Pricey to Possible: Shearling Lined Moto Boot

Pricey to Possible: Shearling Lined Moto Boot by superchicmom featuring cropped jeans

I love my Ugg Boots but just might be feeling like I am a little too old to wear them (at least to go out in public in them). My husband pretty much teases me every time I wear them out - not that I let that stop me :) . I really want something just as cozy that I can quickly slip on to run out to greet the bus or buy milk in. How cool are these moto boots? While I am definitely more of a preppy girl, I definitely admire that effortless cool look with a touch of tough. I think I like the possible boots even more than the pricey because the bottom is leather and a little more waterproof than a full suede boot. I already own an aran sweater from Zara and distressed jeans so I can put these boots to work right away in my wardrobe without needing to buy anything more. Plus they are 40% off today with code SHOP at Gap to bring them to under $60!!

I hope you have a great week!

Already In Your Closet - Graphic Tee

Already In Your Closet - Graphic Tee by superchicmom featuring suede booties

Remember a few posts ago when I said I was going to try to focus more on featuring items and looks that we all have in our closets rather than trying to promote new items all the time - well - here we go! At this point, I am pretty sure everyone has at least one graphic tee in their closet from summer. This is how I plan on transitioning mine to fall using that faux fur scarf I bought on sale at the end of last winter. The fur scarf and black satchel can dress this look up just enough. And I bet you already have a black satchel or tote in your closet too!

Let's all have a great Friday and rock those graphic tees.

Summer BBQ Ready

Summer BBQ Ready by superchicmom featuring a cotton trousers

It is officially our first summer holiday weekend! Yeah! I hope everyone has good weather this weekend to enjoy BBQ season kick off. It can still be a little cool this time of year so here is some BBQ style inspiration. I always wear flats to a BBQ....how about you? My days of wearing heels to an outdoor party are over - I need to be fast on my feet to race after my little man!

Another great part about this weekend.....Memorial Day Sales! I am praying J. Crew starts a percentage off their new arrivals because I have a few items on my wish list like this surfboard sweater, this Mark Alary bracelet (at a fraction of his fine jewelry prices), and this palm print tee. Nordstrom is also having it's half yearly sale. Sadly, these Rag & Bone Newbury Boots I have been wanting are not on sale :(. Think I will try E-bay.

Have a great weekend, and Happy Sales to you!

Pricey to Possible:Boyfriend Short and Nude Sandal

Pricey to Possible:Boyfriend Short and Nude Sandal by superchicmom featuring frayed shorts

Okay, as far as I know Rachel Bilson isn't a mom yet, but she is super chic. And while I wouldn't wear a trench over shorty shorts around town with my son, I am kind of obsessed with this look. What I love about this look is the combo of the distressed denim and the nude sandals. I need mine a little less on the heel side, and I have been wanting the J. Crew Lillian wedge for some time. But - leave it up to Old Navy to bring in a perfectly possible substitute! I mean those soft sandals are under $25.00 and would go with anything!

Are you loving a strappy sandal and shorts? Yes or No for Moms and busy everyday women on the go?

Have a great weekend!

Street Style to Mom Style: Ready for spring!

Street Style to Mom Style: Ready for spring! by superchicmom featuring Madewell

So, I just got back from vacation and returned to pretty cold temps. When I saw this street style picture on Polyvore, I just fell in love. This is how I can't wait to feel...ready and joyous for when those spring days arrive and the sun feels warm on my back! I can't wait to break out some white ( and NOT winter white). It's officially spring this week...Yeah!!

And this girl's outfit is really cool. Only, I am wearing mine with flats. It's so chic yet everyday woman wearable, no?

Warmer Days Ahead

Warmer Days Ahead by superchicmom featuring Madewell

Well, it is 15 degrees here in new England again today with another foot or so of snow. I was able to get into the Gap for a quick trip and was feeling inspired by the light airy colors, lighter denim, and spring colors. Gap is totally winning me back lately. I keep thinking of cute spring outfits to wear. Warmer days are ahead right?

Are you loving Gap lately? Dreaming of Spring?

Hope you had a great weekend!

Inspired by Miranda Kerr - Double Denim

Miranda Kerr is just one of the most stylish women (and moms) out there. Granted, she is a fashion super model, but there is so much about her style that is casual chic. I love how she did the double denim look here. I almost always wear this look with darker denim on the bottom but this reversed version totally works! This is definitely one of my everyday uniforms, as this look is so easy to change up with accessories. See another amazing version on Rachell from Pink Peonies here. (images above via polyvore)

How do you guys style double denim? A yes or no?

The weather has been really cold (single digits) in New England, and it has been hard to maintain any sense of chicness if you are going outside. However, I found this picture of Sarah Jessica Parker and thought that not only was her bundled look chic, but actually practical and warm.

If a bulky down coat isn't your thing, try packable down. It's super light weight and still toasty. The packable down coats also tend to be thinner and more form fitting. At a certain point, fashion must suffer, because in these temps, not dressing warmly is dangerous.

Is it cold where you are? What are your thoughts on bulky down coats? Love or wear as a must?

Sequin Pants

Sequin Pants by superchicmom featuring kohl shoes

I have always admired a woman who could rock sequin pants like here and here. There is just something so whimsy and fun about them. But, alas it is all in the styling. I am waiting for my pair to arrive in the mail but am anxiously wondering if I will love them or hate them. Or even worse - will I love them but find them too young for me - something that happens more and more these days since I am not aging in reverse! I mean are sequin pants something a Mom can wear at holiday time or am I totally nuts?

I will not be rocking any sequins tonight as I am staying home with the family which is the best place to be!

What are your thoughts on sequin pants? Yes or No, No, No?

How would you style them? If you have worn them, I would love to hear where and how!

Happy New Year! Hope it is a fun and safe one for all tonight!    

Street Style to Mom Style: Bus Stop Look

Street Style to Mom Style: Bus Stop Look by superchicmom featuring old navy coats

I have yet to have to get up early and wait with my child at the bus stop, but I often see Moms out there waiting as I drive to work. Some are in full suits ready to leave for work themselves. Then I see some others in pajamas (this is a judgment free zone, we are all just doing our best- see Why Superchicmom Post Here). Perhaps there is something in between? I wonder, will I be able to maintain some sense of chic this early in the morning? When I came upon this street style look, I realized it was the perfect inspiration for bus stop style. You could actually sleep in the sweats and tee - quickly throw on your booties, hat, and scarf. A blanket coat is the perfect warm topper. Lastly add a pop of nude lip color (red is a bit much before breakfast) and you are good to go. After all, part of looking chic is looking like you didn't try too hard...right?

What do you wear out at the bus stop?

Same Accessories, Two Nautical Looks



I have been inspired by so many of my fave bloggers lately ( see here and here)  wearing some of these items that I wanted to see what I could do to use them in different ways using the same accessories, but different core pieces that I already have. I feel like both these looks easily transition from day to night (at least in a mom's world) due to the bold gold accessories and hint of bling on the sandals and top! A bright coral lipstick gives that pop of color. Recognize some of these items?....I believe in an edited closet, buying items that multi-task just like all you moms do! How do you mix up looks around accessories?

Holy Chic Two Ways

When one of my favorite blogs, The Pink Peonies posted this Holy Chic shirt in a set I fell in love. I love that it has a sense of humor! I am normally not a fan of graphic tees for anyone over the age of 30, but this one literally is chic. Plus, no mom can go wrong with a simple cotton tee you can wash and dry, don't need to iron. What are your thoughts on graphic tees?

Summer Pops Of Neon

In keeping with the last post, I am a little obsessed with neon. I did love it in the 80's and am kind of psyched to see it making a comeback. Color is just fun. Here are some of my favorite neon, budget, and mom friendly items. I refuse to spend a lot on such a trendy item. Here is how I am tempering mine - jeans, dark blazer, and a white tee - then adding a pop of one of the above items ( not the necklace, shoes, and bag). What are your thoughts on neon, must have or must forget?
