As some of you know, I've been doing a capsule wardrobe this fall, mostly because I am not a big fan of buying maternity clothes (plus, I've made it almost 35 weeks with these clothes, what's another month-ish?!) and also because it makes getting dressed in the morning so much easier.
A big part of the capsule wardrobe is finding your uniform. What are you most comfortable in? What items do you reach for the most? What's your favorite color palette? And most importantly, what suits your lifestyle the best?
We all have our aspirational style, and this is typically the style we most often pin on Pinterest, aka what we picture ourselves wearing at our best. Sometimes, this style actually does line up with your lifestyle, but most of the time it's probably not something that is practical for every day life. You may love high heels and silk blouses, but if you're a mom those pieces may end up just sitting in your closet.
It's like me and fall in Texas. As much as I want all the fuzzy sweaters, lace-up boots and cozy scarves, realistic outfits for fall in Texas look more like jeans and sneakers with the occasional light sweater.
Or like me and dresses. I love the idea of dresses and I even have one in my fall capsule, but ask me when the last time I wore that dress? Before I even started this capsule. Oops!
Which is where our actual style comes in. This is typically the pieces and outfits that we reach for on a day to day basis. As a mom, I reach for comfort. As a pregnant mom, I reach for anything that is comfortable and no-fuss. These are my three fall uniforms that both make me feel great and save me from having to try on fifteen outfits before I leave the house (cause the struggle is real - especially when you're walking around with a bowling ball for a belly!)
Uniform One: Jeans + Tee + Sneakers + Light Sweater
Uniform Two: Long Top + Leggings + Sneakers

What are your go to fall outfits?

I love this! I feel like this exactly what I wore in the fall and winter when I was pregnant, right down to the black chelsea boots! Currently in storage for the next baby, unless we're still in Hawaii in which case, summer version?
