I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love being a mom but I hate always looking like a mom. If you are reading this post wearing sweats, please take no offense. I am writing this post in a running skirt (though I neglected to go on a morning run) and a grey t-shirt with my hair pulled back (my apologies for the hideous visual now stuck in your head).
Point being, sometimes we need to cut corners to appear stylish or put-together or even sane. Here is one of my favorite all-time style-me tricks: jackets. Add a jacket over your stained crisp white t-shirt and jeans and voila -- instant chic.
If you have time to pull on a pair of great boots in addition, people will undoubtedly start to talk.
I stumbled in to Old Navy the other day to pick up a fleece for My Shadow (they offer a surprising number of options for pooches) and was completely astounded to find an amazing display of up-to-date outerwear.
Honestly, it was like a mirage.
A gorgeous orange pea coat.
A toasty french roast double-breasted jacket.
A violet ruffle-collar swing coat.
A leather (not pleather) motor-cross jacket.
A fur-collared (yes, faux) trench.
A pop-of-unexpected-color twill trench!
And if all that weren't enough, a candy-apple red ruffle-front jacket!

See what I mean?! Instant chic.
Long, flowing, perfectly-styled waves optional!
So how's a girl to choose?
At these prices ($52 - $199), why choose!
