The long days of summer are winding down. The nights are getting cooler and the days shorter. New school years are starting, new chapters of life, new routines, and new fall lines of our favorite brands being released! My oldest started kindergarten this year. I think I'm more excited than he is (going from 2 to 1 kiddo during the day is amazing!). Anyways, we live right across the street from Micah's elementary school, so I walk him there every morning. I love seeing other other moms and what they wear. I love getting inspiration and ideas from other mommas too! I pretty much have two looks, casual and contemporary. If you're like me, it's a mad dash to drop kids off in time for school. Even in a hurry, you can still look put together. I like to refer to this look as wearing "real clothes". Just because you're wearing jeans, doesn't mean you can't still look put together. Here's my go to tips for "real clothes": 1) The easiest way to look stylish is by pairing a subtle pattern with some classic looks. Like my prAana top with skinny jeans and a neutral flat. I love this top not only because it's so soft and comfortable, but also because it's a great transitional piece. It's still light enough for these warmer last days of summer, but it has some earth tones added into it that will coordinate with other darker fall pieces later on when it's cooler. You can check it out along with their fall line at http://www.prana.com/ and save some money with discount code: FANL15 2) A solid structured bag is a must have for looking put together. A solid, more neutral color, will go with more of your clothing and look more timeless than a bold print or bright color. I prefer structured bags for a cleaner look versus a bag that's saggy or floppy. 3) My last tip to looking stylish and put together is a great chain necklace. I love this gold layered one because it brings the class of wearing accessories with, again being subtle and timeless. This is my most frequented look. Let's admit it, most of us wear activewear even when we're not being active, am I right?! It is, however, still possible to look put together even in workout clothes. 1) Don't shy away from beautiful colors and pretty prints, but make sure to pair any prints with a neutral solid. These prAna tights are some of my favorites from their new fall line. The pattern and colors are so gorgeous! Plus, they are soft and comfortable. These are also available at http://www.prana.com/ and discount code FANL15 can be applied! I seriously could live in these they are so comfortable and NOT sheer (they pas the bend over test!). 2) A great hat, because 2 words, BED HEAD! On busy mornings, which are most mornings, I don't want to have to fix my hair, so putting on a hat is a great fix! A solid color without any logos helps keep you looking put together. 3) Lastly, a neutral colored tennis shoe is a must! These gray heathered shoes will go with all my activewear and allow me to keep up with my busy boys! What are your tips for looking put together? I'd love to hear your ideas, too! Lastly, I'll leave you with a picture of the most important accessory every momma needs to get through the mornings and drop off.
