Organic Cotton Relaxed Oxford Shirt curated on LTK

On a crisp Friday morning in early January, she was the picture of casual sophistication as she dropped her son off at daycare and snagged her favorite seat at the co-working space. Skinny jeans with a raw hem gave just the right edge to her polished blue oxford shirt—a thoughtful Christmas pick from her husband—layered under a cozy white cardigan with gold buttons that sparkled like tiny little victories. Her gold hoops and matching necklace tied it all together, because even errands deserved a little sparkle. And errands were indeed the afternoon’s agenda: ticking off to-dos while breezing through the city, feeling like she was nailing this whole “new year, fresh start” thing, one stylish step at a time.

By Thursday, she had officially hit the just-get-through-it stage of ankle-brace life, sticking to the wide-legged jeans she'd been alternating all week and pairing them with a cozy navy-and-tan turtleneck that practically begged for no extra effort. Her gold hoops—always dependable, never judgmental—added just enough polish to keep her from feeling like she’d thrown in the towel completely. The outfit might have been basic, but her day was anything but: after a cheerful daycare drop-off, she found herself at her coworking space, buzzing with inspiration. Between brainstorming clever titles and outlining creative new blog posts, she remembered what it felt like to thrive—even if her wardrobe was in survival mode.

By Wednesday, she was clinging to her favorite tan-and-white striped shirt like a lifeline—a little sartorial sunshine to brighten a day that was veering off course. Her wide-legged jeans, accommodating the infamous ankle brace, paired effortlessly with her go-to gold hoops and necklace, whispering, you’ve got this. But the universe, armed with city construction, a snow-dusted parking drought, and the sheer chaos of toddler-wrangling, had other plans. Music class was a no-go; the thought of hobbling down slushy sidewalks on crutches while already running late was a romcom plotline she wasn’t ready to star in. Instead, she pivoted to a cozy stay-at-home day, determined to turn lemons into hot cocoa with marshmallows. And if her striped shirt could talk, it would agree: sometimes, the best music is toddler giggles echoing through your own living room.

By Tuesday, she was fully embracing her new role as the city mom version of a competitive sprinter—crutches in hand, toddler in motion. Her wide-legged jeans comfortably framed the ankle brace (because no one sacrifices style completely, even under duress), and her blue-and-white striped turtleneck peeked perfectly from under a cozy blue quarter-zip, the front pocket proving to be an MVP for stashing snacks, keys, and a toy car or two. Her go-to gold hoops added a touch of polish, a reminder that even while chasing after her little one, she wasn’t just surviving—she was thriving. Lesson of the day? Tops with tighter armholes are the unsung heroes of crutch efficiency, especially when your toddler decides to bolt mid-playdate. And yes, she caught him, looking effortlessly chic all the while.

Mondays are for fresh starts—or in her case, figuring out how to gracefully navigate the week with crutches and an ankle brace after an unfortunate Friday mishap. (Who knew missing a curb could lead to such drama?) She leaned into the challenge with wide-legged jeans that comfortably fit over her new “accessory” and a white long-sleeve tee layered under a bold red cardigan with gloriously oversized pockets for stashing everything she couldn’t carry. Her go-to gold hoops and necklace added a touch of normalcy to her ensemble, which she wore with the kind of flair that said, “Yes, I fell flat on my face, but I’m still fabulous.” Crutches? A minor inconvenience. She strutted (okay, hobbled) into daycare drop-off like a romcom heroine determined to conquer her week, one stylish step—or hop—at a time.

Ashley, the effortlessly cool stay-at-home mom, was kicking off the year with equal parts style and toddler-fueled chaos. Monday was a cozy day at home, where she and Miles built pillow forts, read their favorite books for the millionth time, and pretended the laundry didn’t exist. Tuesday brought a sparkling countdown to Noon Year’s Eve, where Miles clapped his way into 2025 with all the enthusiasm of someone who’d just discovered confetti. After a quiet Wednesday to regroup, Thursday and Friday morning were dedicated to daycare and coworking—Ashley powering through her blog posts like a boss. But by Friday afternoon, life took a turn with a little mishap that had her muttering, “Of course this would happen now.” But she’s saving that story for next week—because every good romcom needs a cliffhanger.

Wearing a light pink blouse and pleated periwinkle skirt while working on a rose gold laptop, pastel highlighters scattered across your desk, and Taylor Swift’s Lover album playing softly in the background could make you feel just like Rosie in Not in My Book by Katie Holt—ready to embrace the story only you can write.

Early January had her easing into the new year, balancing resolutions with reality. She stepped into the daycare/co-working space in olive stretch cotton twill pants—her husband’s thoughtful Christmas gift—that hit just above her new brown knee-high boots, a perfect pick from her mom. A matching tan shell and cardigan completed the look, polished but effortless, with her trusty gold hoops giving a familiar touch of glam. When her husband called the ensemble “a little bit western,” she grinned and countered, “but city western?”—as if she’d just coined a new fashion genre. Later, she swapped the boots for sneakers and the cardigan for a tank to sneak in a workout on her Peloton, already envisioning a year where sticking to routines could be just as stylish.

New Year’s Eve looked a little different these days—less champagne at midnight, more sippy cups at noon—but she was determined to show up in style for the Countdown to Noon Year’s Eve Baby Rave. Her metallic-coated cable knit sweater shimmered like disco ball lights, and her faux leather moto leggings struck the perfect balance of chic and functional for chasing her tiny dance partner. Black knee-high boots added a dash of edge, while new gold herringbone duster earrings brought all the sparkle she needed for the occasion, paired with her diamond tennis bracelet that caught the light every time she clapped along to the beats. As Miles spun and stomped to the kid-friendly techno under a shower of bubble machine confetti, she couldn’t help but think this was the most fun she’d ever had ringing in a new year—even if it was only noon.

The Monday after Christmas break hit like a snowball to the face—most kid-friendly spots were closed, her husband was glued to his laptop, and the house was an explosion of wrapping paper remnants and toddler treasures. She embraced the chaos in navy leggings and an elevated sweatshirt that was old enough to pre-date her Netflix subscription but so soft it felt like a hug. White sneakers were her nod to “getting dressed,” and, for once, her jewelry box stayed closed—because who needs hoops when you’re building LEGO towers and sipping reheated coffee? After a brisk walk to burn off some of her two-year-old’s endless energy, they spent the afternoon surrounded by shiny new toys, Miles giggling as his tiny fire truck wove through a maze of puzzle pieces and blocks. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was the perfect re-entry into their home life groove.

On a festive Wednesday in the week before Christmas, she reached for her wide-legged jeans with their charming button-front detail, pairing them effortlessly with a classic black turtleneck layered under a cozy cream cardigan—equal parts city chic and fireside cozy. Her white leather sneakers gave the look a cool, casual edge, while her everyday gold hoops added their familiar twinkle, like little ornaments she wore year-round. The morning was a joyful blur of jingling tambourines and handclaps at the Multicultural Holiday Music Class, where her son danced like no one was watching (even though everyone absolutely was), and the room buzzed with celebrations of winter traditions from around the world. By the afternoon, she was at daycare/cowork, sneaking moments of productivity between daydreams of sugar cookies and twinkling lights, already counting down to the magic of the weekend ahead.

On a chilly mid-December Wednesday, she channeled effortless city-mom charm in wide-legged jeans that swished with every step, paired with a navy and camel striped turtleneck layered under a perfectly slouchy camel cardigan. Her white leather sneakers kept things practical but chic, while her gold hoops—her trusty signature—added a touch of easy elegance. The morning brought the joyful chaos of a multicultural holiday music class, where her little one clapped along to songs in languages neither of them knew but somehow felt familiar. By the afternoon, she slipped into her usual daycare/cowork routine, the cardigan cozily draped over her shoulders like a soft hug as she tapped away at her laptop, already humming one of the morning’s festive tunes.
