This is about how to dress yourself when you have,

a) Spent the last five years reading parenting books, not fashion magazines.

b) Can’t squeeze into anything you love, and,

c) Don’t have a lot of spare cash right now. You’re more into buying nappies, funnily enough.

Let’s get one thing straight. Fashion is not scary, no matter how out of the loop you may feel. You don’t have to dress like a Victoria’s Secret supermodel mother in every outfit (ahem, Heidi Klum).

We’re rediscovering the old you, in the new you’s life. Your new life needs more clothes that I call “Easy Chic”. Pieces that can work everyday, from work to weekend, while being stylish enough to make you feel good, but comfortable enough to rumble with the kids without fear of ruining anything (so we can finally get out of the stretch pants!) Then there will be “going out” clothes, but they won’t take up the majority of your wardrobe anymore.

Easy Chic is how Nicole Richie and Jessica Alba dress on a daily basis. They team pieces together that are never sloppy, always polished and as a bonus, are comfortable. Yes, they’ve made an effort, but it all works together seamlessly. It’s not a difficult way to dress – I’m not asking you to channel fashion gurus Kate Moss or Gwen Stefani’s original style. Easy Chic can be learned with just a few basic pieces to build your wardrobe around. It’s perfect for mums who work from home and want to feel like they belong to the land of the living. You can even wear the same pieces to an office if you work in a more relaxed environment, but if you work in a corporate office then you’ll probably need a separate work wardrobe.

If you’re a stay-at-home mum, nobody’s expecting you to look like you’ve walked out of the pages of a fashion magazine, but you don’t have to look like you’ve dumped the whole notion of style either. Looking good in your clothes means feeling good. Because remember, you deserve to feel good every day.
