I’ll have you know, that every outfit you see on this here blog is an outfit I’ve worn in real life. Or, you know, an outfit that I wear.
I don’t know if I’m making sense. Let me try this again.
What I’m trying to say is, I don’t style outfits and put them on the blog just for bits and giggles. I put outfits together that are realistic and geared towards the average woman who’s just trying to get dressed in the morning and feel good about the way she looks.
But, I will admit, that there are some outfits that I wear more than others. Some outfits I’ll put together and wear it for a special occasion, or to try out a trend, or to see if I can pull it off. You know?
But, then there are those outfits that I find myself wearing over and over and over again. For one reason or another, they become my FAVORITE outfits.
This outfit? It’s simple. It’s casual. It’s one of my favorites. I wear it all the time.
This is one of those outfits that’s my uniform for running errands, hanging out on the weekends, etc.
**For you nursing moms, a loose, comfy, and lightweight sweater over the top of your nursing tank makes for easy access!
Oh, and yes, the Diet Coke is totally part of the outfit. It’s my fuel. 🙂 And the diaper bag? Well, that’s with me all the time, too.
And y’all know no Molly outfit is complete without a sassy scarf.
And for those of you that are concerned – don’t worry, I limit my caffeine intake since I’m breastfeeding – in fact, I drink way more water than anything else. 🙂
What about you? What kinds of outfits do you see yourself going for over and over and over again?
Linked up with Shanna and The Pleated Poppy.
my over & over outfit is skinny jeans + a button down & ballet flats. And yes those J.Crew Factory Tippi sweaters are on heavy rotation too!
Loving that your diaper bag is actually cute enough to be a purse… you cute mamma fashionistsa!

Here&Now
Molly, this is so cute! You love lovely in yellow, and those jeans look amazing on you. I also have some outfits that I love to wear and re-wear over and over: jeans, an untucked button up with a scarf or pretty necklace, and flats or TOMS. Easy, comfortable, and presentable – that’s what I usually aim for!
Love your outfit, you look great!
I love this outfit and your photos are so fun! And I am the same way, I would never just style an outfit for a shoot. Some outfits or at least pieces may be on repeat in my photos, but it’s all stuff I wear! I think it’s important for us to showcase clothes we actually wear on a regular basis!
Haha you and your diet coke! Love this bright yellow sweater on you. Right now I’m all about the leggings and oversized sweaters. Everything else is just semi uncomfortable to me!

I love your Kate Spade bag! #stylishmommy on board!

I usually fall back on some dark denim with a nice top and some flats. Typical Marissa uniform 🙂

Even though I love dressing up, these are my favorite kind of looks. So cute and comfy but still special.

it is!! i got it on SUPPPPPPER sale last year!!
Yellow is such a pretty color on you, Molly! And if I had to guess, you’re the COOLEST Mom out there with that bag–love it!
that color is perfect on you! and you look so good! i am having diaper bag envy – looks like a purse and i love it and want it!
I LOVE yellow! It is such a happy color!!!! I find sweater dresses, tights and boots are my fall/winter outfit of choice. Maxi shirts are my summer outfit! 🙂 Also my outfits are not complete w/o a Dt. Mt. Dew or a coffee of some sort. I am hooked on Starbucks but have to limit those because of cost and calories!!!!! I make iced coffee at home to take, summer and winter. Yum!!!!!! I am a caffeine addict if you can’t tell, but I don’t have to breastfeed…….
hahaha love it! 🙂
I LOVE this bright yellow sweater on you! And your scarf collection is out of this world!
This is such a happy outfit! I tend to wear leggings and a long sweater if I’m home and put on jeans when I’m going out and about. V-neck tees over a nursing tank have been my bff since M was born!
1. you look amazing!
2. I love that you post outfits that we can actually wear and not tutus and heels everyday.
3. i’m inspired. mommying, wifing, working, blogging, I need your time managing lessons
p.s. I LOVE your blog, I get way too excited when I see a new blog post
awww thank you SO MUCH, whitney!! you are awesome. so awesome!
well ive noticed my new favorite formula is a pair of distressed denim, or more feminine top and fierce flats! I absolutely love these pictures of you, they are so happy and joyous, just like you. Can’t wait for another meet up :))))
brooke @ tigers dont lose sleep

Yellow is your color.
Cute, cute, cute! I need more scarves in my life!
I’m a guy. I put Zero thought into what I wear. My usual attire is Jeans and a T – Shirt. I have a whole closet full of geeky T – Shirts that I just pull out and throw on, depending on my mood that day. The most forethought it gets is to make sure that the T – Shirt fits the company I will be in on a given day. Before I ran out of money for graduate school, I wore collared shirts and khakis on class days, and even then, it was only a matter of pulling out the appropriate items from the closet the day before and making sure they are clean and ready to go. Should I ever get a real job, I imagine I will assemble a simple, classic set of suits that I will rotate through. That’s the thing about male fashion – even at the high end, it hasn’t effectively changed in over a hundred years.
Where I deviate from the male norm is where it comes to my favorite piece of clothing, the one I would wear every single day if the weather and society would allow – the UtiliKilt. The American Improvement on the Scottish Original, made of canvas instead of the traditional itchy wool that makes my skin crawl, with its pleats sewn right into the beltline and a pair of pockets flopping loosely at its sides, the Utilikilt is a recipe for instant badass. It takes a certain amount of swagger to successfully rock the Utilikilt, and a certain nonchalance about gender norms and what other people think, but it always stands out in a crowd, and usually for the better. Kristi absolutely loves it when I get checked out wearing it, and she can’t wait for this weekend, when I become her geeky arm candy, because at Con, striding proudly in my kilt, I am an Alpha Male among the Geek Tribe, and everyone knows it. It’s the image on my business cards, on my Facebook Profile, and in my own self image. It is a part of my identity now, and someday I will have the money to have a whole closet full of them.
this is reason #139010472057 why you are awesome, jim!!
love this outfit. I find that the most important aspect of an outfit HAS to be comfort…If you can carry a baby and wear high heels, kudos, but I just can’t do it. BTW…you are glowing…your skin looks amazing.
Girl, you look AMAZING post baby! And your diaper bag is so cute.
