If you're back after checking out yesterday's post linked up with Anne and Shea to show off my work week spring essentials, welcome back! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check it out here. :) While my work week wardrobe can be a little on the casual side, my weekend wardrobe is about as casual as it gets without resorting to yoga pants. As a nursing mom to a 5 month old, comfort and layering is key. So here's the spring essentials for the weekend, when being a mom always comes first...
Distressed Denim
I've been a big fan of distressed denim lately. This is pretty close to my favorite pair, although thankfully I find them for only about $14 thanks to my love affair with Discount Fashion Warehouse. Side note - if you live in the Columbus area and appreciate a good bargain you really should check the place out. You have to check for damages, but in my opinion it's totally worth it. If I had the budget to spend more than $14 on a pair of pants though, these would be first on my list to try!
Converse
I've fallen a bit into what I call my mom uniform on the weekend and I'll admit I'm not mad about it! Converse are the key to that uniform...our baby boy even has a matching pair! I wouldn't mind having a ton of different colors, but for now my black pair has been my go to.
Black T-shirt
A black loose fitting tshirt. So simple, yet so necessary because when your weekends lovingly involve changing diapers and spending time up and down from the floor playing with your baby and likely end in at least a little bit of spit up, drool, or (and?) snot on you....easily washable and comfortable are the way to go. The one I'm wearing is a maternity shirt from Target that I still wear constantly. No shame in my game. :) I can't even find them online anymore, but if I could I would seriously think about buying more even though I have no plans to get pregnant again anytime soon. This option was my favorite and is so gloriously stretchy I could still wear it at the end of my pregnancy. These tees were a previous favorite and I really want to try this one.
Neutral Jacket
Olive may be my new favorite neutral. This olive jacket gets a reasonable amount of use during the work week too, but on the weekend it's a perfect option to throw on over my favorite tee when we leave the house. This favorite was an $8 find when a local Kohl's closed their store and it's been in my closet for years. You can find a similar style here or here.
Cross-Body Purse
My new favorite purse isn't pictured here only because I was absent minded and completely forgot to throw it on before taking pictures. For the weekend, a larger cross body purse replaces the tote bag. Hands free and big enough to fit my stuff plus a few diapers, wipes, pacifiers, a receiving blanket, and a change of clothes. You know, all the things necessary for an outing that includes a 5 month old! This dark teal bag (even though the website calls it blue) has been my go to for the past few months and I plan on using it all through spring as well. It's even on clearance now! If a classic color is more your style, this one would be my pick. For a brighter option for spring, I'd pick up this one in a heartbeat!
