Sweat pants, t-shirts, and tennis shoes: it’s the mommy uniform. I should know since I wear it every day. I remember when my closet contained cute clothes. The tag of nearly every garment read ‘dry clean’ or ‘hand wash.’ Those were the days when spit up only got on your duds after your friends made you laugh so hard that it flew out of your own mouth.
When I look in my closet now, I cringe. It’s pretty pathetic. If a t-shirt is stained, I wear it anyway. If a pair of pants has a hole, who cares? It’s sad but true. My main clothes criteria two kids later: is it washable? I see how the mommy uniform grabs you and never lets go.
Enough is enough.
Take a look at this top from www.nordstrom.com. The crinkled blouse is silk. A four letter word that’s rarely allowed in my home anymore. The floaty jewel toned piece is embroidery dotted with sparkling beads and falls at the hip. I’m so excited that it’s dry clean only!
It’s the perfect uniform for date night.
