“I Have Nothing to Wear”

You take a gander at your closet inventory and feel hopeless. Nothing to wear, nothing you feel good in, you probably only have 10 minutes to get yourself dressed, get your kids dressed, pack your bag and load everyone in to the car…and…HOLY COW. Stressful.

What to do?! Here is the #1 tip I have to share with you to help you get through these moments:

Go back to basics with a few wardrobe staples.

The basics are classy and simple. Especially in a pinch, but really…always. Everyone has their own basics they are comfortable in.

For me, in the winter, it’s usually, leggings, boots (flats or heels depending on how dressy I need to be), tunic (I’m a lover of tunics, especially if I am feeling bloated, but really…any day I’m happy and comfortable in a tunic), a cute jacket, and a necklace (sometimes a long statement necklace). Boom. Done.

These Mother Tucker leggings from Belly Bandit are my absolute 100% favorite leggings in all the land: Mother Tucker Leggings >>

Summer? Summer is harder. Lately, it’s been dresses. Dresses are great because they can be dressed up or down with heels or flats and with hair up or down depending on the event and how dressy you want to be. I prefer tea length because I am constantly chasing a toddler around which involves a lot of bending…

I have found some GREAT tea length RVCA dresses. Nordstrom carries RVCA, but so do a lot of Boutiques. My favorite go-to dress is this one: RVCA Midi Sundress >>

I am really not a fan of shorts, but I did obtain a nice longish pair (but not too long) of destroyed denim, high waisted, shorts from American Eagle. I love to pair these with oversized tee-shirts that hit around my waist (so a little longer than a crop top). This is great for hanging around the house, running errands, going to the park…you name it. Pop on some cute sunglasses and you’re set.
