 As a stay at home mom, I wear leggings a lot.  When I have no plans to leave the house, I usually stay in my leggings all day long because they are way more comfortable than jeans.  I’ve been wanting to step up my leggings for a while and branch out from my normal black leggings.  I’ve been eyeing faux leather leggings for a couple years now and last winter I started to really love the look of them, but I was pregnant.  I wasn’t going to buy a maternity pair of faux leather leggings and I also didn’t want to buy a pair that I could barely fit into.  Now that I have officially retired all my maternity leggings, I figured I would buy a pair of faux leather leggings to see how I like them, and guess what?  I love them!! 

All I’ve heard from other bloggers is how great the Spanx faux leather leggings are.  They look amazing, but I just can’t bring myself to spend that much money on a pair of leggings.  Luckily I was able to find an affordable and quality option at American Eagle (HERE) and I love my purchase.  They fit great (I bought a small/regular length) and they are very versatile.  I’ve been fitting them into my everyday mom wardrobe perfectly.  That’s why today I want to share 9 mom-friendly outfits with my faux leather leggings.

Today I’m updating a longtime favorite look with a maxi dress that has a little more shape and structure—but still has all the things I loved about the original. Same formula (maxi + denim jacket), just a bit more refined.

I have always loved cardigan sweaters. Lately I’ve been wearing them buttoned up, which is an easy way to update the style and wear it in a new way!
