It has been a while since I made one of these and I am way past due. Over the last 18 months, I guarantee that every single mom out there experienced being a stay at home mom at some point during those months. I will say that my stay at home mom wardrobe at the beginning of the pandemic looks a lot different than it does now.
But in the same breath, I will also say that it showed me how important it is to have truly comfortable items in your wardrobe that can be worn outside the house too.
I think what a lot of us struggled with was a) how to wear those comfortable clothes without looking like we just rolled out of bed, especially during such a high time of stress and anxiety, and b) and how to look put together with minimal effort because who the hell wants to spend a long time trying to make yourself look good.

When I was a teenager we had to make our own flare jeans by opening the side seam and sewing in a triangular piece of fabric. I made a few pairs and LOVED those jeans. I wore them until the back hem wore so far up that they looked ridiculous from behind.
In the mid-2000s flares became popular again and I had a pair of True Religion low rise that I lived in.
I actually see True Religion low rise flares a lot when I am thrifting and I always wonder what I was thinking. Those jeans were LOW.

One of the things 18+ months has taught us…or at least taught me is that you don’t need a huge wardrobe of clothes. I mean, I felt similar before all of this happened but it’s been really reinforced lately.
If you are looking for help building a capsule wardrobe then this post might be for you.
Every time I see someone’s massive walk-in closet bursting with clothes it doesn’t give me envy, it gives me anxiety.
Can you imagine trying to figure out what to wear every day with that much choice?

I have been for this moment all year. The fall capsule wardrobe moment. When I was out today, I got a little thrill when my watch buzzed with a notification from H&M saying “cozy fall knitwear”. I couldn’t wait to get home to check it out.
Because cozy fall knitwear is all part of my personal hygge.
I called this post The Ultimate Fall Capsule Wardrobe for Me because it is basically the pieces I live in from fall until it starts to warm up again in spring.
