School drop-off Mums & their outfits
I'm new to this as DS1 just started preschool in July. I've been taking mental notes and it seems like the Mums fall into 2 categories. This is at 8.30 in the morning, btw.
1. Expensive workout clothes with full makeup & hair (whether they are going to the gym afterwards remains unclear)
2. Skinny jeans, ballet flats, loose tops + scarves, designer sunglasses
My BFF & I try to look decent.. she has a baby also so sometimes we rock up with spit-up & baby in pajamas on hip.
End of randoms!:)
ETA: and here is a pic of DS1 in his new summer uniform starting Sept 1st
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

Re: School drop-off Mums & their outfits
Yeah. I'm not always able to shower beforehand so then I go in workout gear as a cover & pretend like I'm about to go workout;)
Such a cute photo.
I live basically on the grounds of an elementary school and now that I work from home I have observed this crowd. It seems to exist on both hemispheres. Maybe when both girls are in grade school I will appear to have it together? Although I've never enjoyed scarfs. Hmmm
I try to wear scarves but I always end up feeling like I'm being strangled. Or perhaps it's DS2 pulling on it..?
......running and hiding, now. I am not pretentious, I swear, I am just one of those people that feels more comfortable dressed up a little, hair/make up one, etc. I don't wear heels, though!
It's ok, don't be embarrassed:) You should be proud for getting it together at 7.55!! I am impressed.
I picked up my middle school sister in ghetto gym clothes this week, she was horrified... Wish I looked cute/ put together in gym clothes! I was just glad to make on time between breastfeeding and potty training I am never on time!
They aren't going to the gym.
Also, the picture is soooooo adorable and the uniform is cute as hell.
As a former elementary school teacher---that sounds about right. Although at my last school, there was a third group---tapered high-waisted mom jeans, white Reeboks/Keds, and a solid color knit top
My daycare drop off clothes are the clothes I wear to grad school. I try to dress decent so I don't look like an undergrad, lol. So it's usually jeans and some sort of striped top from anthro or J.Crew (being real: I seem to only wear stripes, not sure why), and ballet flats. But every day that I don't have school, I wear yoga pants and solid v-neck teeshirts.
It seems the summer must-have for all the moms in my area is those dang Nike running shorts. Funnily enough, all the undergrads wear them too. Undergrad uniform seems to be: sorority or college shirt, Nike shorts, Chaco sandals, Kavu backpack.

Interesting. I am off to google these Nike running shorts. I can't picture them.
Oh and I also wear a lot of stripes! It's a problem. We can start a club. DH makes fun of me whenever I come back from buying something, Oh, you got more stripes! what a surprise.

I always WISH I was in one of those categories, ever (don't do school drop off, but still!). I am not the right kind of girl to pull of the scarf look. I wish I was.
The gym clothes - I have nice ones. However they still don't fit. You don't look "put together" in lumpy gym clothes. You look like you NEED to go to the gym (which I do).
And looks like your DS wears stripes too:) dressed by mum! Everyone in our house wears stripes because I do the clothes shopping. We are a very stripey family. Is there a 12-step program for all of us stripe addicts?
I don't do school drop offs since I only have one baby but I already know I will be the bedraggled lady with a messy ponytail and non cool sweatpants when it does happen. I do manage to look half decent for work but it's because I have to. In general I'm quite a slob
Ive always been envious of those women who always look so put together no matter what the time of day/occasion ... People who "accessorize". I don't own any accessories lol
