We'll start with the most basic of my momiforms - jeans and a t-shirt. I wore this while I was distributing magazines on a rainy day. Even though this outfit is simple, you can still pinpoint my personal style in the details. Instead of a plain, boring t-shirt, I picked a band tee (hint: I only wear bands I actually enjoy), and instead of the typical skinny jean, I picked a looser pair that has some distressing. You'll also notice that I rolled the bottoms, which is pretty much my go-to for every pair of jeans I wear. My sneakers, while offering practicality on a day where I did a lot of moving, are a nod at a more recent style choice.

I like to call this my elevated momiform. It stays true to a casual pair of jeans, this time in a non-distressed boyfriend style, but instead of a basic t-shirt I'm wearing a blouse, and I stepped up my shoe game (get it?) with a pair of wedges. I wore this for Alexis's birthday party, and trips to two stores beforehand.

Skinny jeans have been on a downward trend lately, both in my closet and in real life. I tend to reach for my boyfriend jeans most days. I like this straight style. They're more forgiving than my skinnies and way easier to move around in, plus I have an easier time pairing them with different shoes.

Back to the basic jeans and a t-shirt combo, but see how this outfit looks more polished? The changes are subtle but they make a big difference. A belt almost always makes an outfit seem more intentional, even if you don't do a full tuck. And my slides feel more put together than sneakers, like they're on another level even though they're really just as casual. This was another 'magazine distribution' outfit, by the way.

Oh, maxi dresses, how I love you. They are the epitome of the 'throw on and go' outfit, which is what makes them so great. You don't have to put much thought into your outfit with a maxi dress, but a maxi dress by itself often feels like just a dress, whereas when you add a few extra elements it feels like an outfit.

Step one: add a belt. It instantly adds structure to the dress without taking away from its awesomeness. Honestly, if this is the only step you follow, that's okay!

Step two: add a finishing piece, like my vest (or if it's still cold where you are, a jacket or sweater). This is totally optional. You can also play around with scarfs or handkerchiefs.

Step three: put a little effort into your shoe choice. Sure, a pair of slides would work here, but the wedges are the perfect punctuation point for the rest of the outfit, don't you think?
