Fashion is a form of self-expression that present our attitude, style and personality. Good dressing sense boost our confidence, self-esteem and physical attractions. In our society, it's important to dress appropriately, the clothing we wear reflects our identity, it does make an impact and first impression.
As a busy mom, there are drastic days when I feel overwhelmed and burnt-out with messy hair and baggy tees, it's indeed challenging to look cool and fashionable when there are so many tasks and mummy duties everyday, but that doesn't mean we can't be a stylish mom! :)
I love fashion and I like checking out the latest trends for the seasons. Since I work from home, I don't have to dress like the OL (*Office Ladies). I go for comfort and style in general. My dressing style is mostly Urban / Street-Wear fashion for regular days, however, for special/important occasions and business events, I dress formal.Here's my personal fashion & styling tips that may give you some ideas to look more chic and sleek!
Fashion and Styling Tips For Moms :
Light Jackets
I love Jackets! Trench coat, leather, blazer, cardigans and hoodies etc..it's my top favorite apparel, but Singapore is warm throughout the year, so it can be quite uncomfortable wearing a jacket on the street, so light jackets are ideal. For me, I always bring a light denim jacket or a sweater/cardigan, just in case there is a specific dress code. A jacket will look more formal and presentable. Personally, I would rather be overdressed than being too causal in any parties and social events, but that's just me.😉
Black Leggings
If you are have a voluptuous body or a little curvy like me, LOL! A good fitting leggings can make you appear slimmer and taller. You can pair it with a nice tshirt, blouse/shirt etc. Best of all, leggings are light, breathable and so comfortable that you can wear them any day, anywhere...
Little Black Dress
I reckon all ladies should have at least one or two black basic dress. Like the Blue Jeans, it's a classic fashion piece that is never outdated. You can add layers, scarf, brooch, necklace, belt or other accessories to match the dress, it's great for parties, corporate functions, romantic dates, cocktails, dinners, etc..Fashion Accessories
I'm a huge fan of fashion accessories and I never seem to get enough.lol..Accessories display our fashion taste and personal style. Adding a cool bracelet/bangle, necklace, headbands, earrings or shades can transform a plain and simple outfit.
Cap / Hats
Some days when I'm busy with no time to style my hair, I just wear my baseball cap and a t-shirt with jeans or sweatpants and I'm all set & ready! It takes less than 15mins. Caps/Hats are so versatile, they are funky, great for outdoor activities under the sun and maybe bad hair days too.😅
Footwear / Shoes
They said the type of shoes you wear says a lot about you. I love sneakers and slip-on shoes, they are always trendy, youthful and cute! It's hard to look dowdy with a pair of well designed sneakers, but I would avoid slippers and flops for any outings, unless you are heading to the beach, market or coffee shop.Light Make-Up
I appreciate natural beauty, but wearing some make-ups can conceal wrinkles, spots and dark circles. Make-up can enhance your features and appearance that makes you look fresher and radiant. A gorgeous outfit is completed with make-ups.
Bonus Tips :
Great fashion sense is choosing the right cuttings, designs, prints, fabric and colors that are suitable for your body shapes and skin tones.
Don't be too obsessed with the latest fashion, not all trends are suitable for everyone. Don't follow the crowd. Be bold and be creative with your authenticity! :) Go for the style that suits you most! It's better to wear something that makes you feel attractive than wearing an outfit that makes you feel awkward and contradict your personality. Keep in mind that fashion isn't solely for the perfect body shapes or age group, it's a common misconception when clothing companies and media industry portrays fashion & style with glamorous models and gorgeous celebrities.
In my opinion, everyone can look stylish and be fashionable if they want to. Remember, you are never too old to dress up and look good!😘
I dress for myself, for various occasions. I like being authentic, voguish & well-groomed and that makes me feel positive, empowered and confident about myself! 😎
