Hello Purple Lipstick Readers!!!
I’ve always been really into fashion but most days, as a new mom, looking my best just isn’t even close to being number one on my to do list. That was until someone said, “Wow, you look like a mom!” Now normally I wouldn’t take offense to such a statement, but the person's tone suggested that it was NOT meant as a compliment. I took a quick look in the mirror and realized that I looked the way I felt… worn out! I needed help. I didn’t want to look too conservative (since I am only 26) but I wasn’t sure how to transition my wardrobe. Time was also a concern, so, I immediately googled “fashionable moms". There are 3 things I’ve learned that have seriously helped and compliment my new lifestyle (i.e. working single mom that never sleeps).
1. A little makeup goes a long way! My sisters have been telling me this for years and I’ve finally realized they’re right. Since I don’t have a lot of “me” time, I developed a quick morning facial routine, utilizing a neutral makeup palette. If I need a pop of color, my lips do the talking :D.
2. Braids, messy buns/ponytails, and yes… wigs… have continually come to my rescue. I have found that staying simple and functional are not only my best options but they’re also timelessly chic.
