I love that you didn’t edit out those parts and kept them in, it’s why mothers love your channel you are so much more relatable. Loved all outfits, can I say you are honestly glowing since having baby Rory, ❤❤❤
I’m 62 & can still remember those hard early years motherhood days......... I applaud you - you’re absolutely rocking it - real-y 👏 . And I 💕❤️😍your daily wardrobe idea as I stay in pj’s often & do not feel better for it !! Like you I already have a capsule wardrobe so it should be easy to do what you’ve done. 😊 Thankyou
This video was so profound for me. I have watched and tried so many capsule videos and ideas ect. When you said “I’m just going to pick an outfit for every day of the week” my brain went OH DUH WE CAN DO THIS. THANK YOU! I’m the past I’ve tried to narrow down my wardrobe to versatile pieces that can make as many outfits as possible. So you are constantly mixing them and that is exhausting and bleh. (For me). One outfit a week on repeat that is the same is so much more doable! Speaking as a mom haha
I've used a capsule wardrobe for 7 or 8 years. Being able to go into your closet and quickly find an outfit that you like and feel good in is amazing! It's also helped me not buy unnecessary clothing since I know exactly what I need to finish out my wardrobe for that season. Another thing you talked about that I've experienced is the psychological benefit of getting dressed every day. I started doing that about 18 years ago when my 3rd child was a baby and it was transformational. It's also helpful when one of your kids has an emergency and you have to jump in the car to go the doctor! Life with kids!!
I love all the sweaters, they look nice on you and they also look so comfortable. Your hair at the 7 minute area looked so cute in the long pony tail. I do have to say I'm with Tate on the jeans, you have such a cute/great figure and I don't think they do you justice. The other jeans are a lot cuter! I'm so glad that planning the outfits for each day ahead of time is helping so much. Sometimes it's the little things that make such a difference.
If you add the white t-shirt under all of your sweaters so the white collar peeks out, it will elevate your outfits just a smidge and will help keep down the cleaning costs of your sweaters:) You always look great!
I appreciate this so much because I’m also a SAHM to my 5 yo daughter and 3 mo son. I’m pretty newish at the SAHM life so transitioning to the “this isn’t a day off, this is life” mindset has been weird. I never get ready bc most of my clothes aren’t comfy and they just remind me of my tiny pre baby bod. I’ve been living in pajamas/leggings. I’m going to do this tomorrow!!
Such a relateable video. I am a mum of three (age 18 months, 4.5 years and 6 years) and I recently tried creating a style uniform - just repeating the same outfit formula depending on the occassion. Shorts and tee at home, dress and sneakers when I leave the house, fancier shoes for nicer occassions. I'm down under so will create a similar cold weather uniform when the seasons change. It takes the guesswork and mental load out of deciding what to wear. Soooo good.
Margaret I just wanted to say that you are such a beautiful mama! I can see love in your eyes. You are doing wonderfully. I’m also a mom and I know exactly how you feel when you want to work or do something and you are constantly interrupted 🥰 my youngest is 6 now and I miss baby season so much. Sending love 💕
So, I am 54 and have 2 adult daughters (24 and 23) and I have had a a full house with my parents, my girls, and their significant others home for the holidays. I wish I had watched this before this 2 week period of trying to work, grocery shop, feed, and care for the 8 humans in my home so I could have avoided looking like a disaster the whole time! Your method is simply brilliant, and let me say that parenthood never ends! Which is great as I am going to miss my full house. I am going to try this method going forward because it is awesome. Thanks!
Good for you…..it’s so important to feel like a women and not just a tired mommy. The kids grow up and your roll with them will change, but you need to continue with who you were before them to still be yourself when you’re back to just you and hubby. Your hubby will appreciate you still being a women for him, even though he loves and supports you now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree with Natalie, regarding Tate’s not liking the jeans. After 25 years of marriage, it takes a lot for my husband to brave that kind of comment. When he mentions without asking, that he doesn’t like the way something looks or fits, out it goes! He’s got to look at me another 50 years, so why not skip the rare piece he doesn’t like? And by the way, you’re so crazy pretty that everything looks good on you (well, almost, according to Tate 🙂)
This was so genuine and lovable. You look fantastic, you're rocking motherhood with those sweet baby boys, and showing up here with authenticity. I could not love this more. Thank you for sharing your experience and thanks for sharing glimpses of your baby! My "baby" is almost 6 now and oh, how i miss thise baby sounds and snuggles!! ❤
I realized how beneficial having such a simple "uniform" is when I got baby spit up all over when we had company, then I just walked to my dresser and grabbed the next shirt on the pile!
Really like this idea. I want to go one step further and have complete outfits on one hanger for 2 weeks because I end up with a variety of events that happen at a moments notice, sometimes requiring several changes in one day.
I love your authenticity, Margaret! I would love to see/hear what you decided on for your Friday Saturday and what the outfits throughout the week ended up being ❤😊
You got this momma! You somehow managed to still be a positive messenger when you’re going through a really tough season! Love following along with you.
We appreciate you showing up, but take all the time you need mama! I’m a first time mom whose 3 month old is currently going through a cranky growth spurt. I am watching your video to unwind but can’t imagine filming my life right now 😅
Brilliant! Definitely trying this, in the same rut as a stay at home mama to four littles 7 and under. Taking that ten minutes and also already having the guess work taken out of what to wear will be so so worth it. I’ve always loved the idea of capsule wardrobes but having my outfits set by day will work well for me. Thank you for the relatable and inspiring content!
I am totally out of your age group, but I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your really sweet video. You're precious and your kiddos are precious.!! Keep it up. You're so relatable.
You look amazing in all of your outfits! ❤️ I also wanted to tell you thank you for uploading the real and relatable parts of your day. I’m a new mom and it’s so refreshing to see content from another mom who is genuine and authentic.
Congratulations! You will never want to give that kind of security upp! I know as I did exactly the same for my entire work life as a teacher. Exept I started with 6 outfits so I didn’t come to school with the same outfit every Monday. As the years went on I extended it to 15 outfits for both school and other formal occasions. Just using next ”in line” of the outfits. In the morning and when you are stressed it is a blessing to know that you always have an outfit that you really feel good in to just put on! And as the children grew and I sometime got time to do a little more I could try new things like putting a shirt I had with pants together with a skirt instead and feel like I had something completely new on. To be honest that didn’t happened more than once or twice but it is always an option ( if you have the time). So I think this ”video” is brilliant for all stressed and overwhelmed mothers! You Are Brill as Always 👌❤️
This video has helped so much! My wardrobe has been bothering me. Its pretty minimal already. I think I have under 50 items (including outerwear and shoes, but not including unmentionables and pajamas). I spent a couple hours yesterday logging every item I have and then making 6 outfits for M-Sat. And then I have 3 outfits to rotate for Sunday church. It feels so good! I have 3 drawers that literally only have MTW clothes in one, ThFSat clothes, and then the last drawer with Sundays 3 choices. My other 2 drawers (top) is socks and unmentionables and the last drawer has PJs and grubby clothes. I am so excited to be jumping into this weekly wardrobe! 😅
Love your down to earth reality. Motherhood is work, seriously hard work some days. I get the living in pjs. It’s called rest and prioritising other things first. Don’t beat yourself up. You have another handsome boy there. Gorgeous and that smile melts your heart ❤️
I agree with you. The Thursday pants are not flattering and look worn and drabby. You look really well put together in your other outfits. I'd call it simple elegance. Change the Thursday pants for something more streamlined or even for a long skirt. Maybe? Thank you for an informative and honest video. God bless.
I always think of a capsule wardrobe as certain pieces and you can wear them anytime, but they are the only pieces you wear. I like the idea of wearing the same thing the same day of each week! Going to start this next week! Thanks so much for the encouragement! And for being honest and real!
Yrs and yrs ago before I ever heard of a capsule wardrobe, I did a thing. I got rid of things I wasn’t wearing, didn’t fit right, didn’t like anymore. Then I started making outfits and hanging them together in my closet. I didn’t put them back in the closet according to type of item or color. I would put a particular pr of pants/jeans on the rod, then the normal stuff I usually wore with it, then some tops I hadn’t considered wearing with them. And so on. I was young and cute then and wore more colors and patterns. So I’d make normal outfits, then add new stuff that would go with those particular colors & patterns. Really all I did was thin out my wardrobe and then instead of hanging things up by category and color, hung them in groups of outfits. It really helped me.
I loveeee this video! You can see your personality shine through in this one compared to all your video essays. I've loved all your previous videos, but this one is my favorite.
Thank you for sharing the “real” it’s comforting and inspiring all at the same time 🥰 going to pick out my outfits for the week, I’ve seen tips on doing this for years but only followed through for a couple days- this was before I became a momma 😛 thank you for being you.
Love the idea of choosing an outfit for each day and repeating each week. Really sounds like it would reduce the mommy decision fatigue and reluctance to get ready cause ya’ll know when you’re a mom you wake up and it’a go time 😅
I LOVE that you had baby drizzle on your sweater in the last part. It's a beautiful thing. It passes so very quickly and its REAL LIFE. I have not subscribed yet because i have never seen your videos and have no idea if your channel is my thing, but if you are always that real it may be a great background video for my sewing days. I do love the idea of your capsule wardrobe.
😮 THIS IS GENIUS!!! Idk why I’ve never thought of this?!? I can see myself actually getting dressed now 😂 I personally love the pants! However I have a very similar pair, and a similar shape as you and my husband says the same thing haha Thank you for the real, honest content ❤ such a joy and relief to see that I’m not alone
This video is organized chaos and I'm here for it. Going to start doing this. I resonated with what you said about wearing and looking the same as when your husband left and when he came home...😅
Pitch the pants your husband does not like. They are cute but something is off about them. Maybe the length or the ribbed off hem, I agree with him. I learned one thing if your husband says something about what you wear listen to him, mine doesn't care about clothes, so if he told me that I would know it was for a reason. You did great with all your outfits. You're a very pretty young lady and can wear whatever you want it would look good on you. Your baby is the cutest too. Peace!
Gen Z here, and I have to say I LOVE those pants! The wide leg and longer hem are much more trendy now. But trendy doesn't mean anything. What matters is if you like them and feel like yourself in them😊 Also, this idea is genius! I am currently 6 weeks pp with my second and most days I stay in the same clothes all day... It doesn't help that I'm in my weird limbo state of not fitting into my pregnancy clothes or normal clothes. Reducing my expectations of having a full wardrobe to just having one outfit for each day of the week sounds relieving at this point😅. Thanks for sharing!
Love this!!! Yes try an ankle boot with those jeans! You could also try rolling them, if both don’t work, I would say try a different silhouette for your body type-maybe a skinny jean that is more tapered ankle instead, still comfy but more flattering for hubby 🤣🤣
It was fun to glimpse a capsule wardrobe in real life as I sit in my pjs not wanting to change because it’s freezing. lol I have no excuse, I just have messy labradors a job and chores! Haha Also about the jeans, I think it’s the fit and length. You have a great shape and they are not flattering you correctly it could be the seams 🤷♀️. But I suggest find a comfy but flattering pair and don’t compromise so you know you know you will get your wear out of them. :)
Loved the ‘messy parts’ left in. I wonder if you found another ‘set’ type outfit for Thursday and Friday. It I could afford it I would not have a lot of jeans in my closet.
I just had a baby exactly a month ago and i used to be size 6 in everything!!! I was too thin before my baby and i dont fit my pre pregnancy clothes and im trying my best not to! I am now a size 10 and i love it haha how ever i have nothing that fits apart from maternity clothes so its time for me to shop around now ❤ i drink shakes and eat heaps of foods to maintain this weight its heathy foods btw ❤😅 so excited for my capsule wardrobe build! 😊
is that a heart shaped patch of darker hair on baby's head? how awesome is this? I am a granny since 2007 but my son was born just before Christmas and then postpartial syndrome got me and ....I can relate so well to the tiredness after non existing nights and all of it. The way you still keep your home neat and beautiful is amazing, watching you snatching a few second for the tiniest self care is instantly mood lifting. I am European and lounge ware wasn't done when I was young. However stretch denim made all the difference and the looks...something with a deep V-neck and ideally a propped up collar to lengthen the neck and draw the eyes to a young and beautiful face with an amazing smile goes a long way. What about just taking in the legs of the more cropped denim a tiny bit on the sides? it fits great at the top and that would elongate the legs as I suppose lenghtening heels would not really work with 3 kids, would it?
I NEED this and I’m going to try it. I’m a FTM and I’ve been in the same clothes since yesterday. It doesn’t feel good, at all. So I will try starting today, Tuesday.
my husband is the exact same way with that type of pants! I think they're so used to skinny jeans that anything else throws them :) loved this video & this idea! also love that you keep the realistic parts of motherhood in!
I love your wide leg jeans with the rough hem. Super cute! I love them because they are so comfy. I can’t wait for my white tshirt to get here!!! It will definitely be in my rotation
If hubby hates them, try to find out exactly why. Don’t assume that you know what they’re thinking. Because it might be something you can fix easily. And it will help you in your future shopping. I was often surprised by my husband’s response.
Yeah, I need to do the same! I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant but I don’t have the desire to dress up but I know I should. I might have to get some maternity jeggins to come up with my outfits. No more sweatpants unless I’m in postpartum 😅
Thanks so much for sharing. I'm inspired to do the same since I feel like I only wear 1 type of outfit and that's sweats. Its terrible since I have so much clothes in my closet that's just taking up space!
Don't shorten those jeans! If you're petite short pants can just make you shorter. Work on finding a shoe that you like with them. And I SO appreciate you keeping it real. Those early sleepless months are SO hard. It's a true service to show the real thing and finding ways to take care of yourself even in the midst of that.
I think that you should get rid of those pants. Reasoning behind this: think of it the other way around. Say Tate had a shirt that you hated, wouldn't you appreciate it if he got rid of it? I'm sure that you would be happy if he did and feel happier seeing him in a shirt that made him look more appealing to you. So same theory applies in the reverse. Well that's how I stopped and thought about it lol. I just know that feeling of seeing my partner in a shirt that I like, it makes me happy looking at them😍 and I would want my partner to feel the same way looking at me :)
Where’s the brown sweater from? Love it and also you need chunky lug boots for those pants they’re really not bad on you but…if your hubby doesn’t like them maybe find something he’ll like more. I’m here for ya sista w also being 5.2(&3/4)” 😂
I love your channel it's always so real & I can see myself in you. I will try out the 7 outfits for a month. Also about those pants that your husband dislikes... I have similar ones and my husband hated them first too :) why don't you try a high waisted pair with a clean and straight cut at the bottom, that will make your legs look longer & you can wear it with nice boots, all stars or doc martens just as an example. Thank you for uploading it's always inspiring for me.
I love how you keep motherhood real! Love your videos! ❤ How do you like Caraway pots/pans? I like the simplicity of their sets but wondering if I would still have to replace them in a few years.
I think you are on to something! Keep it up! Only because you asked...I'm with your husband on those jeans. You are beautiful with a cute figure, but those jeans do not flatter you at all. They make you look shorter and wider than you really are. They also don't seem to fit your backside, creating an unflattering look. It's the pants, not YOU. Just remember, with your wardrobe, only keep the clothes that make you feel amazing :) Get another pair of jeans that you feel great in. Also, here's a tip about sweats. You can buy really nice lounge pants that have a high, wide waistband and soft, stretch fabric that look nice and put together. Put a sweater, t-shirt, ANY top at all, with them and it's an elevated loungewear look. You feel like you're in sweats, but seriously look put together enough to go to the store or to lunch with friends. At the same time, you'd not feel the difference if you were home sick. I'm 48yrs old. I was a sahm for 17yrs. Preschool teacher for 9 yrs. I chose years ago to only wear cute clothes, no saggy butts, immediately throw away stained, torn, worn out clothes. I only wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing. You can do this and still look cute, sexy and put together. Some pants to check out are Dicks Sporting Goods DSG Women's Stride Jogger Pants, Dicks Sporting Goods CALIA Women's Calia Core Energize Jogger , and Target Women's Stretch Woven Tapered Cargo Pants - All in Motion. I love them all, and they all look better on than they do on these models, LOL. Then have a handful of basic tees, a few sweaters, a couple nice sweatshirts, and always remember to immediately throw away worn out or stained items. Then you are forced to replace things.
I dont like the cropped jean, just being honest. The other ones u wore were SO cute, replace those crops with another pair of the others haha. Love your sweaters! The tan one is so cute I want it!! Lol
I love that you keep your videos real and invite us into your mess. 😄 Life can be messy, we just need to keep going at it! 💪🏻 I really feel you on wearing pj’s. Im a stay at home mom too, of 4 children (homeschooling). And its soooo easy to wake up and go to sleep again in the same clothes. 😅 but it does make you feel so much better when you dont! And i agree with your husband on the pants. Other types of pants suit your body better. (Im just 1.60m so i know this problem all too well 😆)
I love that you didn’t edit out those parts and kept them in, it’s why mothers love your channel you are so much more relatable. Loved all outfits, can I say you are honestly glowing since having baby Rory, ❤❤❤

One white tshirt will get pretty grimy….capsule wardrobe doesn’t mean the same clothes every day…it’s a mix and match wardrobe…

I’m pretty newish at the SAHM life so transitioning to the “this isn’t a day off, this is life” mindset has been weird.

If your husband hates the pants and you’re unsure about them, I say just get rid of them/replace with something you love
Omg I love you and you are giving me life watching you as I care for my 14wo (FTM). Thanks for keeping it so real!
I used to do this when I was a preschool teacher. I should start again!
I like the Thursday jeans! Flattering 😊
This was great ! You are an amazing mom. Thank you for your honesty.
Great concept!! I really like the jeans & jean shirt with white tee outfit and the sweaters. And the cream vest with the white under, also cute.
Lovely! Love seeing you live the real mama life. You’re doing great in a really challenging season. ❤
Thank you for sharing this, LOVE this idea! Also a mom with young kids 🙌 Definitely going to try to implement this into my life!
Thank you for being real! This is how I feel right now except without a baby😂 God bless you in this season of life. I am definitely going to try this
Great job showing up! We love hearing / seeing kiddos especially those of us with adult children, I have a 19 and 10 yo ❤
This video is organized chaos and I'm here for it. Going to start doing this. I resonated with what you said about wearing and looking the same as when your husband left and when he came home...😅
thank you for being so honest here!! can totally relate! loved this video!! thank you for sharing! ♥️ Amanda (boymama from switzerland)
Margaret, this had to be one of my favorite videos you've made! Great job momma, hope you get more sleep soon
Yes! I also don't like getting dressed!
I already have a fairly minimal capsule type wardrobe.
I LOVE your content, Hope the kids are healthy , and your postpartum is going well
I think the jeans are a cute modern fit. Love them. And i absolutely LOVE this video. So real, so relatable, such a great idea.
Pitch the pants your husband does not like. They are cute but something is off about them. Maybe the length or the ribbed off hem, I agree with him. I learned one thing if your husband says something about what you wear listen to him, mine doesn't care about clothes, so if he told me that I would know it was for a reason. You did great with all your outfits. You're a very pretty young lady and can wear whatever you want it would look good on you. Your baby is the cutest too. Peace!
Beautifully made, honest video-loved it!
Gen Z here, and I have to say I LOVE those pants! The wide leg and longer hem are much more trendy now. But trendy doesn't mean anything. What matters is if you like them and feel like yourself in them😊
Also, this idea is genius! I am currently 6 weeks pp with my second and most days I stay in the same clothes all day... It doesn't help that I'm in my weird limbo state of not fitting into my pregnancy clothes or normal clothes. Reducing my expectations of having a full wardrobe to just having one outfit for each day of the week sounds relieving at this point😅. Thanks for sharing!
Decision fatigue is real for me so this seems like something I would enjoy. I’m getting ready to do the same principle for meals.
Love this!!! Yes try an ankle boot with those jeans! You could also try rolling them, if both don’t work, I would say try a different silhouette for your body type-maybe a skinny jean that is more tapered ankle instead, still comfy but more flattering for hubby 🤣🤣
It was fun to glimpse a capsule wardrobe in real life as I sit in my pjs not wanting to change because it’s freezing. lol I have no excuse, I just have messy labradors a job and chores! Haha
Also about the jeans, I think it’s the fit and length. You have a great shape and they are not flattering you correctly it could be the seams 🤷♀️. But I suggest find a comfy but flattering pair and don’t compromise so you know you know you will get your wear out of them. :)
Loved the ‘messy parts’ left in. I wonder if you found another ‘set’ type outfit for Thursday and Friday. It I could afford it I would not have a lot of jeans in my closet.
I just had a baby exactly a month ago and i used to be size 6 in everything!!! I was too thin before my baby and i dont fit my pre pregnancy clothes and im trying my best not to! I am now a size 10 and i love it haha how ever i have nothing that fits apart from maternity clothes so its time for me to shop around now ❤ i drink shakes and eat heaps of foods to maintain this weight its heathy foods btw ❤😅 so excited for my capsule wardrobe build! 😊
is that a heart shaped patch of darker hair on baby's head? how awesome is this?
I am a granny since 2007 but my son was born just before Christmas and then postpartial syndrome got me and ....I can relate so well to the tiredness after non existing nights and all of it. The way you still keep your home neat and beautiful is amazing, watching you snatching a few second for the tiniest self care is instantly mood lifting.
I am European and lounge ware wasn't done when I was young. However stretch denim made all the difference and the looks...something with a deep V-neck and ideally a propped up collar to lengthen the neck and draw the eyes to a young and beautiful face with an amazing smile goes a long way.
What about just taking in the legs of the more cropped denim a tiny bit on the sides? it fits great at the top and that would elongate the legs as I suppose lenghtening heels would not really work with 3 kids, would it?
I NEED this and I’m going to try it. I’m a FTM and I’ve been in the same clothes since yesterday. It doesn’t feel good, at all. So I will try starting today, Tuesday.
Great video and your kiddos are adorable!
Super cute cropped jeans but if you go out of the house in them, wear a platform shoe. Like a platform sneaker. Keep. Don't cut.
Love all your videos. Youre so genuine! Greetings from Cuba.
Mind blown! Why haven’t I thought of picking an outfit for each day?!
my husband is the exact same way with that type of pants! I think they're so used to skinny jeans that anything else throws them :) loved this video & this idea! also love that you keep the realistic parts of motherhood in!
Can you link the amazon outfit?
I like the straight jeans 👖 personally. They're stylish 😎
This is such an amazing idea 🙌🙌🙌 Thank you xxx
I love your wide leg jeans with the rough hem.
Super cute!
I love them because they are so comfy.
I can’t wait for my white tshirt to get here!!! It will definitely be in my rotation
If hubby hates them, try to find out exactly why. Don’t assume that you know what they’re thinking. Because it might be something you can fix easily. And it will help you in your future shopping. I was often surprised by my husband’s response.
I wear a dress every day .So easy. Dresses suitable for nursing mums are available and so practical
Yeah, I need to do the same! I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant but I don’t have the desire to dress up but I know I should. I might have to get some maternity jeggins to come up with my outfits. No more sweatpants unless I’m in postpartum 😅
Where is your green dress from? It's so pretty ^^
Thanks so much for sharing. I'm inspired to do the same since I feel like I only wear 1 type of outfit and that's sweats. Its terrible since I have so much clothes in my closet that's just taking up space!
What is the white box where you put your phone in the bathroom? Is it to charge your phone or to make sure you don’t look at it for a while?
I have a capsule wardrobe and love it too! Can you share some links to your jeans?! I am in need of some new ones!
Loved this!
You should try a mom uniform just wear the same thing all week but with different colors for the top
Don't shorten those jeans! If you're petite short pants can just make you shorter. Work on finding a shoe that you like with them.
And I SO appreciate you keeping it real. Those early sleepless months are SO hard. It's a true service to show the real thing and finding ways to take care of yourself even in the midst of that.
I think that you should get rid of those pants. Reasoning behind this: think of it the other way around. Say Tate had a shirt that you hated, wouldn't you appreciate it if he got rid of it? I'm sure that you would be happy if he did and feel happier seeing him in a shirt that made him look more appealing to you. So same theory applies in the reverse. Well that's how I stopped and thought about it lol.
I just know that feeling of seeing my partner in a shirt that I like, it makes me happy looking at them😍 and I would want my partner to feel the same way looking at me :)
That was a joy to watch ♡
Where’s the brown sweater from? Love it and also you need chunky lug boots for those pants they’re really not bad on you but…if your hubby doesn’t like them maybe find something he’ll like more. I’m here for ya sista w also being 5.2(&3/4)” 😂
Outfit #4, trim the bottom - take up another inch or 2 for more intentional 'cropped' look... from a fellow 5'3!
If hubby hates those jeans they should go away... they are not really a good look for you. Motherhood on the other hand looks great on you!
where is the sweater in your Tuesday outfit from? love the chocolate color and fit! Loved this video and you too
I love your channel it's always so real & I can see myself in you. I will try out the 7 outfits for a month. Also about those pants that your husband dislikes... I have similar ones and my husband hated them first too :) why don't you try a high waisted pair with a clean and straight cut at the bottom, that will make your legs look longer & you can wear it with nice boots, all stars or doc martens just as an example. Thank you for uploading it's always inspiring for me.
I love how you keep motherhood real! Love your videos! ❤
How do you like Caraway pots/pans? I like the simplicity of their sets but wondering if I would still have to replace them in a few years.
5:17 No, it’s not gross to wear the same set a couple of times, otherwise you’d have to wash a ton of stuff with every load.
I think you are on to something! Keep it up! Only because you asked...I'm with your husband on those jeans. You are beautiful with a cute figure, but those jeans do not flatter you at all. They make you look shorter and wider than you really are. They also don't seem to fit your backside, creating an unflattering look. It's the pants, not YOU. Just remember, with your wardrobe, only keep the clothes that make you feel amazing :) Get another pair of jeans that you feel great in. Also, here's a tip about sweats. You can buy really nice lounge pants that have a high, wide waistband and soft, stretch fabric that look nice and put together. Put a sweater, t-shirt, ANY top at all, with them and it's an elevated loungewear look. You feel like you're in sweats, but seriously look put together enough to go to the store or to lunch with friends. At the same time, you'd not feel the difference if you were home sick. I'm 48yrs old. I was a sahm for 17yrs. Preschool teacher for 9 yrs. I chose years ago to only wear cute clothes, no saggy butts, immediately throw away stained, torn, worn out clothes. I only wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing. You can do this and still look cute, sexy and put together. Some pants to check out are Dicks Sporting Goods DSG Women's Stride Jogger Pants, Dicks Sporting Goods CALIA Women's Calia Core Energize Jogger
, and Target Women's Stretch Woven Tapered Cargo Pants - All in Motion. I love them all, and they all look better on than they do on these models, LOL. Then have a handful of basic tees, a few sweaters, a couple nice sweatshirts, and always remember to immediately throw away worn out or stained items. Then you are forced to replace things.
Love this. Can you make a productive routine day in the life w/kids/baby video.
When you post it makes me so HAPPY☺️ where is your brown sweater from?? It’s so cute and cozy💕
What’s the Amazon outfit from?! Must know 😂
I think the jeans are fine! Leave them as is, imo, I feel if you trim them they'll get too short and they'll make your lower half look short.
I dont like the cropped jean, just being honest. The other ones u wore were SO cute, replace those crops with another pair of the others haha. Love your sweaters! The tan one is so cute I want it!! Lol
I love that you keep your videos real and invite us into your mess. 😄
Life can be messy, we just need to keep going at it! 💪🏻
I really feel you on wearing pj’s. Im a stay at home mom too, of 4 children (homeschooling). And its soooo easy to wake up and go to sleep again in the same clothes. 😅 but it does make you feel so much better when you dont!
And i agree with your husband on the pants. Other types of pants suit your body better. (Im just 1.60m so i know this problem all too well 😆)
