4 Styling Tips for Busy Moms


When you have a million things to juggle daily, it can be difficult to create and prioritize your unique style as a mom. Statistics show that before motherhood, women spent 41 minutes preparing themselves for the day ahead, and after becoming mothers, that number reduced to 25 minutes. No matter what you do, you may feel as if there’s never enough time to pay attention to the way you look, whether you're running errands, attending school functions, or working. 

Motherhood is a great experience, but maintaining your unique style and looking trendy while handling the needs of your family may be difficult. Many moms believe that they must compromise their looks in order to fulfill their obligations, but this is not the case. You may seem beautiful and put together without sacrificing comfort or functionality by following a few basic tips and practices. Looking nice and feeling confident may have a huge influence on your entire mood and productivity.

The following four simple styling tips can help you look and feel your best, even on your busiest days.

Accessorize with statement jewelry pieces 

Jewelry can make or break an outfit, and it’s a simple way to inject some personality and flair into an outfit. So invest in statement jewelry pieces that can transform even the most basic of clothes. These pieces may spice up your outfit and help you stand out from the crowd. For instance, try combining your outfit with high-quality and affordable pearls, like a white Freshwater pearl necklace or a diamond Akoya pearl pendant. 

Wearing high-quality will liven up a simple shirt and jeans outfit or make a basic, colorful dress more elegant. Don't be afraid to experiment with jewelry. Invest in pieces that may swiftly spice up your outfit and create an immediately stylish look.

Focus on comfy and stylish footwear

As a mom, you're on your feet a lot, so investing in comfy shoes that can keep up with your hectic lifestyle is crucial. Fortunately, there are many fashionable and comfy shoe alternatives, such as sneakers, loafers, ankle boots, and Melissa platform booties. These shoes may give some edge or a traditional style to your clothing while still offering the necessary support and comfort. However, comfort does not have to be boring. Ballet flats, attractive boots, or fashionable sandals that don't damage your feet are also essential. After all, chasing after toddlers needs footwear that is both fashionable and fast.

Keep a pair of sneakers by your entrance door so you always have them on hand. Whether you're rushing out the door to take the kids to sports practice, going to the grocery store, or meeting friends for coffee, a good pair of sneakers will always get you through. While simple white sneakers are always a safe bet, striking models with flashes of color can truly elevate your look.

Choose the right colors

The secret to creating effortless looks is choosing the right colors to wear. Having more neutral-colored clothes will help you seamlessly pair any clothing piece in your collection without fear of overlapping. However, this does not imply that you must limit yourself to black, white, and gray. While these colors are great for the foundation of your wardrobe, you may add splashes of bolder colors like red, emerald, or dark blue. 

You will be astounded at how different you may feel. Color can enhance your mood while also making you appear more youthful and rested than you are. Also, if you like a color but don't believe it matches you, get a purse, jewelry, or shoes in that shade and try it out. The result might surprise you.

Wear simple makeup

When mornings are hectic and you're running late, it's tempting to forgo your cosmetic routine entirely. However, if you enjoy wearing makeup and would rather not go out in public without it, stick to the fundamentals to save time. Apply concealer beneath your eyes and on your cheekbones, and then finish with a fast sweep of eye shadow and mascara. Apply some lip gloss, and you'll feel ready to take on the day.

Final thoughts

Don't allow your busy schedule to hold you back; looking stylish is not meant only for people with extra free time. As a mother, life may be difficult, but looking stylish can give you the confidence and courage you need to get through whatever the day throws at you. Super busy parents like you only need a few key items like beautiful jewelry, comfy footwear, and simple makeup to look fantastic and put together even on the busiest mornings.
