Mom Style: Editor's Picks

September 04, 2024 ยท by Andrea Long

Fall is upon us, and even if you are not quite feeling the glorious weather shift where you live, the change of seasons is evident in every store window, online aesthetic and cozy coffee shop. I love all things autumn - cozy days by the fire, crisp mornings, fall decor, and fall fashion. As a busy mom of two boys, I'm all about comfy and cozy 'fits most days of the week. Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite fall outfits for busy moms and how I would style these pieces. Each outfit that I share, I actually have in my closet currently. Enjoy!

1. Casual Chic

The Everyday Elegance dress has become one of my all-time favorite dresses. I have this cute, striped midi dress in both colors and wear them at least once a week. The shape is a little more fitted but not tight. I am 5'5" and wear a small or medium in Dainty Jewells, and I wear a medium in this dress. Typically, I will throw on some brown slides or fashion sneakers with this dress. I can't wait for some cooler weather to pair this dress with tights, ankle boots, and a hat. I may add a chunky sweater for extra warmth during the colder season. 

2. Casual to Dressy Style

The Postcard from Paris dress is a a fun fall floral and comes in 3 autumn colors - olive, mustard, and burgundy. I have this dress in mustard and love it! I sized down to a small. I love the drawstring waist and full sleeves. This dress is so fun because I can dress down with flats during the day and switch to some cute block heel mules for church. 

3. Preppy Casual

I just recently got the Made for More dress, and I adore it! The neckline is a slightly square, modest style, and the A-line fit is so flattering. The best part? It has pockets! So nice for moms of boys! I paired this dress recently with a lightweight, cream sweater for a cozy fall look. I plan on throwing a patterned or coordinating colored sweater over my shoulders to tie for a preppy look. Sandals are great for those early, still warm fall days, but boots are definitely coming out later in the season! I wear a small in this dress - a little more fitted for layering purposes. 

4. Modest Sporty Style

The Wishful Weekend dress has been a favorite of mine for a while now. I have it in black, and it's so easy to throw on and go - no layering required! The knit is slightly warm, so I love the cozy feel. I wear a small in this dress. The dolman sleeves are loose and oversized, but the drawstring waist pulls in for a flattering silhouette. I pair this dress with some gold Cole Haan sneakers for a sporty look. 

5. Modest Athleisure Style

This striped maxi dress - the Saturday Morning Splendor dress - releases this week, and I couldn't be more excited! I love this elegant, cozy style and will definitely be in line to purchase this beauty. This dress is giving all the athleisure vibes, and I plan to wear it with slides for a simple look. I envision wearing this on vacation and snuggling up by the fire with a hot cup of coffee. It's a modest loungewear dream!

These casual pieces are some of my top picks for the upcoming season for any lady. For busy moms, these styles will take you from school drop-off to errand running to work meetings to dinner to church. Be sure to shop these comfortable modest dresses available now or in our Autumn release coming tomorrow at 9 PM EST!
