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?

Fall Blazer

Blazer: J. Crew Schoolboy Shirt: J. Crew Jeans: J. Brand (but purchased mine pre-owned on E-bay for < $50.00). Loafers: Old Navy Bag: YSL Muse from E-bay. Locket: gift (Thanks M.B.) Glasses: Number One from E-bay belt: J. Crew Factory (old)

This is an outfit I wore to Church and then running errands. I have a small collection of blazers because I sometimes struggle how to wear them when the weather gets cooler and you need something warmer on top. I hate stuffing them into my down coat. After all,  we Moms need our arms to feel unrestricted. I have tried this look with a down vest over as a topper. The great thing about a blazer is it pulls together an otherwise casual look ( jeans and a tee) and gives just enough polish you can easily transition to work, church, and dinner. I also am a fan of J. Crew's new Schoolboy Blazer. With a 25% off coupon it seems like a good value as a timeless piece I will have for years. The longer length of the new version is more flattering than the classic and the body seems more tailored. I was able to go up a size without it looking boxy so I can fit a sweater underneath to wear this deeper into fall and winter.

How do you style your blazers? Do you think blazers are practical for busy Moms?

Changing it Up with a Scarf

Changing it Up with a Scarf by superchicmom featuring a knit infinity scarf

I invested in a cable knit sweater from Zara last season and have been amazed in how versatile it is. Especially when you change it up with a scarf. A simple scarf change can really give you a different look pending the vibe you are going for ...and keep you warm! I have found throwing a stylish scarf on is a great way to look chic quickly when you are running out the door to the bus stop maybe? There are so many great affordable scarves out there!

What are your favorite scarves for fall?
