The next time you go shoe-shopping, forget the slip-ons, you must have enough of those. Try some ankle boots, high boots, sneakers, and ballet flats.

Layers
A layered outfit gives you comfort while accentuating your new mom-curves. It gives you comfort while still being chic. Aim to keep the layers thin, you don’t want to look bulky. For instance, a lacy top peaking out of your jeans outfit would look awesome.
Tunics

Tunics are loose fitting long tops that are a must-have for every mom. You can have them in a variety of styles and colors. Wear them over skinny jeans or Ponte pants and you are good to go. The best part is that they are stylish, comfortable and can be worn to any occasion; a baby shower, to the park, or lunch with the family. Adding a belt can give you a more fitted look
Ponte pants
You can call these an improved version of yoga pants. They are thick and stretchy. They give you a slimmer look and are the perfect pants for moms. If you are already working out, the material is tightly knit so that they still fit perfectly even after losing weight. Pick a dark color and have them in a variety of styles.
Shirt-dresses
This is the perfect attire for moms. They are stylish, comfortable, and come in a variety of styles. If you are a nursing mom, you can get one in a button-down. For an extra comfy outfit, get a t-shirt dress, or a collared dress for a chic look. Wear it with dark leggings and add some accessories.
Accessories
You can never go wrong with adding a few accessories to an outfit. It brightens up a rather boring outfit.
Scarves – If your child is always pulling your necklace, use a scarf instead, play around with different colors that match the color scheme of your outfit.
Jewelry – A classy pair of earrings and some bracelets can upgrade your look in a few seconds.
Stylish belt – A nice belt can give the impression of a well-defined waistline.
Bags – Get a stylish bag. Gone are the days when you could just walk around with a wallet. As a mom, you have to carry around diapers, a change of clothes for your baby and your own necessities. But this does not mean you have to walk around with an oversized bag with cartoon pictures all over. Get a nice bag in modern style and bold colors. No one has to know it carries diapers.
Being a mom does not mean you have to neglect yourself and focus solely on your kids. You have to take care of yourself as well.
Invest in a few dresses, denim jeans and shirts, Ponte pants, tunics, and shirt-dresses. Get some trendy cardigans, sweaters, and sweatpants. Complete your wardrobe with a few comfortable heels and boots. Always accessorize your look to give it the extra oomph.
Finally get a nice haircut that’s easy to maintain and one that brings out your best features. Experiment with different colors and keep it interesting. Wear some makeup, whether you are indoors or out, always look your best.
Be the hot stylish mom who is not afraid to turn a few heads.
