SAHM in joggers rut. How to dress nicer with a toddler?

Hello all!

I’m a SAHM to a 15mo girl.
My fashion at the moment seems split personality.
Day to day I get covered in food or dirty toddler hands, so I just wear Tshirts, Breton style or joules cotton tops and a juicy couture jogger in navy, black, grey as they wash really well.

I put skinny jeans on to pop out or go anywhere..

At classes and out and about, I’ve seen mums and can put together beautiful outfits of blouses, well co ordinated clothes.

I feel I’m in a style rut. I wear all my nice stuff only at weekends and out and about and weekdays and inside I feel
a slob!! It’s not like I don’t own blouses and beautiful clothes, it’s just I feel totally impractical in them with a toddler.

What kind of clothes do you wear day to day? I feel Jeans or jeggings aren’t comfortable.

I’m size 16 now so my dresses and tunics and leggings looks tend to make me look chunkier than bottoms and trousers and jeans...

Any help or your own style would be really helpful!

I’m a SAHM to a three yr old and 5 month old and as much as it pains me to say, I tend to live in leggings with a vest top, long cardy and converse. I am in a HUGE rut. I recently bought some Lucy & Yak dungarees which I love and are super comfy, but not something I can wear too often.

Meh.

I think that the put together mothers that you see probably dress the same as you do when in the comfort of their own homes.
