10 Outfits that Will Take You Out of the Mom Fashion Rut
The following post contains affiliate links
When I was younger, I loved dressing up. I liked shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories. Sometimes I would buy every week. Then I became a mom and all of this stopped. I didn't turn "losyang" but I also didn't find dressing up to be exciting anymore. I would make an effort every now and then but sometimes I miss going out in heels or wearing a chunky necklace. These are things that I rarely do now because I have to be practical. How the heck can I run after my hyperactive 4-year old in heels? I don't have a yaya so I do all the running. So, my wardrobe had to evolve around flats and sandals.. sometimes the occasional wedge shoes get mixed in when my husband comes with us (he's the one who does all the running).
So, I've been browsing online clothes shops and of course, I had to visit Zalora. Zalora has been my favorite over the years especially when I had just given birth. I didn't leave the house for 6 months (babies' immune systems don't fully develop until 17 weeks, I wanted to make sure he was strong enough to go out) so all shopping must be done online. Zalora has been a blessing.
My little boy is napping as I type this so I found some Me Time. Here are some clothes that I like. I'm a petite woman and my priority is comfort and something I can run around in. All the clothes are under P1200 because I know moms need to be fashionable within budget. I also added the details for easy perusal. I mostly do my browsing on my phone so here's a link to the Zalora App to make shopping fast and easy.

This basic tee dress is great for running errands and going to the mall with my kiddo. I can wear this with sneakers or fancy flats or jazz it up with some accessories.
I love chambray. I started wearing it when I was pregnant and I was smitten. I always have it in my wardrobe so this chambray shirt is a must. A shirt and my cropped leggings are slowly becoming my mom uniform.
I like this shirt because of its versatility. I can wear it with pants or skirts. I love how relaxed it looks.
I can probably wear this dress when I'm out on a date with my husband. I don't think I'll be comfortable running around in it but I love it!
This one also has a relaxed vibe and like the tee dress, I can wear this for mall runs.
Are you sensing a pattern here? I love these kinds of dresses because they require minimal effort. On days when I don't want to fuss, I can wear them as is. When I want to add more glam, I simply add on accessories or wear a pretty purse like in the photo. I can also wear it with different kinds of shoes - flats, sandals, sneakers or wedges.
Here's a dress that I can wear to church. I know it looks short on the model but I'm petite so this will be the right length for me. I am loving those sleeves.
I've never worn skinny jeans. I just feel like they don't look good on me. I also don't like the fact that they are mostly low rise. I'm hoping this high rise pair will do the trick.
Love. this. dress. What else can I say about it?
Another one of my mom uniforms is a shirt and skirt combo. I'll wear this skirt to church with a plain top embellished with a statement necklace. Since my husband will be present, I can wear my heels with this!
