Basic Outfit Upgrade

I have some friends on the interwebs who are good. Pretty, pretty good. After mulling over a name for this series for like 3 years, I put it out there on social media that I needed help – and BOOM! I was flooded with ideas.

I still haven’t decided though. Haha.

I think one of the hashtags will be something simple like #outfitupgrade or #basicoutfitupgraded so that it’s not too specific.

But for the series name, here are some of the suggestions so far:

  • In and Out
  • Wear to Where
  • Snapstyle
  • Wear to There
  • MomJeans
  • Wear it Out
  • Mom Upstyled
  • Shabby to Chic
  • Drab to Fab
  • Frump to Fab
  • Snap it Up
  • No Drama Mama Style
  • Home to Roam
  • Edgy Mamas
  • Wear at Home to Where and Roam
  • Who You Callin’ Basic
  • Beautify Your Basics
  • Homebody to Cool Mommy
  • Next Level Basic
  • All About that Base
  • Layering When Leaving
  • Mom’s Guide to Layering

I mean how can I choose?! More input welcome to narrow it down.

Today’s look is just chinos and a tee.  Doesn’t get much more basic than that.

So after floor time therapy at home, I threw on a jacket, sneakers, and some accessories and rolled on over to swim class. (Don’t forget the t-shirt front tuck!)

  1. I like Home to Roam, and I really like these posts!

  2. I love this series! It’s opening my eyes, since my “going out” outfit is usually my “bumming around the house” outfit plus shoes!

    I have to know: what is that gorgeous nail color?

    Love the owl ring!

    1. Shoot, it’s a salon gel manicure so I don’t even know! But Essie’s new “flowerista” is pretty darn close.

  3. Haha, I love the MomJeans! It just puts that image of Tina Fey and Amy Pohler… 😂
