8 school run capsule wardrobe / stay at home mom outfit ideas


My son started kindergarten last year, and after spending the last five years at home with him I was a little worried about being on a tight schedule of drop offs and pick ups. I was worried because... I am not a morning person, tend to run 5-10 minutes late, and have been know to change my outfit multiple times before leaving the house. Also, because I  was going to be walking my son into school every morning and seeing other parents, faculty, and staff!! I thought it was important to make a good impression on the people I was now leaving in charge of my baby boy, and not a disheveled mess. Even if I really feel like one most mornings!! SO, my son is now in first grade and I am happy to report I have overcome the tendencies I mentioned above that always seemed to make me late. Mainly due what I call my "mom on duty style", I call it this because I draw some inspiration from celebrities/models who seem to have it down when putting together their casually, cool looks which commonly is referred to as "model off duty style"...funny, right?!? OK, so maybe only mildly! Anyways, I wanted something that was going to look put together for the bit of time I am out of the house every day, but still uber comfortable for the glamorous life of stay at home mom. I keep the items pictured above all hanging together in the front section of my closet. These items are truly all interchangeable with the other items, and can quickly be grabbed, thrown on, and out the door in a flash. I then pair whatever I have managed to put on with a cool hat, a nice bag, shades, and scarf.  These items pull to the whole look together and up the coolness factor a few points. I put together eight outfits using the above items(some similar) that would work for mild temps(early fall/spring), but truly the sky is the limit on the combinations that could be created from these items. You probably already have a lot of these items hanging in your closet!!, and if not...you should because they are wardrobe staples that will be in style for years to come!
