As a mom of an almost 2 and almost 5 year old boys I find myself hardly wearing any jewelry except my wedding band/engagement ring, a watch, and sometimes these diamond studs my mom gave me. And the only reason I wear these is b/c they are just there and I don't have time to see what will look good with my outfit today. I see a lot of moms who accessorize really nicely. I just can't look that nice. Haha! I think I used to get rashes from wearing costume jewelry which is part of the reason why I haven't worn any in a long time. I usually dress pretty comfortable when I go out, even without my kids. Now that my kids are getting older I have a little bit more time to make myself look presentable. I can't seem to get out of not wearing leggings or skinny jeans with stretch... They are just so darn comfortable! Do you ever feel this way?
-
I don't.
I love those chunky necklaces on other people but when I wear them I think I look so silly - like a kid playing dress up.
I wear a silver necklace and my wedding ring - that's about it!
-
I've actually just donated all but one pair of my skinny jeans., it was time, lol. My new best friends are lightweight trouser jeans.
I make the effort when I am working, not on my free time. This weekend, I had on a pair of trouser jeans, a long sleeved tee and a hooded fleece jacket most of the time because it's still cold out!
-
I'm just like you! But now that the kids are getting more manageable, I'm actually applying makeup before leaving the house (instead of at my desk) and wearing a little bit of jewelry when I remember. I think you can still look really cute in leggings or stretchy jeans!
-
Yes I like to accessorize, I think the best thing to do this time of year is a throw on a pretty floral or patterned light weight scarf. I think they make any outfit looks nicer! I stear clear of necklaces due to LO liking to grab them.
-
Nope. With DS's lack of a sleep at night, ain't nobody got time for that. lol
Like you, maybe once the kiddo(s) get older and STTN, I'll consider dressing nicer. I'm stuck in a rotation of like 5 shirts and 5 jeans because I'm still nursing/pumping. L-A-M-E!
-
@Mamaof2: I feel the same way too about chunky anything. Haha! I feel like all people will be doing is staring at my chest.
-
@looch: Lightweight trouser jeans sounds really comfortable. I will have to look that up. I kind of feel like some skinny jeans make my behind looks a little bigger than I'd like.
-
@T-Mom: Yeah, me too. I do make an effort to have some powder and blush on before I leave the house just so I don't look like someone beat me up in the middle of the night. I don't have even skin tone on my face so really need it! I am loving my BB Cream from Bobbi Brown. It works so well! I don't even use concealers anymore. At least for now. If my oldest keeps waking me up just to watch him pee in the middle of the night until he's a teenager I might need concealer again!
-
@LuLu Mom: Oh, that's a great idea! I do see women wear lightweight scarves that looks really nice. I'm with you on jewelry. Even if my youngest is almost 2 I still feel like his tantrums will rip out any dangling anything around my head.
-
@Alivoo01: I hear you. I'm pretty busy even with a live-in helper that most days if I don't make an effort to look in my closet and try on different things I also rotate between the same 5 shirts and bottoms. Our helper washes clothes more than I'd like but I am tired of telling her to wait until things pile up a little higher to wash them. Maybe then I won't keep wearing the same clothes all the time. Haha!

I have no idea how to accessorize
I wear my wedding and engagement rings and that is it. I do think accessories really help make you look so stylish but I just don't know where to start!
-
@sunny: Yeah, same here. Plus, it's a time issue for me as well. Most days I just grab my rings and watch and go. I would love to accessorize more if I have time. Nothing crazy since I'm a pretty simple person.
-
I really wish I knew how to do it better. I used to wear earrings a lot, but at my last job, we couldn't wear any jewelry out on the floor so I got out of the habit. Now with a LO who grabs everything I still don't and I don't even wear my wedding rings because I'm afraid I'll scratch LO.
-
I would like to more but my kids just grab everything so I keep it pretty basic unless I am going out sans kids.
-
@erwoo: I'm loving the Bobbi brown bb cream too! I think I'm stuck between two colors though. But it's still a decent match and really nice wearing.
-
Hardly ever.
-
No never! I can't even wear my hair down or dd will rip it out let alone earrings or a necklace...

@Alivoo01:
I am in a rotation of 2 pants 2 shirts... (I need to unpack still!)
