There are a few days during M-F where I take the time to get ready and put myself together. Up until this year, I really would only make that happen if we were going somewhere, or it was a special occasion, etc. Pouring into myself and doing a few minimal effort type things to get myself ready and look a little more presentable has been huge for my self esteem. Even when I would take the time to wash my hair and ‘attempt’ to get ready, it ended up with me throwing it in a bun, throwing on the most comfortable, baggy shirt in my closet and some comfy adidas. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with this – being comfortable is key especially if you’re chasing toddler/kids daily like me. However, going a little further and stepping back from this usual routine has actually made me happier and more productive. I feel like my mood is just better overall.
Putting together this new series for the blog (which I’m lovingly calling, “Try It Tuesday”) lately has also really been motivating me throughout the week too. I really hope that sharing some easy, casual mom-looks, some mama + mini style, and maybe some other going out looks can help inspire you in the same way.
OK so now for this week’s round up! When I was pregnant with Colly I found two pairs of these really comfortable overalls and I’ve been loving them for the last 2 years. They got me thru her pregnancy too! I will say size up 1 since they’re junior sizing, but they’re comfy and I love the distressed details on the white pair.
My tank is from Target and runs true to size. Perfect for the hot months ahead!!!
My shoes are an Amazon find – I found this brand in 2021 and became instantly obsessed! They literally feel like a cloud! I will kick off my shoes throughout the day (at home of course) but when I wear these I honestly forget they’re on my feet, they’re just that comfortable!
My bag is a hybrid backpack diaper bag I’ve been using since December 2020 – it’s held up incredibly well and literally fits all the mom things! I’ve shared more about it on this post so check it out for more details!! Comes in a few different colors too! I love it, but I’m kind of looking forward to packing a little lighter these days since Colly is weaning from bottles and getting older.
Stay tuned for next week’s Try It Tuesday! I’m excited to keep bringing these outfit inspos to this space!
