Here’s what to do

Invest in quality basics: 

Your basics are the foundation of your wardrobe, look for pieces like the neutral t shirts and shirts, a classic  denim, tailored trousers, jumpsuits, simple yet stylish loose and fitted dresses, simple sneakers or flats. Feel free to mix and match these pieces for that flattering look you desire.

Embrace Comfortable But Elevated Pieces

Comfort doesn’t mean boring. I can imagine you too tired and wearing a 6 inch heel or a super tight dress that wouldn’t allow you properly carry or chase around your toddler so Choose comfort.

you can wear your stretchy high waist mom jeans, soft knit dresses and blouses, maxi loose  cotton dresses , light cardigan, jumpsuits or your two piece lounge sets.

These well combined make you look put together without compromising comfort, perfect for school runs, grocery shopping, work and even church activities.

Own One or Two Statement Pieces

Statement pieces are items that literally take your outfit from a zero to a ten .

These pieces help you dress up in seconds and always projects I am pretty, serious, and ready to take on the day. Or better put, you will surely slay in them.

They are your blazers, stylish denim jacket, patterned kimono,trench coats, playful jumpsuit, your little black dress, accessories like jewelries, belts, caps, ballet flats and a timeless ankle boot.

Note your Favorite Colors

Your 30s are a perfect time to figure out your color palette.

Sometimes i put on a blue outfit and i just know this is it, it always does the magic of making my skin pop and glow or maybe its just in my head but yeah try to figure out what color always does it for you.

Remember to yet be open to other colors without making just one a staple. Soft earth tones, pastels, and warm neutrals look great on most moms.

But don’t be afraid of bright colors sometimes a bold dress is all you need to feel renewed.

Accessorize Lightly and Smartly

You don’t need a lot just the right touches: the thing about fashion for moms will always be about blending comfort and style.

A structured handbag; I bet there are days where what you find yourself carrying is just your babies diaper bag, and that’s fine mama but try to own one for just when you feel up to it.

Jewelry stash: I am talking your pretty, simple and bold earrings, stud earrings, necklaces and chokers, wrist watch and bracelets for a nice wrist stack up, rings and then sunglasses.

Accessories instantly elevate even the simplest outfits, but Personally when i accessories my babies tend to tug at them pulling and thinking they found a perfect candy so yeah, you want to keep it as simple as you can or as easy as your little one lets you.

Try the 3-3-3 fashion for moms formula

A lot is been said about fashion and styling for moms and now you are wondering where and how to get started, well I will advice The 3-3-3 formula.

It is basically a strategy to organized outfits, it helps you build a balanced, put-together look without overthinking. It’s often used for capsule wardrobes, and everyday dressing.

Here’s how it goes; you take 3 tops, 3 bottoms, and 3 pairs of shoes to create up to 15-20 looks. So you see you don’t necessarily do or spend too much for a versatile yet coordinated outfit. It forces you to get creative with what you already own.

The 3-3-3 rule as we know is ideal for travel but we are incorporating that as moms because it’s easy, I believe it’s a simple way to learn how to create outfits,and trying to be intentional about our style.

The 3-3-3 rule is kinda like a course into styling from the comfort of your  own closet,so lets get started with these mamas.

Your 30s are not a time to fade away they are a time to shine differently.You don’t need to dress like you’re 20. You also shouldn’t feel like you must dress “old.” You’re allowed to reinvent your style.You’re allowed to invest in yourself. You’re allowed to feel beautiful every day.

Fashion for a mom is simply a reflection of the amazing woman and mother you already are.
