DIY scarf for mommy


A pretty scarf is a perfect addition to a no-fuss mommy look. I know that my wardrobe of black/gray tunic/legging combos could use a splash of cozy color. Next up... ditching the pregnancy granny panties and combing my hair. One step at a time.

I just made this seriously easy scarf today. Quinn likes it. It may also be just enough trendy flannel so that I don't end up looking like a lumberjack this Fall.
Get the full DIY here

What do you do to not look like you just rolled out of bed? No, really, help me.

Fantastic! As a mom to a 2 year old and a 3 month old I am envious of how great you look. May I ask where you got your tunic? I feel the call of the leggings...

Ahhhh. The sweet leggings and tunic. So comfy and easy and just stylish enough. I got the tunic as a hand-me-down from Jaime after she skinnyfied post Scarlet, but it's originally from Forever 21. Thanks again Jaime for the postpartum wardrobe. You're the best friend and blog-partner a girl could have.

first of all, ditto. second of all, how much do you love that forever 21 tunic? i wore it for like a year after she was born. forever 21 is the best place for maternity clothes...so cheap and alterable too. but i happened to be lucky enough to be pregnant when empire waist was all the rage. now its all skinny jeans and rompers, not fair

You both look fantastic ^_^ No worries!
I have an almost 9 month old & I always looks pretty mussed and under slept -- comes with the territory ^_^

I've become a champ at perfecting the "cute hot mess" look. The messy, piecey bun, leftover mascara (hello smokey eyes). My hair is a similar dirty blonde, and being 7mo pregs, I'm definitely a fan of leggings, so I feel like I'm looking at myself in these pictures. Along wth scarves, I like funky necklaces, and jackets that go with anything. I have a brown pleather biker jacket from Target Maternity that I pretty much wear with every outfit, and I look like those hipsters.

Forever 21 has a maternity line. Did you know that? I didn't find out until after both my boys were born. I try to keep myself put together by curling my eyelashes, throwing on some chunky jewelry and a sweater. I live in Arizona so a cardigan is all you need during the days in winter.

If I am a mess and I look it. I just throw on my running shoes so it looks like I have been exercising and have an excuse to look "gross"
