SAHM Fashion Trends

Spring is almost here, and if you're like most SAHMs, that means you'll be changing out your fleece sweat suit and sneakers for some jersey capris, t-shirt and sandals.

Of course, you may want to embrace the 2011 Spring Hairdo Trend. Guess what? It's bangs and bobs. Again.
 Surprise.

Should I admit now that when I was browsing shoes on Piperlime at 6 am I actually keyed in the words Spring 2010 fashion.
 And yeah, we both know this is 2011.

So, if you rarely shower before noon, find yourself bra-less in a ball cap and yoga pants most days when the Fedex guy shows up, I'm doing you a favor.

What to wear when you finally get out of the house this Spring, so you won't look like a total hermit or overworked Mommy who got her fashion tips from the Victoria's Secret Catalog.

• wide legged and bell bottomed jeans or trousers   (bye bye skinny jeans)
• lace, crochet, macrame accents ( not a bikini or a dress, please)
• floral and billowy tops  (this does not mean you can ditch the diet.)
• wedge shoes, booties     (walking downhill will never be the same)
• accessories that are textured: wooden, leather, neutrals
• denim, denim, denim  (finally, the 70's are back.)
• biker- inspired clothes and accessories  (aim for sleek leather and zippers, not rocker skank)
• maxi dress (sheer, is one way... but probably not for you.)
• capri pants (stop cheering. Yours are probably stained from jello shooters.)
• jumpsuit, not catsuit (yes, it will be a bitch to go pee.)
• stripes  ( maybe not horizontal. just sayin')
• crop tops and long tail hemlines ( if you're under 35)
• clogs ( 'nuf said.)
• kitten heels  (no animals were harmed in the naming of this shoe)
• cat eye sunglasses ( whew. I have the perfect pair in my glove box!)
• the belt purse  ( not a murse. not a fanny pack)

good luck SAHMs and happy dressing
