Mum Mode: Band Tees in Black

Posted on by Chloe Happ

I own a large number of black t-shirts with the logo of different bands (mostly rock bands I grew up with). They’re comfy and comforting. There’s a lot of nostalgia that comes along with that.

On the day I wore this, Tom dressed Alastair in a Metallica sweatshirt and Levi’s for school. Enter Sandman is my hearing-impaired 7 year-old’s favourite song at the moment. He loves all iterations – the actual song, the music video, YouTube covers by little kids etc. I would love to know what the synthesized version of this song sounds through his cochlear implant because he doesn’t hear like we do.

So band t-shirts and jeans is an ongoing mother and son sartorial choice. In my opinion, it’s like our uniform!

I love my Rebecca Minkoff fluffy brown jacket with the asymmetrical zipper here. You could do the entire rocker ensemble with a moto jacket of some kind but it’s a cold day. 5degC! Soft and fluffy is the way to go – especially when you’re leaving the for school at 7:15am…

Mum Mode: Boots season is almost over in SoCal

Posted on by Chloe Happ

I take my boots out of storage in early November and they go back in the closet at the end of February. It gets a little too hot here otherwise and I don’t want to sweat up a stink.

I wear my regular Harley Davidson lug boots most often but these knee highs only when I’m in skirts or dresses. How many pairs of boots do you own and what kind of climate do you live in?

Also, LOOK AT THAT! It’s the same H&M top from the previous post! Told you I love it with everything, told you!

Mum Mode: Wardrobe Staples

Posted on by Chloe Happ

I’m loving this new H&M striped jersey top that I got recently. Literally wearing it a lot because it’s so versatile! So soft, so stretchy and so affordable! I recommend it to anyone who asks! I mean USD12.99, come on!

Also, these are my reading glasses. Completely useless for anything else and I get a headache when I try to walk around in them. I spend half the time peering out of the top when I’m wearing them. I also have a pair of driving glasses for long distance. I like them enough but I’m getting bifocals next. 2 pairs of glasses are just one too many.

Mum Mode: Mum Jeans yet again

Posted on by Chloe Happ

I have been obsessed with Farm Rio and this is one of my latest purchases. Great with my Mum Jeans and look at my banana earrings that go with my banana-print top! LOOK AT THAT!

And these strappy Timberland heels are so comfortable! Tom’s a whole foot taller than I am so sometimes it’s fun to just narrow that gap. Mostly though, I wear cute but practical shoes that will allow me to care for Alastair appropriately.
