Here are simple fashion tips to make life easier for the working moms:

 

Separates.

The working mom should not limit the contents of her wardrobe to one-piece numbers like dresses and jumpsuits. Oftentimes, if there is nothing but dresses and jumpsuits in the closet, what happens is that mom runs out of clean things to wear and does some mad digging for something clean in her closet. This is a definite time waster; keeping separates will reduce cut this out.

Blazers.

Blazers and jackets are quite flexible. Wearing one over a skirt or slacks gives mom the professional look for when going to work. They also go well with jeans and leggings for when taking the little ones to their softball game.

Skirts.

Mom?s skirts should be of a solid color, with as little pattern to them as possible so that they can be mixed and matched. They should be of medium length, not too long or not too short, so she would not have any problems if she has to run across the playground after some bully who just tried to beat her kid.

Pants.

Pants are also flexible items to have in mom?s wardrobe. Pair them with a blazer and they are great for boardroom battles. Slip on a windbreaker or a T-shirt over them and mom is ready for some after-school shindig with the kids.

Blouses.

The simple, button-down types with regular sleeves are the perfect ones for the working mom. They give the less hassle when mom is wrestling with baby.

Undergarments.

It is hard to dig through the underwear draw and yet not find a clean one that will suit mom?s outfit. Perhaps it would be best for her to just buy them in one color and to buy pieces that can also mix and match.

Fabrics.

The working mom should start avoiding clothes that are labeled ?dry clean only.? These pieces, while they look nice, take too much time and money to actually keep clean. The clothes the working mom wears should be made of comfortable and washable fabrics, things that can keep up to the busy and sometimes messy life of a woman struggling with a career and kids.
