How to be Stylish yet Comfortable at Home?
While comfort takes away the cake, style is often ignored while we SAHM choose our wardrobe. However, focussing only on the comfort takes us closer to being frumpy and our wardrobe would then be filled with stretchy yoga pants and T-shirts. While we get our hands’ dirty cleaning & mopping around the house, there is this satisfaction run adorning a yoga pant with an oversized t-shirt. And who knows it better than us SAHM?
When we talk about Trendy Winter Outfit Ideas for Stay at Home Moms, the first thing that I have in my mind is My all Time Wear – The Stylish & comfortable Yoga Pants. I love my stretch pants/t-shirt and I have always believed in a fresh no-makeup look. My “No makeup look” includes a black eye pencil and a nude lipstick or lip balm depending upon what my tastebuds are asking for in that particular day.
But with time passing by I have realized the importance of looking put together. It is not that I have gone really high on style and invest heavily on buying the latest of fashion and makeup, but I do have gone few notches higher up to look presentable along with doing the chores and being a SAHM. And yes, style and comfort can go hand in hand…
Tips That Helped Me on My Journey to Being a Put Together SAHM
-
Adding “Getting Ready” Time in My Morning Routine
This one thing has helped move from being a frumpy mom to a well put together mom. Adding this 20 minutes in my morning routine has made me more mindful of how I look for the day.
If you have been following my blog, you would know that I have not always been like this. I have been the mom who used to forget to take care of herself in the middle of all other priorities. However, with time I realised that when you indulge in Self Care it has many more implications that just being taken care of.
By working on your self, your are communicating to your self and the world that you are important and on the side; also taking care of your mental well-being. So this habit also features in my list of habits of happy SAHM too.

Spending 15 minutes n weekend to plan my dresses for the week
This is one thing I have discovered after various trials and errors. So when I made getting ready a part of my mornings routine, somehow I was not getting it right. Because I would end up searching for what to wear acc to my mood in the morning and ended up wearing something either not comfortable to be carried the whole day or something delicate that I worried of getting spoilt.
So after the various kinds of trials, I finalised on spending 15-20 mins on s Sunday evening planning for my week outfits and accessories. Since I also prepare an outline of my weekdays, I know the day I need to be in sneakers to run around all day and days I can do with my slip-on or sandals.
Weekend outfit planning involves selecting the outfits for the week along with the accessories like shoes or bags. I have a specific part of my wardrobe assigned for the weekly outfit planning where I use hangers to hang my each day outfit separately. To make it a no brainer for me, they are lined according to the sequence of weekdays.
This simple strategy is so useful, try it for yourself. I can’t help but talk about this often. It has resulted in a minimum of 10 minutes of time-saving every single day of the week. And this time is the time from the morning routine that is much more precious to me than from any other part of the day.

Re-Organising my wardrobe
Decluttering my wardrobe and purging pieces I don’t really use but have stored gas been really helpful to me in being a Put together SAHM. It helps in getting clarity and feeling calmer and in control of things at home. In fact this is one of the prominent tip on How to thrive as a SAHM and not just survive.
I usually organise my wardrobe on the basis of category first like jeans, sweaters, the etc. and then the looks like casual or formal looks. So a shelf in my wardrobe will have all the jeans at one place. And then it will also be different stacks of casual or semi-formal jeans.
However, my week outfit planning space would be very differently organised. I would have all the day clothes hanged together with accessories for the day stacked at the bottom of the outfit. This works beautifully in saving my time and mindshare in the mornings to just come pick up my hanger for the day and get ready.

Mindful Shopping
Being aware and mindful of your shopping patterns is again a very important tip For SAHM to create a wardrobe that is full of trendy and stylish outfits For SAHM. Shopping for things that you need and shopping for quality things that you can be assured of having in your wardrobe for at least 3-5 years are my two watch strategies on shopping.
I have always had a minimalist approach to my shopping and never really liked splurging on fashion. Another thing that I have recently picked up from experience is that there is absolutely no use of getting wooed by the Sales and discounts and picking up things of compromised quality or brands that you won’t want to wear. A better strategy that has worked for me is to buy less and buy quality brands.

Getting away from Perfectionism
Another thing that helped me look after myself and focus on looking stylish & trendy is to stop running after perfectionism in everything. So I am ok if my kids are not wearing an ironed shirt one day or if the kitchen shelves are a little disorganised. I understand this as a part of growing up.
Things would be messy, and they would need my attention all the while, sometimes I just have to close my eyes or divert my attention and focus on myself too. So getting away from being a perfectionist in house management I focus now on being the fun, happy and a well put together mom.
