Helping women love what they wear on a budget

How To Make Your Momiform Feel More Stylish

April 4, 2022 by Katie H.

Ways to look more stylish in your everyday mom outfits

A few years ago I wrote a blog post called 5 Ways To Make Your Momiform Pop! The post has been one of my most popular posts on Pinterest and I know that it’s because so many women are looking for the answer to the question of, how can I feel more stylish in my everyday outfits as a mom? It’s hard to find the balance between comfy and cute when you have little kids at home. I know this first hand. That’s why I wanted to continue to talk about this topic with a new blog series of posts to help make your everyday momiform feel more stylish.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the word momiform, it basically means your mom-uniform. It’s the everyday mom-friendly outfit that you throw on every day to do your mom job. Sometimes your outfits start to feel like a uniform because life gets so hectic that you start to wear the same thing every day. This is where I want to help. I want to help you feel more stylish in your everyday mom outfits and give you new ways to wear what you are already wearing.

For today’s momiform outfit, I am going with a comfy at-home basic mom outfit. I am going to assume that most of you have a pair of jogger sweatpants and a sweatshirt in your closets. Who doesn’t love being comfy in an outfit like this, especially if you are spending your days at home with little kids? The only problem with this look is that I wouldn’t call it an outfit. It’s sloppy. It looks like I just threw on my clothes. There’s no thought or effort in this look. So let’s see what changes we can make…

Everyday mom outfit

Step 1- Tuck the sweatshirt

This may not work with all sweatshirts, depending on the thickness and length of the sweatshirt, but it works with most of my crewneck cropped sweatshirts. A little front tuck can make a world of difference in any outfit. It breaks apart the look and defines your waist. This is the first thing I do with any outfit that I want to feel more stylish wearing.

Step 2- Trade out your baggy joggers for a fitted pair of joggers

I love these Old Navy joggers I am wearing in the first picture, however, they are a little baggy. If I want this outfit to look more stylish, I would probably trade them out for a fitted pair, like this pair of joggers from Maurices. I almost always size down on my jogger sweatpants to have a more polished look.

Step 3- Add jewelry

I always feel more stylish when I am wearing jewelry. It takes nothing more than a dainty necklace and some little stud earrings to make me feel complete. Some might say that it’s too dangerous to wear jewelry around little kids because they might break it, but I would argue that if you wear jewelry all the time, they don’t usually bother it. It’s rare that my kids would try to pull on any of my jewelry, because they see me in it all the time.

Step 4- Add a denim jacket

I have this fashion rule that I made up, where if I am wearing denim, I automatically feel put together. This is why I almost always put on jeans or a denim jacket when I leave the house to run errands. By adding a denim jacket to this jogger outfit it feels like a cute outfit that I can wear to the grocery store.

Step 5- Complete the look with cute sneakers and a baseball cap

To complete this momiform look I added a pair of comfortable sneakers and a baseball cap. You can’t go wrong with cute sneakers, like this cute pair from c/o Lou Lou’s Boutique. I also love a good 47′ baseball cap. My six-year-old has now caught on to my secret because whenever he sees me with a hat on he always says “mommy, did you not do your hair today?” It’s the perfect way to hide my dirty hair.

I know that teachers spend a lot of their own mone I know that teachers spend a lot of their own money every school year on their classrooms, so I completely understand how their back-to-school wardrobe might get neglected. That's why I always feel that shopping second hand can be the perfect way to add new fun pieces to your teaching wardrobe without spending too much money. 

In my own personal experience, as a preschool teacher I always preferred to shop second hand. I spent less on my clothes and I wasn't afraid of getting messy in the classroom knowing that my clothes were so affordable. 

Here are a weeks worth of 100% thrifted outfits! Which would you wear?

I'm sharing a little behind the scenes bloopers to I'm sharing a little behind the scenes bloopers today of what it's like to get out content out on a regular basis when you are a SAHM with a toddler at home. 

We only see the final product on Instagram, but what most people don't realize is everything that goes into having a blog. 

I run my own website, have 4 social media accounts I post to, have an email list to manage, pitch and negotiate with brands, film and edit my own videos, take my own photos and then some. I don't have a nanny, day care, house cleaner or a cook. I do it all myself. When I really put that all into perspective I think I do pretty well for myself of what I do get done in a normal week. 

Although I do try my best to get my work done during nap time or after the kids go to bed, I sometimes end up trying to get a few things done while my toddler is awake and that's where all the bloopers come in. 🤣🤣

It's the final stretch of summer and I am looking forward to getting back into a normal routine, but also still trying to enjoy these last few weeks. 

The big question today is how many more weeks of summer do your kids have left?? We have 3!

3 pieces from @maurices that you can style now and 3 pieces from @maurices that you can style now and later for fall! 

1.) Mixed print shoulder tie maxi dress- I'm wearing an xsmall! It fits TTS. I'm 5'1 and I can get away with wearing it without heels so I'd say it's petite friendly! 
2.) Floral button front peplum top- Fits TTS. I'm wearing an xsmall! This top would be flattering on all types of body types! I love that the waist has a drawstring that can be adjusted! 
3.) Blue plaid corduroy jacket- This jacket fits TTS! I'm wearing an xsmall. This jacket will be perfect on cool fall day. I love how it looks layered over athletic clothes!!
