Evening workout prep
Okay, outfit #1 for #smallthingsblogstyle challenge. If you missed it I’m trying to find about 5 go-to outfits that are functional, comfortable and simple for my days with the boys.
I’m waiting for some v-neck nude cami’s to arrive in the mail so I can wear them under this white v-neck tee. It’s a bit to sheer to be worn alone, but my favorite thing about it is that the V doesn’t dip too low. Madewell v-necks were my prior favorites, but not only have holes developed where the tag is sewn in but the V is just a little too low for my preference.
These shorts are pretty much the same as wearing “soft clothes” because they are soft but have a tiny bit of structure. My sister owns them too so that automatically makes me feel cool.
I added some color in the sandals which are very old from Target. A wedge would be cute too but flats are more realistic for my everyday!
Have you documented one (or more) of your go-to’s? I’d love to see them so use #smallthingsblogstyle when you post so myself and other participants can come see what you are wearing!

What kinds of things will be shared in the newsletter? If I already tune in daily to your blog to see all of your fabulousness, would I be getting new content from the newsletter or is it more of a curated review of existing content? I love your blog, by the way 🙂 Keep doin’ you!
Hi Kate! Love your blog. I’m a new mom to a six month old boy and a hairstylist. I have to admit I prefer my momdrobe days over my more stylish work clothes. I love the look.
Did you curl your hair with a curling iron or a wand in this photo? I have heavy, wavy(ish) hair but it’s fine. hold curl well, but im not sure if a want would work or take longer than an iron? ive been having this dilemma for a while now… lol
I love the outfit! Looks super comfy!

Hi Kate,
I really think you would look adorable in skorts. I wear Althleta skorts alot in the summer and they look dressed up, allow for movement without showing anything off, often have many pockets and look adorable with a dressy shirt or t-shirt. Favorite this season:

Those shorts look a-mazing. Great outfit, and excited for the newsletter!
Kate, please oh please tell me where you are getting the nude v-neck for layering. I really need a good one. Thanks!

Hi Kate. Just a note about drawstring pants (you can take it or leave it). Since my 40-something tummy is not as flat as it used to be, sometimes the drawstring looks awkward with an untucked t-shirt. My trick is to tie the drawstring and then tuck it into the inside of my pants. It’s still there, but not as bulky and doesn’t show through the t-shirt.
White and boys may not mix very well. Approximately how long would the white shirt stay clean? lol
This would be super cute with some converse tennies too!
That’s definitely cute and functional. Thumbs up. Another shoe you might like is Sanuk’s yoga slings. Seriously best flip flops EVER. They are cute and practical for a mom on the go!
Your top needs to be a lot smaller. Something form fitting. It would really neaten up the look. So what if you haven’t lost all your baby weight? You’re an adorable new mom!!
My son is 8 and we are very active. In order to keep up and look fabulous (or as fabulous as possible), I usually buy a couple pairs of new shorts from loft and several t shirts, and athletic shoes. Loft ha some fun colorful shorts this summer! Also, I highly recommend their linen tees!
Such a cute look! Fashionable and comfortable. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute!

Those shorts are adorable, if I look half as cute as you when I’m a mom, I would be WINNING!!
Love you Longer and Darker hair!
I think it looks great on you!
