COMFORT is key.

This may seem obvious, but how many times have we admittedly squeezed into an ill-fitting dress or shoes that were too narrow, to keep up with the latest fashion trend or because the alternatives didn’t look chic enough?

You certainly won’t be looking (or feeling) fab, with that streak of pain across your face, or cuts and bruises from pieces that simply were not the right fit. Comfortable clothing and accessories allows you the freedom to play the heck out of your outfits…and still create that stylish vibe you’re going for. Unbelted dresses, with a mid-calf boot, are one of my fav ways to keep things chic, yet not over-dressed for those school drop-off lines in the morning! @zara has a ton of dresses in every style and silhouette. @frye boots are awesome for classic boots with amazing quality.

The joy of COLOR.

If you’re willing and ready to add a pop of color, choose one that makes you smile…like that favorite crayon you always reached for as a kid and used until it was worn down to its last nugget

It’s okay to stray from what I call LBOs (little black outfits) or a mostly neutral wardrobe…because let’s face it…piecing together outfits is so much easier when your closet isn’t a rainbow of hues.

If you’re willing and ready to add a pop of color, choose one that makes you smile…like that favorite crayon you always reached for as a kid and used until it was worn down to its last nugget. Don’t we all deserve to bring out that care-free, inner-child within us?

Bright-colored bags or tops are a fun way to accent a pair of neutral denim jeans or skirt. @francescas and @zara organize their stores by color scheme- cheers to anything that saves time for the busy Mom-on-the-go!

Same jeans, different day :)

Here are 3 completely different outfits, with the same pair of my most coveted jeans.

Creating different looks does not mean breaking the bank. Go easy on your wallet and save that cash for your dream trip or bucket-list experience. Here are 3 completely different outfits, with the same pair of my most coveted jeans. I’ve particularly warmed up to wearing them with a tucked-in shirt (or tee) and layered with a classic blazer or cute cardigan. You can even add an edgy, metal-embellished belt. Oh the possibilities…!

@hm is where I found these super comfortable, high-rise, stretch jeans…which I have frequently on rotation. I’m also a fan of @uniqlo denim, for their budget-friendly pricing and wide range of fits and sizes.
