E16: Chic or Bum? The Mom Wardrobe

This episode was inspired by sitting on the patio with other Moms realizing everyone was dressed like “Mom Bums.” Erin, Sarah and their guest Sarah talk about definitions of Mom style and how personal preferences come to be. “You can wear whatever you want to wear whenever you want to wear it….if you feel good in it!” - Sarah

Why are moms pigeon holed into “Mom life” in every aspect of their life? An article from Classytrendy.com says their wardrobe capsule of 22 pieces and 100 outfits is “Perfect for Moms, retired ladies and anyone that needs an all casual wardrobe.”

Every Mom, including Madonna and other celebrities, has a choice of what she wears and has her own unique style that others (including children) notice.

“Madonna is a Mom, do you think they are pigeon holing Madonna into the stay at home wardrobe capsule?”- Sarah

Even with unique personal style, staples in the Mom wardrobe exist, but have variations based on individual preference. The “expert’s” staple list from Lauren McBride’s blog include specific types of shoes, pants, a denim jacket, t-shirts, leggings, but every Mom has her own specific likes and dislikes about each staple (like disliking the functionality of peeing in public while wearing a fashionable romper.) #legitMomstyle

Who we are:

Erin and Sarah are moms who enjoy each other’s unique cul-de-sac “mom perspectives” so much they want to share their thoughtful and sassy ponderings with other moms around the world. Collectively they are moms to 4 school-aged kids, and world travelers in their journeys as United States Marine Corps spouses. Erin is a homeschooling mama of three munchkins that loves running (slower than most people walk), traveling, and can recite the alphabet backwards while opening a bottle of wine. Sarah is a curious minded mama of one small human, enjoys writing, takes forever to read a book for leisure, and can order McDonald's at a Japanese and German drive through.
