The Momiform

 cardigan: Chicwish c/o, top: Forever 21 (old), pants: LOFT, shoes: Target (similar), sunglasses: Steve Madden (via TJ Maxx, similar), necklace: Nashell


Getting all dressed up is one of my favorite things in the world.  But life as a mom doesn't usually allow for a lot of time to spend on make-up and hair, or call for many silk tops and heals.  Most days when I have exactly 13 minutes to get ready before the baby wakes up, I tend to gravitate to a few of the same staple pieces.  Leggings, a comfy top, and some kind of cardigan, preferably over-sized.  Then I throw on mascara (or sunglasses.....same thing) put my hair in a bun and grocery shop till I drop.

But I gladly trade in all the time I once had to actually "get ready" to spend my time with these dudes.  They are worth all the minutes in the world.

  13. So true... I love the same look ... J crew pixie pants and a cotton cardigan . The top knot makes any look Parisian chic. Love your sweater .... Is it soft? - Kim
