STYLE

Semi-Casual

January 15, 2015

Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride Semi-Casual - Lauren McBride

Sweater: Target
Shirt: Philosophy at TJMaxx
Leggings: Forever 21 (similar, similarย )
Shoes: Tory Burch
Ring: Henri Bendel
Beanie: Forever 21
Bag: TJMaxx
Necklace: The Silver Wren

This is like the ULTIMATE mom outfit. There are soooo many days I just want to wear leggings because they’re so much more comfortable in jeans, ESPECIALLY on days I’m running around after Landon (aka, EVERY DAY.) I still want to look somewhat put together, but also feel comfortable enough to chase him. This “semi-casual” outfit is perfect for that! Let’s break it down:

Leather leggings: A step up from your standard leggings with the leather paneling. Automatically makes you look put together and not like you’re in yoga pants. Win!

Gray shirt: Covers up stains well. Enough said.

Cardigan: Covers your butt in leggings (a necessity for me). Also makes the basic shirt look less basic.

Flats: Perfect for running around. Because that’s what you do after a toddler. Specifically a boy toddler. A. Lot. Of. Running.

Beanie: Covers the hair you don’t feel like doing (even though it’s done in this picture!). You get what I mean ๐Ÿ˜‰

See? It’s a step up from yoga pants, but not super dressy and totally appropriate for doing all the mom things. OR, if you’re not a mom, for not looking like you just rolled out of bed after a night of partying ๐Ÿ˜‰ (I don’t know what that is anymore!)

But really, I love this neutral outfit and will definitely be wearing it again!

    Is it okay if you wear mom outfits without being a mom yet?! Haha! I wear something like this almost every day to work (my workplace is super casual) because it’s so comfortable yet it still feels put together.

    Hey… you aren’t in Branford, are you? I’m just having a moment because I’m no stranger to outfit photos on the steps of my town hall and that looks an awful lot like it.

    (Also loving the idea of leather leggings to fake looking put together.)
