Outfit: Work-able Casual

The whole notion of having a "Mom wardrobe" doesn't elicit a positive reaction in me.  Don't get me wrong, I love being a mother, it is the best decision I have ever made.  I just tend to picture the classic SNL Mom Jeans skit whenever I hear an outfit being described as a "Mom outfit".  I am not disparaging anyone else's style of dressing, it just isn't my style.  That being said, I am always trying to find a balance between presenting myself in the manner in which I am accustomed, and finding outfits that are workable with my daily life.  While being a mother is fantastic, I still want to be sure that I am keeping a true sense of who I truly am as well.  Sometimes that can be difficult.  Unfortunately, running after a four year old and volunteering at school don't really work well in a pencil skirt and heels(as much as I do love a pencil skirt and heels).  I love the combo of a little shift dress that can be paired with some cute flats and a great necklace.  Super easy instant outfit.  This look also works great in an office or many other workplace environments.
