Mommin’ Wardrobe Essential Basics

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

When I first decided to create my Mom Style E-Course, I took a long look at my own wardrobe and you know what? A lot of my closet looks the same. Same colors, similar styles. In fact, it probably looks a lot like yours. It is full of a lot of easy items that are black, white, and gray and then my drawers are full of jeans and leggings. Why do all of our wardrobes look like this? Well, they are easy to wear and go with everything! They are our staples or essentials. They are the base of our wardrobes and really, the pieces that give us security and comfort.

These are important to a wardrobe especially as a busy mom rushing out the door while juggling kids, homework, water bottles and hoping you don’t forget your purse (sad when you had Starbucks planned). Knowing that you have these staples in your closet helps your life run smoother!

Below is my list of essentials/basics that I feel every woman needs (minus workout gear). These will be your items that will go with ANYTHING and that you don’t have to think about.

I will warn you, I am not a minimalist. While I appreciate it and get it, I love to shop and love changing it up so, my list is probably larger than most but, I also think us Mom’s need more and at times, may be rolling through 2-3 outfits a day.

I will definitely add to your wardrobe in a later lesson but let’s just start with our go to’s for now.
