Mom Fashion: 5 Items Every Busy Mom Needs

As a busy mom of 4, I know it can be difficult to find the time to look fashionably fabulous every single day. If I have the chance to rise and shine before my sons, I usually get a good hour or so before they are up. I can shower. I can dry my hair. I can put on makeup. And I can take the time to pick out a great outfit.

(It doesn’t always happen, believe me.)

I received a question from a reader that I am excited to blog about today…

I just had a baby 5 months ago and I am looking to update my fall wardrobe. What do you recommend for a busy mom of 5 who wants to look stylish without breaking the bank and spending too much time at it?

I love this question because it’s the perfect time to head into some of my favorite stores and shops and score some fabulous Fall Clothing! I love finding pieces that I can reuse over and over again, but that are also affordable. I want to share 5 items that every busy moms need this Fall!
