While it may be a bit too predictable, I can see that I truly have created a uniform. With a dramatically edited closet, basics become your best friends! Have you ever tried to describe your style? It is hard to put into words. {At least it is for me.} My style….. Casual, cool? Laid-back, rocker? Minimal edge? Finally, after years of loving fashion and shopping, I have slowly discovered the pieces that truly look the best on my body and a style that I love. It is fun to get dressed!
OK! On to the real point of this post, my latest mom uniform. We are officially into the thick of little league baseball season! With four games a week, I feel like I am always in the bleachers. The uniform must be sporty and comfortable, but of course stylish.
Let’s break down the essential pieces to this uniform:
Distressed, mid-rise skinnies
Old Navy Rock Star mid-rise skinny jeans are kind of perfect. They have lots of stretch and the price point is fantastic! Don’t worry… the mid-rise isn’t too high, but kindly covers my middle-aged tummy. Because let’s be honest. Low rise jeans hit in JUST the wrong spot for women who have given birth. {Or at least most of them!}
Feminine, pink raglan sweatshirt
This sweet, Who What Wear pink sweatshirt is great for layering. I would wear it with a long ribbed tank underneath.
Black, lightweight bomber jacket
I am in love with this bomber jacket! {Admittedly, I now own three bomber jackets. There may be a problem brewing.} The sleeves are not lined, so they can easily be pushed up. It is cropped in just the right way and is effortlessly cool.
Gray sneakers
Needing these New Balance sneaks! The color is perfect for NW rainy, spring weather. Simple and retro awesome! And of course, comfortable.
Rose gold aviators
Sadly, my aviators are probably entering their last season. I adore them, but Ray-Ban doesn’t make the size/style anymore. These rose-gold aviators from J.Crew might be the perfect replacement.
PS//
In full disclosure, my usual “game uniform” is skinny jeans, 10 year-old UGG boots, fleece, Patagonia puffy jacket, baseball hat, Patagonia rain shell, running gloves and a waterproof blanket. Living in Seattle in the spring is not glamorous or for the faint of heart. The above uniform is for those few days that sun shines and the temp rises above 60 degrees.
