Here we are again! It’s another edition of Daily Mom Style, in which I chronicle my daily outfits in an attempt to stay fabulous after 40 while working from home and driving the mom taxi. Hopefully I can inspire you too!
I love this casual, comfy outfit. The wide stripes are on trend and the loose styling of the top is forgiving when you need a little forgiveness . . . ahem.
This is the outfit I wore on Saturday to my PSMM Workshop. I wanted to look professional but not too fussy so I went with dark skinny jeans, a magenta ribbed sweater and this fitted khaki jacket that’s been hiding in the back of my closet, waiting for springtime! I also pulled out these brown wedge pumps, which are about 10 years old. I don’t wear them often, but sometimes they are exactly what I need.
Sunday was another mild day, and I really wanted to wear this black and white dot blouse. I love black and white with colored denim, but I’m not sure I love it with the cropped jean jacket. Maybe I need a blazer? And the yellow flats . . . are fun for spring but I don’t think they did much for this outfit. Bah.
I wore this outfit to have lunch with a friend and then to take some photos for my Sony215 project that I’ll be sharing more about later this week! I wanted to wear the scarf, and I thought it might be fun to try it with gray cords. It was a mild day but I wanted to be sure not to be chilly so I layered this black cardi over a long sleeve white tee. I couldn’t bear to break out the boots so I went with these silver ballet flats — not ideal for walking around town taking photos, but they were alright. I keep saying this, but I really need some “fashion sneakers” for days liks this!
And that’s all I’ve got this week! I spent a couple of days in yoga pants. Sue me.

Loving the shoe selections this week! I noticed the cute brown wedges on Saturday, but the yellow flats are my favorites. What a great punch of color!
I really like these outfits! The dot blouse is a lot of fun and so are the wide stripes. That striped top looks super-comfy.
Looks like you had a great week! And you got to take some photos outside – a sign spring is coming. Yay! 🙂

I would love to find something to wear with those yellow flats! So cute!
Love the outfits this week. Your new scarf looks great!
Visiting from The Pleated Poppy… Great Mom on the Go Looks! Love the scarf and metallic flats!
Love the silver flats and the scarf. I noticed your shoes on Saturday and loved them. I thought you just got them. They look brand new.
Love the gray cords/scarf outfit!!
The striped top looks great on you! I’m also really liking the gray cords outfit 🙂
Love that khaki jacket!
I swear we have the same taste. I have a khaki coat that is similar and also yellow flats and a turquoise purse that looks much the same! You’re adorable! About to turn 40 myself so looking to you for inspiration!

lovely as always! may i ask where do you get your long-sleeved tees from? always trying to find the “perfect” ones … thanks!
Which long sleeve tee do you mean? I was looking at the post and don’t see any. The stripe top is from Nordstrom and the black card I is from Banana Republic.
thx! it was the one under the black cardi i was curious about; so hard to find one fitted enough to go under cardis without being too tight. i’ll check out b.r. for them – thx again!
That was a tank. 🙂 I often wear tank tops under cardigans, even in the winter.
ha, no wonder it fit so well 🙂 never mind me then, i’m just confused!! you look great anyway 🙂
You know what??? I just looked again and I realize that it was a long sleeve tee!!!! I noticed the white in the chest area and realized a tank would have been more bare. Then I read the description and it was. That tee was from Nordstrom – their low end Caslon brand. I don’t wear it much but that day I was going for warmth.
I love the aqua handbag! Please tell me the brand.
Hi Colleltte. It’s a Rebecca Minkoff.
