Excited to feature another stylish mom today as part of our Secrets of Stylish Moms series! Angela is a freelance designer and stylist with the Instagram feed to prove it! She’s worked on many neat projects, including designing her own line of family reunion tees! (I mean, how are awesome are these shirts?) She has great style and taste that extends from her work into her awesomely curated wardrobe. She currently balances her freelance work with being a mother to her adorable two year old, Margo.

Thanks for participating Angela! Tell us more about this stylish outfit, and that killer dress!
While plenty of my days are spent in jeans and tees, in summer I find myself gravitating towards skirts or a comfortable dress like this one. My style is generally very simple and I love that dresses are a one-item ensemble — anything that reduces the number of wardrobe decisions I have to make is a bonus for me. Pairing a dress with oxfords gives the look a more casual vibe, and makes the outfit even more comfortable. Dressing as a mom is all about finding a good balance between practicality and style. I’m still working on that… but I’ve found that if I make a little extra effort each day to add interest to my outfit with texture, simple accessories, etc. I feel more put together.
What is one favorite piece in your wardrobe that is both practical for a mother and stylish?
I love a good midi dress. The length is my favorite because it allows me to be comfortable chasing my little one at the park or through the aisles of Target.
What would you consider your go-to ‘momiform’ to be? 

My trusty black denim pants, a patterned blouse or button-up top, and a colorful pair of sandals or flats.

What is something you do for yourself everyday?

I’ve been making an effort to set aside time for some daily meditation. Whether it’s part of a longer yoga routine or just five minutes when I can squeeze it in, that time spent clearing my mind and calming down makes a noticeable difference in my focus, overall outlook and relationships.

My sisters and I adore Angela and regularly exclaim with each other about her style. Thank you for sharing! Now just post 20 more pictures of her in different outfits… 🙂

She is lovely, like all the ladies you featured!

But it would be really awesome to see a plus-size gal featured once in a while, as well 🙂

Love this look (except the shoes) and super cute hairstyle too! The midi-length skirt looks great on you and I’m obsessed with that madewell bag.
