I’m thrilled to be a contributor for Moxie Lady, a website dedicated to improving women’s lives. For my first article, “Work-at-Home Mom? 5 style tips, starting with ditching the jammies,” image consultant and wardrobe stylist Kristen Kaleal shares her advice to be a stylish WAHM (her tips apply to any woman working from home). Kristen and I discussed the concept of having a uniform other than your pajamas, which frees up mental energy for more important tasks. Our discussion got me to think about my own “uniform,” which consists of:
- Jeans (jean shorts in summer)
- T-shirt (or tank top in summer, and I tend to wear plain or sports tees)
- Nike trail runners (in one of my favorite colors, turquoise)
- Under Armour ankle socks (these are the best socks EVER!)
- I pile my hair on top of my head with a coordinating color claw clip, and wear an elastic headband (these ones from Adidas are my favorite right now)
- Small stud earrings, usually rhinestone
- A bracelet or cuff, which I use to keep track of which side to nurse my son
