After working in the fashion industry for over a decade ofcourse I love dressing up, following trends, reading fashion magazines even if they promote low self esteem, reading on who, wore, what and shopping.
But while running errands this morning and dropping the older one for her gym class I realized wow how much have I changed. From a nice pony or blow dry to a bun, a dress replaced by comfy wear like leggings and a lose top that helps running around with the older one and nursing the younger one! Phew, life’s changed even if its temporary.
So here are 10 fashion changes I have made and ofcourse I miss them
1. Accessories no more! I absolutely love accessorizing each look either with chunky necklaces or bangles. But accessories scream not around babies. I love them so much that I can’t see them in pieces or even let go off one pearl.
2. No make up please: I am quite expressive and public affection or otherwise I love kissing my girls so make up makes an occasional appearance whenever they aren’t around
3. Standing tall: for someone who was high heeled always to wear moccasins and flip flops now is definitely a change.
4. Cross body/hobos vs.satchels and Clutches: really when was the last time I carried a clutch or a great satchel. As moms we now shop on how much can a bag accomodate. The bottle, a snack, some wipes a sanitizer,etc. I see that smile in agreement 🙂
5. Sun glasses for a celeb pose: as the daughters growing up and watches me dress up or observes keenly on what moms wearing today, there are times when I think twice before wearing my glasses feeling scared that she will want hers or want mine. So in order to save those I need to skip them too.
6. White wash: everybody who knows me will know that white is my favourite colour which now makes guest appearance with the fear of mud, grease, oil, food, and lots more.
7. Perfect polish! So I haven’t painted my finger nails for over 4 years since my nail polish always chips and given that I feed the daughter myself, don’t want any of it in her food.
8. Denims vs. Leggings:Â Thank god for the leggings coming into fashion and screaming comfort. With all the running around and sitting down. Just feels like the leggings work so well vs the denim where you need to be careful. Skinnies is a distant dream for sure.
9. Hair bands, clips and funky hair bands: as a mom of two daughters you will find me with colourful clips and sparkle bands.
10. Pocket me please: I always choose pants with lots of pockets as they can accomodate stuff and out of all my pickets I am sure to find change, hair bands & clips, You will also find trash, used tissues as we cant throw things in public so moms pockets are always handy
Share with us your fashion changes, we would love to know them.
