It is still FREEZING in New York City. And while some women might relish this opportunity to layer up in these frigid temps, if you are petite like me the last thing you want to do is pile on five layers of clothing– which makes you look amorphous and disguise your body shape. So how can us moms look sleek in chilly weather?! It’s all about making sure you have the right wardrobe staples and Must Have Fashion Essentials for Moms!
I’ve got the jeans and boots thing DOWN and while I love comfy sweaters they must always be paired with skinny jeans so that they don’t leave leave you looking like a potato sack. So what’s a petite girl to do during the winter when she wants to stay WARM, but still fashion forward, fabulous and sleek looking with clothing that will SHOW off her shape and not mask it under bulky layers of clothing?Read my Must Have Fashion Essentials for Moms Find pieces that will accentuate and not eliminate and get the details on how you can win a $75 PAYPAL giveaway to shop for some must have fashion essentials for yourself!
#1 Pair a sweater with SKINNY jeans.
And pair it with rag & bone Skinny Jeans

I follow you on Instagram (from @EstelleSErasmus). I love the lipstick you are wearing. Is that a Tom Ford lipstick? It looks similar to the one in the photo of you.
Great picks and great giveaway. I think every woman needs a nice, red lipstick in her beauty arsenal. It’s great for a night out, or when you need to get down to some serious business. Red is power!

I think every woman should have a pair of red boots! Yours are simply adorable! Love the lip color too ♥
I love dressing up especially now that I’m more confident about myself and my style. I think these are perfect must haves! I love the thermal tee, the jeans, and the lipstick the most!

That slouchy thermal tee and the Tom Ford lip is amazing. When I become a mom one day I will definitely stay stylish!
These are great styles for sure, I’m loving those jeans! You have an awesome sense of style too. I love that coat too!
I admire women who can confidently wear red lipstick! You look fantastic in that lip color and in those red boots! I must learn to be more confident and wear bolder lipstick shades.
Oh these are great choices. Great blogs. My mom would be delighted to have that lipstick.
