Fashion Friday: I Just Want to Be Comfy!

It’s been a long but short week- I’ve been bananas all week at the office, culminating in being out last night until 11:15 y’all (officially the latest I’ve stayed up since getting pregnant) while judging the IIDA New England’s Coutourism Fashion Show (I hope to post a recap next week- it was incredible and so inspiring!)

So I woke up this morning tired, behind in my schedule- hence the late post- and needing to get dressed.  And as I have most days since becoming a mom- I just want to be comfy and able to move!  However, I never, ever want to look like a slob.  You never know who you will run into in the course of a day, and should always look somewhat pulled together (in my opinion- this also goes for while traveling!)  I cringe when I see people running errands in actual Ugg slippers and pajama pants.  There are so many easy ways to be super cozy and comfortable but while looking relatively chic and like you tried a little!

My formula for fall- stretchy skinny jeans (try these or these), leggings (obsessed with these from Spanx because, well, mama needs a little compression and that tiny ankle slit is perfection) or faux leather leggings PLUS a big comfy sweater, cardigan, poncho or vest paired with a nice long sleeve tee.  There are even sweatshirts with nice structure and design that look for like jackets than the ol’ college hoodie you have stuffed in the back of your closet.
