Readers and friends often mention how difficult they find it to get out of their daily Mom uniform: jeans. And I agree. You’ve seen me wear jeans here, here, here and here…. among others! But I do like to wear a skirt too. I think it is great to have a fresh change and when I put on a skirt, I suddenly feel feminine, elegant and graceful. But to wear it daily with little ones can be a challenge. I find a regular cotton skirt can be a great staple for a Mom’s wardrobe. You can wear it all year round and on varying occasions. Here’s three ways I wear my essential skirt (a handmedown from my Mom!)

For work: With a button down shirt and flats

For everyday casual – ballet flats and a white tee (2 other essentials in a Mom’s wardrobe!)

And a season appropriate outfit – with a sweater, tights and boots!

Moms: take up the challenge, ditch your jeans and wear a skirt today!
