How to Make a Winter Capsule Wardrobe for the Stay-at-Home Mom

How to Make a Winter Capsule Wardrobe for the Stay-at-Home Mom

in Mom Life OOTD Wise Mother Haggard on Share

Imagine this scenario:

It’s winter.

It’s cold. So very, very cold.

You and your small kids haven’t left the house in DAYS.

Your toddler keeps asking you to retell the story about the time you guys took a train to the toy store (which, by the way, has never happened), and your other child is eating Play-Doh.

It’s 4:30PM and you forgot to put dinner in the slow cooker, and so far today you’ve only consumed coffee and string cheese (okay, okay, and half a bag of Goldfish, WHATEVER).

You have approximately 600 loads of laundry to do, and your brain feels like it is actually buzzing with the amount of items on your to-do list. (One of these items is to give the dog a flea bath, so that buzzing may in fact be fleas. Not sure.)

THIS, my friends, is why you need a stay-at-home mom winter capsule wardrobe.

Because you’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about throwing together an outfit at 5:17AM when your toddler wakes you up asking for whipped cream.

Not sure what a capsule wardrobe is? No problem.

Capsule Wardrobe

That cute linen shirt that you bought three years ago and haven’t worn once because it’s Dry Clean Only?

Nope. Not in your capsule wardrobe.

Your trusty, really, really soft bathrobe that you like to wear around the house for the first eight hours of the day?

Yup. You bet your bippy that’s going in your capsule wardrobe.

Having a realistic stay-at-home mom winter capsule wardrobe will make getting dressed each morning a BREEZE.

Even if you haven’t slept in three years.

Welcome to OOTD with Mother Haggard!

Ahh, those lazy, hazy days of summer.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and your thighs are chafing because you thought it’d be fine to wear denim shorts on a ten minute walk to the grocery store. (…It’s never fine.)

This OOTD is perfect for drinking lemonade by the pool, or for waking up every day at 5:30AM with a toddler towering over you saying, “Playground? Playground? Go? Now?”

OOTD: Grocery Getaway

in OOTD on Share

Welcome to OOTD with Mother Haggard!

This week’s OOTD is for that rarest of rare occasions: a trip to the grocery store BY YOURSELF.

No teething toddler, no stroller, no diaper bag, no partner gently reminding you that you already have a cake at home so maybe you don’t need to buy another cake, and no concerned looks from customers because you just sang every single verse of the Wheels on the Bus full bore without even realizing it.

Just a long, luxurious, sexy stroll through those beautiful, peaceful grocery store aisles.

This is a special day, folks, and our OOTD is going to reflect that.

OOTD: Pets & Sweats

OOTD: Sweats & Pets

Welcome to OOTD with Mother Haggard!

In this week’s OOTD, we’re going GLAM.

Enough of the yoga pants, right?! No more huge, red sweatpants! No more bags of vomit-soaked clothes! Where’s the glitz? The razzle-dazzle? COME ON!

No. Good lord, no. I’m just kidding.

Today we’re taking the dog for a walk. In yoga pants.

This look is perfect for busy moms on the go, who also have an extremely stubborn dog who sits by the door waiting to go outside three to six times a day but when you take her outside, she prefers to eat garbage and then sit in one spot and not move, even when a homeless man who is screaming that the trees are on fire is fast approaching you.

This is a great look for that.
