Workin’ It with WAHMs.

Monday, October 27th, 2008 | Uncategorized

I received an email this week from a reader, Kristin, who is about to transition from working in an office to working at home.  She is also a mom working with a budget.  Kristin doesn’t want to lose her style while staying at home.  So what are some pieces than can help our WAHM stay stylish?

Admittedly, this is not my area of expertise.  I am not-mom working outside the home.  However, I do work in a VERY casual office, so I would imagine that many of the pieces that will work for me will also work for Kristin.  So this week, I’ll be sharing more casual, budget friendly items that are machine washable.

I would imagine a lot of WAHMs spend a good amount of time in tees.  And why not?  They are affordable, washable, kid-friendly and comfortable.  But just because you are wearing a t-shirt doesn’t mean it can’t be a stylish one.

This top from New York and Company gets all of the above done.  More than just a basic crewneck tee, the pleats at the top add a little something stylish.  I also really like the elastic cuff sleeves. I have a similar top from J. Crew last season and it has become one my favorites.  And bonus!  This top is currently Buy One Get One 1/2 Off!  At $26.95 each, you can get two of these tops for around $40.

City Style Pleated Yoke Top at New York and Company, $26.95.  Available in sizes XS-XL, in blue, black or white.
