This post hit the sweet spot between practical and chic—the holy grail of mom fashion. I love that every pick acknowledges how real life actually works (snacks, spills, sprints). The way you write about motherhood and clothes always makes it feel like we can still care about what we wear without pretending life is tidy. Also, now I’m convinced I need something with oil cloth and too many pockets.

The dinosaur in pocket is a vastly underrated secret accessory 😂

Thank you for this! I wore a lot of open coats during pregnancy and was miserable - I love these options.
