Fall Fashion: Sweats Done Right

Sure, as moms we’ve all had the urge, or just the utter lack of time and energy, to leave the house in anything but sweats. But, say it with me now, “don’t do it!”

I’m a mom of 3, I get it. Especially right after baby, fashion isn’t your priority. It’s more like, “just let me sleep for 1 hour” or “when was the last time I took a shower?” You can fall into a rut where the last thing on your mind is what you look like with the baby throw up on your shirt and Cheerios stuck in your matted hair. But splash some cold water on your face, throw your hair up in a messy top knot, look at yourself in the mirror and know that you’re worth the extra 5 minutes to feel beautiful!

Comfy clothes can be fashionable clothes, and when there are so many (cheap) basic options available, there’s no reason not to ditch those elastic ankle sweatpants!

 

sweats done right

 

This look gives you the same comfort, and ease without having to think about what you’re going to wear but see how it elevates itself into style instead of slop?  Comfy doesn’t mean baggy.  Quick and easy doesn’t mean messy. Look polished without even trying!

Throw on a basic pair of black leggings and a slouchy sweater to get the same comfort in your quick out the door hurry while looking great. Slip on pair of ankle booties and go! Remember, flats don’t mean old tennis shoes!

No accessories or extra frill even needed!

I’m a bargain hunter by nature, especially when it comes to purchasing clothes for myself. I like to find the best deals. This holds particularly true for basic pieces like tee’s, leggings, etc…There is always an amazing deal to be found!

One of my top go to stores is Marshalls. I usually stop in there when I’m feeling like a wardrobe update before I head anywhere else.  They’re always on trend and the prices really are budget friendly! Right now the store is loaded with must have pieces for Fall; leather, knits, scarves, and a variety of leggings. I just found 2 great pairs of leggings at Marshalls a few days ago and paid less than $20 for both! Too bad you can’t shop Marshalls online.

Another great affordable go to store I like is Forever 21. I’m sure some of you shy away from the store thinking that they won’t have anything your style and it’s too young for you,  but believe me when I say, they offer looks from almost every style type and not everything is plastered with kittens and YOLO sayings. They do offer a more subdued and classic feminine look as well.

Check out Forever 21’s leggings for fun styles at affordable prices. Go with the trusty black leggings, or venture out with one of their bold jewel toned colors for Fall or a print or pattern that speaks to your style personality. They also have a huge line of comfy cute sweaters, most for under $25.

The point is, new mom or seasoned mom, you’re fabulous and you need to look it!
