Smart mamas know how to improvise. In the McGyver-like hands of moms, a stack of tupperware becomes a vacation toy, a popsicle-stained shirt turned inside out is now photo-opp worthy, and (ta-da!) a yoga skirt transforms into a date night-worthy LBD. . .
How’s an artsy mom supposed to translate the “indie” style of her twenties into a mom-uniform functional enough to keep up with the kiddos and worthy of her creative sensibilities? Naomi got it spot on with mixed prints, a layered look and fab boots. . .
Reader Amber was one of our readers who tested out a pair of Hanes run-resistant stockings. They tore as she pulled them on. Needless to say, she wasn't impressed.
I was impressed, however, with her outfit that accompanied her Hanes write-up. In the pic above she's showing us the hole in her stockings, but what's actually going on here...
Are you old enough to remember tightening and rolling jeans? When I read today’s Mom Street Style submission, it occurred to me that tighten and rolling was probably the brainchild of some frugal genius 80’s mom who was convinced the skinny jeans trend would soon be on its way out and right she was (for the 80’s at least!). ...
Mom Street Style comes today from Meagan (aka "the headless housewife" LOL--more on that later) at Everyday Mom Style. Everyday Mom Style is a recent addition to the mom style blogging world and a great one at that. In her endearing, plainspoken "About Me" section, Meagan writes:
"My wardrobe must be reasonably priced, comfortable and age appropriate. . . I’m...
Mamas, meet Melissa, one of the most adorable (thrice!) pregnant mamas I've ever seen . . . she's rocking a number of ANMJ's favs for moms--skinny jeans, tall boots, and a belly/postpartum pooch/nursing-friendly poncho, topping it all off with understated, spot-on accessories.
For those of you mamas not familiar with the DRIA nursing cover, check it out. It is the most versatile and fashion-forward piece of nursing gear I have ever encountered, and I don’t think I’ll be shelving it even after I’m done nursing bub #3.
You know the boring sweaters that we all have in our closets? We first introduced the concept of boring sweaters here. They are typically plain, have a nice fit, and overall are very...nice...at best. Most are a little 'meh', perhaps.
One easy fix for boring sweaters is to simply layer them over a long-sleeve shirt...then roll the sleeves of the...
After three pregnancies spanning several years and all four seasons, I don’t even want to start thinking about what I’ve spent on items that fit for roughly three months a go. As a new-mom-to-be in 2007, I was a total rookie, but ANMJ reader Julia, who’s glowingly prego with her first, is taking a more pragmatic approach to her maternity wardrobe. . .
Mamas, meet reader Mandy. Mandy is a mom of three kiddos and a fashion blogger herself. Mandy writes:
I am a mother of three kids, 5, 3, and 3 months old! I gained a lot of weight during each pregnancy. 90 with my first, 70 with my second, and again 70 with my third. My blog is my way of...
