What I Wore: Spring Signature Look

I hope you all had a great weekend. I wanted to start the week off with what has become my signature Spring look, unbeknownst to me, until I sat down and looked at my recent outfit pictures. I've pretty much been pulling out every skirt  in my closet lately and pairing it with a comfy tee. It's such an effortless look that works for just about every occasion from lunch dates to playdates and definitely day long shopping trips. 

As a mom on the go, I love looks that are easy to wear but look pulled together. And I think this combination is right on the mark. I feel like I can easily get down and play with the girls yet still go out and have a nice lunch with a girlfriend. Which I actually happened to do, well attempted to do. Lunch ended quite abruptly when our kids decided to climb up on the booth behind us. Ha! Life with toddlers. We quickly boxed our lunches, got our checks and left before those crazy kiddos decided to do something even crazier.

Back to the topic at hand. Another reason I love this combo, is how easy a switcheroo of the shoes can totally change the vibe of this outfit. It's such a simple and versatile look that I think works for any day and looks great.

I really hope this gorgeous weather continues because it seriously makes getting dressed so much easier. I'm a warm weather kinda girl. Getting myself dressed when it's nice out is always easier for some reason and I spend less time staring in my closet pondering what to wear.

What I Wore: A Little Leopard and Army Green

This week has been crazy! We've had playdate after playdate, trying to squeeze in as much play time with LBD's Ms. Socal and her beautiful kiddies before they move across the country. And for weeks like this, there's nothing better than easy layers and a comfy pair of jeans. Anything that is easy to wash and can handle the rough and tumble play with these crazy kiddos is a necessity. 

I feel like this is when many mom's give into the typical "momiform," the sweats and yoga pants look. While I too am guilty of running out in the momiform, I try my hardest to take a few minutes and look presentable. I think that as a mom, we sometimes forget to take a few minutes to look at ourselves in the mirror because there just really isn't much time for that. However, I do feel that it is important that we take just a few minutes to dress ourselves and stop and primp, even if it's just for a dab of powder and some gloss. I know when I feel I look good, I walk with a little more pep in my step. And don't we all want to feel that way? 

One of my go-to pieces to create an easy, yet chic look, is my military inspired vest. It's such a versatile piece that's neutral enough to go with just about everything, from stripes to leopard print. I've found that throwing this vest over a simple top always seems to take an outfit that's just "eh" and make it a little more cool. I'm also quite found of mixing feminine and masculine. So pairing this vest with a dress is also a fun option. 

As a mom trying hard to squeeze 5 minutes of me time amid all the madness in my house is sometimes almost impossible, so easy layering pieces are the key to achieving an effortless and chic style. But you definitely don't have to break the bank doing so because places like H&M and Forever 21 offer some really great options.
