High Heels and Training Wheels: A Vision in Grey

A Vision in Grey

I don't know where this look even came from. I didn't see it anywhere, no "pinspiration" of any kind to guide me. Though I'm sure I'm not the first to go all grey....and I don't just mean my hair! Ba Dum Pssh! Thems jokes people! But I unearthed this sweater from the bottom of my winter box and decided to give it a whirl and these jeans are my clear favorite....and let's be honest, they were the only pair that were clean. And so, coupled together, my vision of grey was created.

Sweater- Goodwill // Button Up- Old Navy // Jeans- Old Navy // Heels c/o Payless // Bag- Kohls // Glasses c/o Firmoo // Necklace c/o Oasap //

I feel like this look is very "mom on the go" or "PTO meeting". In fact, I wore this on a field trip to the history museum. Cliche much? But even though I am a mom, I don't want to dress like one; that's what I'm trying to stay away from. But I don't want that sad look of trying to appear younger than I am either. You've seen both ends of the spectrum; you know what I'm talking about. It's a delicate balance, really. I've struggled with it ever since I brought home my oldest son. I had made this huge change and I was someone's mom now, but I was still only 20. The look of a mom and the look of a 20 year old are very different things. I had this idea in my head that I need to look "responsible" and "mature" but at the same time, I don't want to look old. You know what mom jeans are! There is a middle ground, you just have to find it. And even though I am most definitely not 20 anymore, it's still a balancing act. Honestly, it's probably just an imaginary line I drew in my own head, but nevertheless, I still try to walk that fine line. But I ain't mad at it. This was cozy and comfortable. Even the heels!
