Work-At-Home Clothing That Moms Rock
Need you see more?
It is bad enough style suffers in your first year as a mother, but I think I am being hit with two major violations from the fashion police.
One for being a new mom even though I am pretty much a veteran at this point.
And one for being a work-at-home mom. But why would being a work at home mom really impact my style choices?
Because I do not have to leave the house and go into an office. Nine times out of ten the only people who are going to see me for the day are my kids, and seriously I am not trying to look like I am strutting down a red carpet to impress them.
Of course I want to look cute when my husband is home for the day, but I could have yoga pants with a tank top on and my husband would think I was just as beautiful as the day we met … 13 years ago … EEEK! And that is why I love him!
So I thought I would put together some of our biggest fashion victim violations of moms who work from home, but also have a baby who is under a year old.

Yoga Pants
Yoga pants are probably the only kind of pants I wear Monday through Friday if I don't have to leave the house.
I can drop off, and pick up the boys at school in them, and no one really looks at me funny.
I could always totally use the excuse of going to the gym if I had to!

Baggy T-Shirts
Baggy shirts!
You know the ones... some were your high school gym class shirts you still have and somehow still fit into.
They must have been BIG back in the day right?

Socks with Sandals
Socks with Sandals!
You know you are an offender of this one, many of us are!
I use my sandals as house shoes, and honestly... my feet are always cold.
I swear I have an excuse!

Hoodies AKA Hooded Sweat Shirts
I LIVE in Hoodies in the winter time.
They have to be one of the ugliest, most unflattering trends though.
But I will take warmth over style when it comes to the winter time... I do live in New England. -
Visible Nursing Apparel
Nursing apparel that the whole world can see.
Nursing tank tops, nursing bras under a tank top... nursing tank tops as an actual shirt...
The list goes on! -
Headbands
BUT not just ANY kind of headbands!
There are TWO main offenders!
1) The headband that is either your daughter's or LOOKS like it belongs on your daughter!
Or 2) The headband which is really just there to mask or hide the fact that you haven't washed your hair in days.

The Hair Bun
According to one of my readers, Brando - Everyday is a bun day.
I can totally relate because before I chopped all my hair off I fell right into the bun of doom trap!

Sweat Pants
Inside, and outside the home
It all comes back to the warmth thing for me!
Sweat pants were submitted by my reader Laura, alongside of Pajama's outside of the house. EEEK!

The Muffin Top
I am as much of a victim as the next mom who has done this.
Those pre-pregnancy pants that REALLY still don't fit... don't try and squeeeeeeze into them.
Muffin tops are NOT your friend! -
Baby's Latest Bowel Movement
You know you have done it...
Wearing something you didn't realize had poop, or puke on it.
This picture is actually mine, I was in the mall and sat Addie right on my lap only to realize a couple moments later I now had YELLOWISHGREEN baby poop on my pants!
-
Pre-Pregnancy Bras
Take a moment to mourn the loss of the bras you wore before you had kids.
Because if you try and shove your boobs back in you will realize it is going to be really uncomfortable.
Believe me... I've done it at home and pealed my old bra off crying.
NO JOKE!

Pajama Jeans!
You know you are as much of a victim of these as I am!
As soon as I heard about JEANS that were really stretch pants... I was SO there!

The yoga pants, baggy shirts, the hair bun – that is my exact work-from-home uniform. This here is all me (except for the pajama jeans).
I work at home too, but I just can’t get motivated for the day until I have a shower, wash my hair and at least put on a pair of jeans and definitely have to have the shoes on. In the wintertime I usually wear a long sleeved v neck tee. I skip the makeup unless I have a client meeting. If I don’t shower and get dressed, inevitably SOMEONE will drop by unannounced. Though I am lucky, in that my mom lives with us and can keep an eye on the kids (ages 4 and 8 months) if I have to run out for something unexpected or if I didn’t manage to shower and dress before the kids wake up at the crack of dawn.
OMG so true but I also love wear my pj’s all day if I don’t have clients coming over lol
I would love for you guys to email me about what kind of work from home thing y’all do!
