Just because I'm the mother of a little boy who likes to play in the dirt doesn't mean I can't wear cute clothes while playing with him. Just because we are kicking the soccer ball doesn't mean I can't wear adorable, impractical shoes. Just because I spend my day picking up legos and wiping little handprints off the fridge doesn't mean I can't be fashionable while doing it. I'm a mom. And the most important thing in the whole world to me is that I'm a good mom. If Talinn wants to get down and dirty, I have to be able to get down and dirty with him.
But (and this is a big but) that doesn't mean I have to sacrifice myself. I can still wear clothes that make me feel good about me. I can still express my style. I can go on a bike ride and still be cute. I may not be able to wear four-inch stilettos but that's okay. If you break down every single one of my outfits, they are functional for my everyday life. Usually I have a very comfortable base that I wear when I am at home like a chambray shirt and jeans and then I add cute accessories to it like a chunky mustard yellow sweater and a fun colored pair of flats. Oh and let's not forget lipstick...yeah lipstick makes a big, big difference.
At the end of the day I feel great about myself and I can do whatever my day entails from running after a toddler to cooking dinner. And I really think that's what style is about...making clothing choices that work for you and your life.
