Looker Moms

I hadn’t been around for some time, I hope some of you missed me:)

In my opinion, most of our office clothes budget should be spent in tops. Tops are what people see and remember, and should be special, elegant and high quality.

You always need button shirts, at least 3. I suggest light colors, especially white and light gray or beige. Button shirts do not have to be classic and boring, check out this one from Gap European collection.

Cardigans are great office picks, plus they keep you warm when the air conditioner is working.

I love soft fabrics like satin and silk, but they’re hard to handle. Not recommended for daily use, keep one or two for special events. Instead, try this kind of top, made of cotton fabric.

Pants do not stand out as much as tops, so you can buy relatively low-priced pants from stores like Gap, Old Navy, etc… the most important thing here is that they sit well on your body. I have pants in all neutral colors, 5 in total: black, gray, black with gray stripes, brown and beige

The whole point of writing a point for yummy mommies, trendy mommies, working mommies or else, was to help other women in my situation look and feel fabulous. But sometimes fabulous is just about staying away from certain shapes, lengths or color combinations.

Although I know about a few Fashion no-nos that are very common, this is one that I was especially drawn to for such a long time…mixing black and bright colors.

When you mix black with bright colors, you make the black look dull and the color look cheap. No matter how much 80s nostalgia you are feeling, never, ever, go there again.

I hope you’ll find this useful, and remember, even Madonna is all about soft, feminine colors these days…
