I joined Bill Anderson on Good Day Philadelphia to showcase some budget-friendly looks for Mom this summer. (To watch the full segment click HERE.)
This summer, Moms are back outside, we are back in the office, and we are on-the-go, so I wanted to share some Mom-friendly looks that are both functional and also on trend. I wanted to work with the clothing brand, Missguided, because they offer a “Cool Mom” style with looks that every-BODY can fit and feel current in. Missguided already sets affordable price points, but they are also constantly having sales. So, the looks I’ve chosen for today are under $75 each in total, with shoes. Let’s Dive into the Looks!
Look 1: Working Mom
A lot of working Moms are going back into the office now and I think this trench coat dress trend is perfect for making the transition easier and in a stylish way. I love that this dress is essentially a tailored blazer, with an office-appropriate collar and utility pockets. I pair these with a clear heel or a blocked mule heel for more comfort. The teal color is fresh and it's an overall classy, professional look that is perfect for both working in-the-office, as well as an after-work business dinner.
Look 2: On-The-Go
Every Mom is on-the-go, whether she is working at home, raising the kids, running a business or doing all of these things simultaneously. This means that we Moms are constantly changing tasks throughout the day, jumping in and out of the car to run errands, jumping on zoom calls, taking kids to school and activities, taking care of the house, cooking, shopping, attending meetings - you name it! So the “On-the-Go Mom” look is all about being comfortable, casual and also utilitarian. This beautiful, slate-blue cowl neck top is sleeveless, so it works indoors and outdoors if it’s hot. And the pants are comfortable, but still have a nice, pleated seam line down the front. I can throw both pieces on easily, in a rush, and still feel dressed for the day. I actually wear this outfit with chunky sneakers so I can run from here-to-there much faster!
Look 3: Trendy Weekend Mom
When the weekend finally arrives, Moms are out at kids’ birthday parties, family picnics and brunches! It is the perfect time to wear a cute, trendy summer dress. Floral prints and chunky sandals are back in from the 90’s right now, so this look is absolutely on-trend. Wrap dresses are always my favorite because they are comfortable and easy to throw on. My favorite features of this dress are the puff-sleeves ruffles that make it stylishly fun.
Look 4: Date Night
Once in a while, Moms get to go on dates! Whether you are a married Mom who doesn’t get alone-time with your husband very often, or you are a single Mom who is getting back out there into the dating pool, it always feels good to dress up and feel sexy in your skin. I love this dress for many reasons: body con is flattering on every figure and accentuates all the right places. Side ruching is a fun trend that is IN right now and I love this feature because you can adjust the length of the dress and it’s just really sexy. Since we are in summer season, I like the bright summer color and it pairs well with these white tie-up sandal heels.
But I also love this dress because it’s made from recycled material! Missguided uses post-consumer polyester waste, like plastic bottles and textile waste, to produce this dress. They have an entire line of clothing that uses less water, less energy and less waste.
Look 5: Swimwear
Summer is all about water play. My favorite part of summer is going to the beach and swimming pools. Sometimes my son and I even just run through the sprinklers at home and throw water balloons. I like this bikini top because it has supportive underwire and has more coverage than a typical triangle-top.
I also like to wear sarongs just to give me a little extra coverage when I’m running around. This cheesecloth cover-up is cute and easy to tie. Maybe my favorite part of this look is the fun silver, tie-up sandals! I always choose footwear that is easy to run around in and I like the tie-ups because they are less likely to fly off. Overall, this is just a fun, colorful look!
