moms need style too, right?

there is a great article in the may issue of In Style magazine that is perfectly suited for us moms. the author writes about her search for the answer to the question we all have...is looking chic everyday and raising young children mutually exclusive? she talks about how before having kids she vowed she'd never dress "mommishly", listen to alvin & the chipmunks or let her children interfere with her work. without fail, she shifted to a small rotation of mix-and-match sweatshirts and yoga pants (admitting that she doesn't do yoga), works from home part-time so she can be with her kids and unfortunately knows the rodent sung lyrics to "single ladies."  she asks the question, why spend money on a wardrobe that is used to pick up dog poop and buy baby wipes?  it is a must read. super funny and very easy to relate to.

  1. I agree! Loved this articled! I'm a stylist in Chicago and started a blog to show examples and explain "casual chic." It addresses what do you wear and where do you shop if you don't want to dress like your teenage daughter, but don't want to look frumpy! http://stylishafter40.tumblr.com/
