how to make your outfit pop :: review {#RealMomStyle}

I don’t know about you, but sometimes putting on an outfit just doesn’t feel right. It feels really blah and is in need of something else. Yet, sometimes the lack of time in your life doesn’t really give you an ability to venture out and seek what you really like! I have a fun solution and it centers around accessories, and fun ones at that! I love adding color to my outfits. It can easily change an outfit from bland, and just thrown together in a jiffy…to fun and chic. So, let’s look at what I started with. Fine, but nothing fabulous about it…

As Mom’s, we need to feel fabulous! It’s not a “I’m trying to impress the world” sort of fabulous. It’s an, “I need to feel good about myself so that I can take care of others” kind of fabulous.

Living in Michigan, boot season is about to take over my life. So, for now I am loving that I can wear pops of color with the Lamo moccasins I’m sharing with you today. I wasn’t sure I would like them upon seeing them online. Sizing can be an issue when shopping online. I typically wear either a 9.5 or a 10 in my shoes and I opted for the 10’s – they were just right! They have these moccasins in 7 different colors and they have an assortment of styles as well, including boots!

I am sharing with you simply one way I have turned my outfit around with the lamo moccasins. I have also worn these with capris and skinny jeans. I opted out of sharing the photo with the capris as we are going in to winter in many parts of the country. I wanted to focus on a way you could use the moccasins in your wardrobe right now!

I added a fun cardigan, because, cardigans. Gotta love them! I kept the same shirt, ditched the tennis shoes (because, hello mom shoes!) and replaced them with these fabulous green moccasins. To replace a pair of tennis shoes with something else, says a lot. Tennis shoes mean comfort and relaxed feeling. I believe I get teh same feeling with these moccasins. Woo Hoo – way cuter too!

I added the necklace from Charming Charlie that I picked up on one of my many adventures to that store and some fun hoops from Kohl’s.  A simple hoop would look great too with this outfit as there is already so much going on.

I want to mention, they also have a men’s line and a kid’s line too through Lamo Footwear.

I would love to know your thoughts. What do you think of this outfit? Would you do this?
