As a mum, it's so easy to prioritise everyone else's needs above your own, including your wardrobe. However, I really do think that feeling confident in what you wear is essential for your well-being and self-esteem. In this blog post, we'll explore five simple yet effective tips to help you build a wardrobe you'll love, even in the midst of the motherhood juggle!
5 TIPS TO BUILD A WARDROBE YOU LOVE, THAT SUITS THE PRACTICALITIES OF MOTHERHOOD.
TIP 1. choose versatile pieces
Invest in versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create numerous outfits based on the pieces you wear most. Whether it's jeans, drawstring pants, or dresses, look for staples that compliment your favourite items in your wardrobe. These versatile pieces should effortlessly transition from casual daytime run-arounds to evenings out with friends, ensuring you always have options you'll actually wear day-to-day, no matter the occasion.
TIP 2. define your style
Take some time to reflect on your personal style preferences and identify the aesthetic that resonates with you the most. Whether you're drawn to classic jeans & tees, bohemian-style dresses, or minimalist colour schemes, defining your signature style will make it easier to curate a wardrobe that truly reflects who you are. Take note of the silhouettes, colours, and patterns that make you feel most confident and comfortable, and build on those to define your signature style. Creating a Pinterest board that's just for you is a really nice way to visually do this exercise.
TIP 3. prioritise your lifestyle
As a busy mom, comfort is key when it comes to your wardrobe choices. Opt for soft fabrics, relaxed fits, and practical designs that allow you to move freely and tackle your daily tasks with ease. From comfy tanks and shirts to denim jeans, prioritise comfort without compromising on style. Remember, when you feel comfortable in what you wear, you'll naturally feel more confident and radiate a positive energy wherever you go.
TIP 4. don't skip the accessories
Remembering to add accessories can really change your look and make you feel more put together for the day, even if it is just a simple gold hoop and your rocking up at soft-play. Whether it's layering necklaces, stacking a few rings, or choosing a staement bag, accessories have the power to transform even the simplest of outfits into something special. Don't be afraid to mix and match textures, colours, and styles to create unique and layered combinations that reflect your personality.
TIP 5. edit your wardrobe regularly
Keep your wardrobe fresh and clutter-free by regularly editing and organising your clothes, especially by removing items you don't wear. Opening your wardrobe should never make you feel bad about yourself or start your day on the wrong foot. Make room for new additions that align with your style, and ensure that every piece you own brings you joy and serves a purpose.
In our collection, my two standout favourites for their versatility are the Lily sets and the Annie Dress. Whether you're aiming for casual comfort or effortless style, these pieces are essential summer wardrobe companions, easily adapting to any style or occasion, and both available in Matching mummy and me sets.
