Our Ever-Evolving “Mom Style”: Episode 47



When you spend years cycling through maternity, post-partum, nursing and “oh gee I’m pregnant again!”wardrobe pieces, thinking about your personal style can take a back seat. Now that Meagan and Sarah are squarely on the other side of those years, we’re talking about clothes, shopping and style in Episode 47.

Join us for a fun conversation about where we love to shop, when to buy cheap and when it makes sense to spend a little more, how our own personal styles have evolved over the years, and what looks we wish we could pull off but just can’t seem to.

LINKS MENTIONED:

  • Fabletics, Meagan’s go-to for workout wear and everyday activewear
  • The Style Hour podcast (currently on hiatus) and Shana Draugelis’s website The Mom Edit

    Great topic. I really miss The Style Hour. I read Shana’s blog but the combo of her and Meagan was more in line with the level of mental effort I want to put in to style (and budget).

    I have tried Fabletic and I like the clothes but I don’t like the whole “VIP membership” thing. This falls in to clothes I want to be my style but aren’t. I’m just not a leggings girl.

    I love hats. I got a cheapo fedora last summer and love it. I had to find one that sits lower on my head though, if it sat higher I felt like Mr. Peanut.

    I love the advice to dress for where you are and not to camouflage your “flaws” to the detriment of your better features. I have gained some weight lately and am enjoying how my butt looks. My stomach doesn’t look as nice. I’m enjoying wearing jeans and a half tucked shirts.

    I CANNOT wait for Michigan to finally decide on a season so I can give up wearing socks and wear my dresses! I’m camping close to where Meagan lives next weekend and I hope the MI weather gods decide on spring.

    This might fall into next week’s show better. I have embraced my naturally curly hair and discovered with the right care I have more curl than I thought. I love how my hair feels like an accessory now. I has a wild, slightly bohemian, a bit sexy look. It can take a blah outfit and make my overall look a bit more stylish. Pulling my hair up into a messy bun with romantic wisps is fun too.

    I have been able to embrace the “romantic” look but am trying to get a way from it. It is starting to feel a bit like too much cheesecake. Really great in small amounts. I’ve been trying to edge it up a bit. I haven’t been able to pull off the “collared shirt under a sweater” look.

    Thanks for the great podcast. It is so fun to listen to style and fashion talk that isn’t so serious.

    I totally laughed at Meagan’s image of herself riding a bike in her flowing romantic look. While I have no interest in the romantic look, I have similar fantasies about myself in certain outfits that I can’t pull off. Glad to know I am not alone in feeling like certain clothes are wearing me!
