Mom-friendly spring capsule wardrobe

The wait is finally over! My spring capsule wardrobe for 2023 is finally here! Creating an effortless, versatile wardrobe capsule blog post can be time-consuming. It requires a lot of thought and planning. However, the end result is always worth the work. I have had so many messages from women telling me how helpful these posts are. If I can help make the getting dressed process a little easier for busy moms, then I am here for that! This is why I want to continue to put out at least one capsule wardrobe post per season!

February is a month all about love! Love for your spouse or significant other, love for your family, love for your children. But what about love for yourself? As moms, I think we often forget the importance of self-love and taking care of one’s self. I practice self-love just by taking care of myself both mentally and physically. Today I want to share how I practice self-love with my daily mom beauty routine.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according to my 7-year-old we won’t need to wear boots or snow pants to school anymore. 🤣 I really hope he’s right because I am getting really sick of my winter clothes!

It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. wh It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. what I wore then” post. This week I am updating this pencil skirt outfit that I wore to work in 2014. There is nothing wrong with a classic black pencil skirt, but I am switching my pints from the top to the bottom with this printed pencil skirt. 

Can we also have a moment of silence for the big bubble necklaces. I loved my green bubble necklace. It always put a pop of color into any outfit, but I am kind of glad that we moved away from big statement necklace. They aren’t very easy to wear around little kids. 🤣 Instead of a statement necklace I added some color in with some statement bracelets.
