Homeaker's Uniform: How to Add Casual Accessories

Dearest Empress,

For one who spends the majority of her days defending one's home from dirt and grime from within and without (namely, a homemaker) what should the uniform be?

Like you, I have 2 littles and from morning until dinner, we are typically home. I don't want to dress up -- I have thrown out countless shirts in the last month due to stains (grease, baby fingers, etc.) in an attempt not to hoard, and yet, loathe falling into the frumpy mom category.

Help!
Annie


Dear Annie,
Your question could not be more auspicious.  Please allow me to answer thoroughly in three dainty discourses.  Today: accessories. These add-ons wear at a leisurely languid pace unlike their more fragile body covering cousins.  

Denim bermudas and a t-shirt make a loveless marriage, but add a headscarf and earrings and heartbeats will race.  The same goes for hats, necklaces, colorful flats, and bracelets.

One of the ways I'm simplifying prep without sacrificing polish, is Crest Whitestrips.  Whitening is quicker and easier than ever with Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips ($54.99, 4 whitening strips).  Just ONE two-hour treatment will give you a sparkling white smile that will last for up to three months!

And to make sure your smile stays shiny between whitening treatments, all you have to do is brush twice a day with the new Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid Enamel Renewal Toothpaste (4.1 oz $4.25), which removes up to 90% of surface stains in just 14 days.

  2. I love this post because I'm constantly trying to look my best while running a household of six. My teenager comments about why I bother to try to look nice when all I'm doing is cleaning but it helps me feel better. Love your outfit. You look really fabulous.
