Becoming a mum could be described as the biggest journey any woman can take in life but while having children is a wonderful thing, it is also a full time job. Whether its breastfeeding and changing nappies, giving lifts to and from swimming clubs or ferrying teenagers to their first parties, being a mum can be hard work! This means that many busy mothers often let their own interests and hobbies slide in favour of their children’s.
Life changes when you become a Mother but that doesn’t mean your sense of style has to go! These tips will show you how to keep yourself feeling and looking good without impacting your ‘SuperMum’ responsibilities.
Dress modestly
Being a busy mum means lots of running around after toddlers and picking up stray toys, which can be a nightmare with a low cut top or short skirt! Make sure your outfit allows you to bend in whichever way possible without exposing anything you don’t want to be seen! Modest does not have to mean boring and a more discreet neckline can often create a much more sophisticated look.
Understanding your changing body
Becoming a mum can change the way we feel, and it can also change the way our bodies look. Make sure you identify the shape you are right now instead of the shape you once were and dress accordingly.

Don’t be afraid to get extra help
Control underwear used to be somewhat of a novel idea but now even the most body confident and toned women have profited from its mystical powers. Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce have been spotted with a little extra underwear help, so why shouldn’t you? Wearing underwear to pull you in can give you the confidence to wear a beautiful evening dress with poise.
Dress for your age
One mistake many of us make is thinking that by dressing younger, we look younger. In fact, the opposite is true! Dressing for your age but remaining stylish will make you appear classy and sophisticated instead of a little silly.
