“I remember walkin’ through the park, just shootin’ the breeze.
Those were the Days, Aaliyah ‘01
Kissin’ in the shade—those were the days.”
Some days, a mom just wants to look effortlessly put together without sacrificing comfort. This playground look is my go-to when I want style & playfulness to meet in the middle.
I start with my navy signature TJ hat — the epitome of my classic style. I pair it with a knit collared top for that crisp, timeless prep vibe. I match it with what I affectionately call my “dad bottoms” — pleated khaki trouser shorts, 9 inches long, cinched at the waist with a brown leather skinny belt.
My accessories are what make this look shine: a brown leather crossbody tote with gold detailing (luxury feel without breaking the bank. Of course, my classic OG Adidas Sambas in the burgundy color to keep it sporty & practical.
