What to Wear: Mom Uniform

This series is brought to you by Levi’s® Curve ID. Find your custom fit at Levi’s®  stores or Levi.com

Do you have a uniform? Something you wear everyday to feel pulled together? I really started having a “uniform” after I had kids. I realized that I wasn’t able to pull off the same kinds of clothes I used to. Partly because I needed something more practical and partly because my body shape was changing (I was always getting bigger or else losing the baby weight.) My uniform is always evolving a little bit based on the season or what feels fresh to me. Here is my current spring “mom uniform” that I’ve been wearing all over the south of Spain. My goals when I dress are the same as with my traveling uniform. First to be comfortable and second to try not to have food stains all over my shirt (Errr-from them, not me of course.).

A. Green Necktie /B. Pink Necktie /C. Blue Necktie These are amazing little ties to add some color and to feel more put-together.

D. Silk Blouse (bring it in the bathroom while you take a steamy shower and you don’t have to iron it!) The number one item in my wardrobe right now is a white button up. I have a few but I wear them so much they always seem to be in the laundry.

E. Thunder in our Hearts Bag I love this black bag I got last summer. I take it everywhere with me so people know that we have thunder in our hearts.

F. Levi’s® Slim Jeans These jet black skinny jeans are slimming after I’ve eaten too many churros con chocolat.

G. Wedge Sandals I buy a neutral pair of low wedge sandals every spring and wear them out. They are easy to walk in and I can wear them with jeans, dresses, and shorts.

    You are breaking the first rule. NO WHITE SHIRTS! Your children will destroy it. It’s like a magnet for stains.

    I love those shoes!! I rarely wear heels (my feet are rebellious) but I may have to get them.

    I have worn a uniform for year and LOVE it! I adore your spin on it with the light top and dark bottoms…how do you prevent dark wash jeans from transferring color to a light colored silk blouse? Help! I love this look.

    Love your photos! I’m going to Morocco with my sweetheart at the end of March. The weather is fantastic then, it will sure beat these gray Parisian days we’ve been having lately.

    Hi, I’ve been following your blog forever esp. though when your family moved to Paris. Our family just moved to Vienna, Austria and I’m loving it. It’s a great kid-friendly city. Anyway, I love that you are wearing silk blouses, but how do you laundry them? Mine say ‘dry clean’ and that can get expensive. I would wear them more often, but with a 6 month old and a 4 year old, I’d be talking them to the dry cleaners daily!! Any advice would be much appreciated!!
