WHAT TO WEAR ON YOUR MOM’S NIGHT OUT
If done right a night out can be an opportunity for you to regain your mojo and reconnect with your friends and yourself.
When you’re bogged down with diaper duty, or balancing the stresses of work and family, a night out can be a godsend. Especially if you are a stay-at-home mom and you don’t otherwise get a lot of social interaction outside of the mommy world. This can be an important exercise in reasserting your personality. So, don’t let the opportunity to have some fun pass you buy. If you can, buy something new to wear- something that you wouldn’t wear if you had the kids with you.
THE OUTFIT
For a night out on the town with girlfriends, anything goes. Get as dressed up as you want but be sure to choose something you feel good in. If you live in jeans perhaps find an embellished top to elevate your denim. A dress is also a good option, especially if you are normally confined to a practical outfit during the day, it may be the only time you can wear your beloved frocks. If you’re especially adventurous in the fashion stakes perhaps a wide-leg jumpsuit would work for you to get drinks with the girls. Play up your favorite features and have fun with it.
THE SHOES
If you’re going to be bar hopping, it may be a better idea to stick to stylish, but comfortable footwear like flats or ankle boots. If this is strictly a sit-down dinner affair and one taxi ride to another, feel free to wear your sky-high stilettos or as well call them ‘dinner shoes’ (because all you can do in them is sit down to eat dinner). Make sure you also break-in your shoes at least a week before if they are new. Walking around the house in thick socks while wearing them can often do the trick.
THE ACCESSORIES and OUTERWEAR
Remember that your handbag and outerwear are also a prominent part of your outfit. It would be a shame to have spent countless hours choosing a dress to wear and then realize the cold temperatures mean you have to throw on the only jacket you own which is a sporty parka. So, while you’re choosing your outfit be sure to include a cover-up or coat option that looks just as good. The same care should be considered with your purse for the evening. Leave the everyday bag at home and opt for something smaller that fits the basics like your phone, wallet, and lipstick.
Finally and most importantly —> If all else fails, do what is comfortable and just enjoy a night out with the girls. You deserve it!!!
