tee, leggings, and running sneakers (for my personal taste of course). These days, I have found a happy rhythm in my legging outfits that have solved that problem quite nicely.
The first?
Keep it monochrome. I like a legging outfit much better when the whole look is kept to oneish palette.
The second:
Accessorize wisely. I still like a good tunic length sweater with my leggings, but when I go that route I like to break things up a bit with a scarf thrown around my neck, a cool hat, and a more chunky pair of sneakers than the typical running shoe. Keeps the look more interesting and effortless.
Well that’s all my rambling for today. Tomorrow is David’s birthday so I need to sign off early in order to get to bed early. I’m giving him sleep in privileges tomorrow while I get everyone ready for school… and that right there is a sign of the times my friends. You know you’re at a certain stage in parenting when that’s the thing you ask for on your birthday!
