UNIFORM / ERRAND DAY

daily uniform, wear daily in fall, fall uniform, mom uniform, young mom wears, aritzia, h&m jeans, zara women

  • I like a warm comfy coat and with giant pockets? Sold, because then who needs a purse. – Coat from Zara
  • A basic tee with a bit of a punch and in a super relaxed fit. – Tee from Aritzia
  • Plaid over shirt, because I always need something to wear over just in case – when I have white on (klutsy) – Shirt from Madewell
  • I personally can vouch that this color of denim hides little dirty finger prints very well. – Jeans from H&M
  • I couldn’t decide or maybe the better description is: I want them both. Which would you choose? Red Vamp Shoes from Zara OR Black Cut Out Buckle Boots from UO

Pretty sure I’ve done a few errand day outfits, but really everyday can be considered an errand day – at least I’m personally doing them on the daily. As my uniform posts almost always go, these are some of the items I have my eyes set on. I am just so overly practical that they always seem to go together, aka the perfect outfit- now to convince my practical self (and sorta an anti shopper self) that I should own some of these items.

Sidenote: H&M Canada (not sure about elsewhere) is currently having a Buy 1 Pair of Jeans, Get the Second 50% off sale. Those jeans up there are H&M, and I have said it many times before – they are my favorite place to buy jeans for the whole family. Fit quality and price wise they win.

UNIFORM / TIRED AND CHILLY

aritzia, zara, madewell, uniform for a tired mom, stylish mom, pre fall clothing, what to wear

jeans that fit (and are comfortable) . hide messy hair headband (on those days where you tie it up, and need something to hold back all the Albert Einstien fly aways) –  carryall bag (small enough, but big enough to pack most everything in)   –   pretty comfortable tee (pretty looking and comfortable feeling)   –   everyday wearable sandals (they looks pretty cool, and also like a comfy staple)

The stores are filling up with Pre Fall, and it has be sorta itching for Fall clothes – I hate when those sly retail tactics work on me (I dream of Fall clothes but never want Summer to end, makes sense). Here is an outfit for a day when you are super tired (probably almost everyday) and the weather has a nice summery crispy coolness to it (like Toronto today). In my head it’s always nice to look pulled together but feel as comfortable as possible on crazy tired days  – it’s sorta the whole fake it till you make it mentality.

UNIFORM / DAILY SUMMER

daily summer uniform, perfect everyday summer items easy breezy jersey dress (I would literally wear this EVERYDAY of the summer, I’m lusty over it). sunglasses (prescription sunglasses in my case, to hide my “it’s too hot, so I don’t wear makeup” eyes) . bucket bag (It looks just big enough to hold by DSLR and a wallet hence, perfect) . sandals (comfortable and perfect for parks, splash pads, walking miles and chasing kids)

I am still living my “need only basis” shopping rules (not very blogger of me, I know). It’s going pretty good, until I find something I dream about and check in on weekly/daily “just to see if it went on sale yet” (even though you know there is no chance any of it is going on sale). Like these items, especially that dress, it’s like the dress of my summer dreams. So since I don’t NEED any of these items (I just really really like all 4 of these items the most) I thought it best to get them out of my head with a post. So as far as everyday summer uniforms go, this would be my ideal one.

PS. I took the MOM off the Mom Uniform (title); because my uniforms are just that, uniforms and not really mom specific.

MOM UNIFORM / TO RUN ERRANDS

mom uniform, mom style, vertical striped pants, errand running in style

DENIM VEST (token denim piece) . HOODIE (the comfort layer, that also keeps you warm) . STRIPED PANTS (the jazz to your regularly mundane errands. bring the jazz hands if you dare)  . TEE (bring the spring , since it might not actually be feeling like it outside) . BOOTIES (dreamboat booties, also good for a lot of walking – or so I tell myself in my dreams) . HANDBAG (the two hands free, handbag. a pretty backpack).

Call me crazy on the pants, it’s okay I fully expect it – yes, these pants are a “90’s flashback” OR a “smack in the face with the 90’s” if you please. This pair to me is the perfect updated middle ground, wearable stripe – thicker then a pin stripe, but not pulled from an old 90’s hair band costume. You could go the super stripe route, the middle ground stripe (like I would), or subtle and simple stripe – or maybe you’re like “get a life Brandy, no way could I wear any of those” sub in a faded black skinny instead (cause that would be my sub in).

Errands are not the highlight of my week, or day (because it’s usually a daily task) – they aren’t dreadful but certainly not exciting. SO why not wear a comfortable outfit that is a bit exciting and really these pants were meant to be seen with human eyes, so wear them on a day when you actually leave the house (because we all have many days like that). Also pattern mix, because why not!

MOM UNIFORM / TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL

mom style, stylish mom, hipster mom, roll out of bed and take the kids to school

TOUQUE (hide bed head in a flash) . PARKA (keep warm and cozy) . CARDIGAN (layer on a sweater) . MITTENS (hold little hands in warmth) . SHIRT (throw it on in a rush) . PANTS (comfortable and pulled together) . SOCKS (toasty toes) . BOOTS (boots of my dreams)

Okay, to be honest everyday is pretty much a “quick grab something to wear” sorta day, because really after everyone else is dressed and ready there is rarely anytime left. So, for me a closest full of items that are easy to throw together are a must, or I literally look like I just grabbed anything to wear. On a cold winter day, when we are running late to get King to school (which is daily unless Chris takes him) this is what I would love to throw on.

Mom Uniform : to the park on a summer day

I have been majorly failing at My Style posts/Our Style posts lately, we go through waves of photo stages – sometimes it’s pretty hard to get everyone in one spot (or me alone) for a photo and forcing photos is never fun (and it always shows). Also, to be honest my usual budget for buying myself some clothes has been going straight to the kids lately, don’t get me wrong I do not spend a lot on the kids clothes – but they grow ALL the time so need new clothes ALL the time. Unfortunately, I am not still growing (in the bigger picture this is a good thing) so my need for clothes is not very high (at all) – whoever needs most gets in our home. So, since I haven’t been shopping for myself (at all) style posts would be super BORING – I thought I’d make up for my lack of Mom Style posts and pop in now and again with a new Mom Uniform series. Basically this is a post where I show you my uber-casual-tomboy style through outfits I pretty much wear on a daily basis, most likely they will be filled with items that are currently on my “oh I wish!” list.

mom uniform: to the park on a hot summer day

SUNGLASSES (cheap and stylish, just the way I like sunnies)  /  TANK (i want in every color)  /  SHORTS (perfect comfy length for playing and not worrying about where you sit)  /  SHOES (feels like a sneaker. but doesn’t look like a sneaker)  /  BACKPACK (of my dreams)
 

I generally dress very simple and as I became a Mama to two kiddos a year and half apart; each piece has developed a certain purpose (as well as suiting my style needs). These Mom Uniform posts will show you WHY I wear (or would wear) each item, as well as the obvious stylish reasons.

Is there a certain event or outing you would like to see a specific Mom Uniform for?
