Casual Khaki and Grey
While I love to dress up (I would love several dress changes for my wedding like the stars do) I spend way more of my time in a casual environment. You might say below casual on the fashion totem pole. I spend 50% of my time at sporting practices or games for my kids or playing chauffeur. Neither scenario requires anything more than yoga pants, but I get tired of feeling like a frumpy, no fashion, middle-aged, mom at these things because there’s always that one mom who looks like a million bucks.
I decided this summer I would try a little harder and even though a rugby match or softball game doesn’t require a certain outfit, I would still take more time to wear what was comfortable and appropriate for the field and made me feel good.
Until this past weekend, it’s been cool, especially for those 8 am games, so I wanted a pant but one that was lightweight. These joggers from Ann Taylor loft were perfect. Initially, when I bought these I wasn’t sure I’d like the elastic cuffs at the bottom, but I feel they give a little more pizazz to the outfit than a regular pant leg or Capri.
T-shirts are a main staple in everyone’s wardrobe (my favorites are from Banana Republic) and on warm days outside a basic cotton T is comfy and breathable.
Then I went way outside the box and threw on a sparkly necklace. Why? Because we all need our sparkle, and it takes this outfit from a little on the boring side to fun and cute. Accessories can make or break an outfit. Which is why I added this little clutch. I wouldn’t use it for a game but maybe dinner after?
These shoes were a steal at TJ Maxx, and although they have a high wedge (I just love wedges don’t you), the shoe is amazingly comfortable.
Surprisingly, I didn’t feel too dressed up, and I didn’t feel like a frumpy old lady.
What’s your go-to outfit for kids sporting activities?
You can shop the style below. I added a few more fun things that would compliment a similar outfit. I just couldn’t resist.
