For the everyday mom, like myself, it’s a little more difficult. I’ve always loved the arts, design, and style and incorporating those elements in my clothing. But between the months of fatigue of my first trimester of pregnancy, and now the miles of circles I run after my 2-year-old, I just haven’t had the time. The attention I used to give to the sartorial arts, I just don’t have time for anymore. Now, I need a little inspiration. Thank goodness our favorite celebrities — many of whom are mothers now — have stylists. Unlimited budgets for stylists to buy all their clothing and fittings to pull together outfits for every occasion — because at least I can get some inspiration from it. I’ve seen this play out on Keeping Up With the Kardashians many times. Outfits for running to the store, outfits for dropping off the kids to piano lessons — all from which we can take notes and draw inspiration. Here’s a list of some of our favorite stylish ladies, and a few clothing ideas to help us look just as put together and cool as they do. I’ve mostly used their street style as a basis (because when’s the next time I’m going to be on a red carpet?). And the best news? I’ve found copycat styles on a dime! As busy as we are, we can still look like we have places to go and people to see when we step out of the house — even without the stylists and unlimited funds.
