Stylist Tips for 5 Key Pieces for the "On the Go" Mom

June 5, 2013 By Katie Rushton 6 Comments

I work with a lot of stay-at-home mom’s and a lot of moms that are busy professionals, so I thought I would put together a blog post for the on the go mom. Below I’ve used a pencil skirt, a simple tee/tank, a chambray shirt, a good tote and a flat shoe to pull together a couple of easy (and stylish) look. These five pieces alone are great pieces that you should have in your closet.

Stylist Tips for the  “On the Go” Mom

1) The Pencil Skirt – Pencil skirts are a great transitional piece to have in your closet. They can go from business to casual so easily! If you are a working mom, you can pair with a blazer and heels for work, and then switch into flats and a chambray shirt or denim jacket to transition your pencil skirt from business to casual.
2) Simple Tee/Tank – A few of these in neutrals (white, gray, black, tan) and in a few of your favorite colors are always good to have in the closet.
3) The Chambray Shirt – The chambray shirt is one of my personal favorite pieces right now. I love to pair with skirts (like the below), but I also love to pair with my white jeans or colored jeans.
4) Tote Bag – A good sized tote bag can serve multiple purposes. Handbag. Briefcase. Laptop holder. Diaper Bag….
5) Flat Shoe – Designers are making so many flat shoes that are both comfortable and cute these days! Win. Win. Feet feel good. Outfit looks great!

    I love this post! I love that you’ve made it so simple. And I love flats. As a busy mom, I have a hard time wearing heels even once a week to church! 🙂

    Thanks!

      Thanks Mary! And I’m with you on the flats. They are my go to shoe, especially since I”m on my feet all of the time. Comfort is so important! 🙂

.
We haven’t had the chance to share a lot about our quick trip to Chicago early last month! When I say quick, I mean QUICK! We flew in on a Wednesday afternoon, dropped our bags, changed clothes and grabbed a wonderful dinner in the city! 
.
On Thursday, it was full on Anniversary Sale! We started the morning in the shoe department and spent quite a bit of time there. Then we made a quick stop in the beauty department for some personal pick-ups before we took a much needed lunch break! After that it was back to business, and we spent several hours working our way through all of the fabulous NSale finds in both the women’s and men’s departments! 
.
@kprestonstyle had to fly back home Thursday evening, but SEB and I had one more full day to do some shopping and exploring for clients. We loved popping in Bloomingdale’s and Saks and some other stores that we don’t have here in Nashville. We do a lot of ordering for our clients, so it’s super important to us that we stay on top of what brands other stores are carrying and where we can find the best pieces for our clients! 
.
Until next year Chicago! 💗

✨STYLING SESSION DAY✨ . Hey! Hey! It’s a Sty ✨STYLING SESSION DAY✨
.
Hey! Hey! It’s a Styling Session kind of week over here at ES, so we thought we’d share a little #behindthescenes of a recent Styling Session that Katie R did for a client!
.
A Styling Session is designed to help our clients maximize the clothes they have in their closet. It works a little something like….
.
1) We chat with our client and pull some pieces that they’d really like to work with/wear more often and wear differently. 
.
2) We then start pulling pieces to work with, shoes, accessories, etc from their closet. 
.
3) We lay out looks and take pictures of each look so that our client has lots of fun options to work with!
.
4) We edit and upload those looks to our Effortless Style app, so our client has access to their looks every single morning when they are getting dressed!
.
Reach out today if our stylists’ can help put some looks together for your late summer/transitioning to fall wardrobe or for an upcoming vacation/work trip or for any other occasion you may have coming up!
