e are three and a half months into life as a family of four and let me tell you, it’s chaotic. Arguably it’s been easier for us as our first is a little bit older than the average older sibling but I’m constantly on the move, cleaning something, caring for someone, making sure everyone is fed, laundry is done, etc. It’s a never-ending job and one that’s easy to put yourself on the back burner. There’s so many things that fall by the wayside but today we are diving into the realm of clothing. It’s the first thing that falls off for me but it’s also an easy one to fix. Clothes make you feel good and can help bring you back from a little rut. That being said, I’m thrilled to be partnering with the Gap to bring you some easy mom outfits and inspiration. Let’s get started, shall we?!

Wide-Legged Jeans: My Polished Mom Look

I’m fully in my wide-legged jeans era. Number one, they are giving Victoria Beckham vibes – which I’ll take any day – and number two, they give the illusion of incredibly long legs that go on for days. I can tell you with full certainty that my legs are not as long as both pants in these outfits make them look. I went with a cream colour pair and an indigo/dark wash pair. Both pairs are incredibly versatile and are the perfect base to make mom outfits. As an added bonus, the cream colour pair will take me into the spring/summer and we all know I’m all about versatility

Creating Mom Outfits Using Wide-Legged Jeans

If wide legged jeans freak you out like they did me, I learned something last year about proportions. It’s best to play around with them; if you’re wearing an over-exaggerated piece on the top or bottom, do the opposite on the other half. So, if you have some wide legged jeans either in cream or indigo, pair it with a tighter top like this striped one here. For the record, it’s not that tight and it’s super soft. Plus it ties together my two favourite colours, white and black, perfectly.

Proportion Play When Creating Outfits

Okay, so we get the whole, wide legs on the bottom so tighter on top but what about when we don’t want to do that?! What if we are having a day where we want some loose-ness at the top without feeling too frumpy. Days where we’d rather be wearing polished mom outfits, not shleppy mom outfits. You can do it for sure. I’ve seen some ultra stylish moms go with oversized tops and bottoms and they somehow rock it. When you’re uncertain of that, you could go oversized but you could also go mid-sized like I did with this cardigan and the indigo denim below. The key here was the front tuck to define the waistline and that way you still get some good proportions.
