Organized New Mom Tip #14: Relax your wardrobe

This might sound like a “duh” kind of tip, but it’s harder to do than it seems. At first, in the midst of all the pooping and spit up, I didn’t care at all that I was spending my days in a t-shirt and yoga pants, but after awhile I caught myself looking longingly at my high-heeled “hurts-like-hell-but-man-do-they-make-me-look-good” knee high boots. If you’re a SAHM like me, it’s especially hard because you don’t get to enjoy fancy outfits during normal working hours away from home. The most important thing about this particular organized new mom tip is that you’ve got to tell yourself you’re going to do it. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself buying pretty dresses and strappy sandals yet opting for comfortable shoes and 100% cotton when you leave the house. Trust me. In the long run, dressing down your closet makes life much easier both physically and financially.
