I had the pleasure of chatting with my dear friend and celebrity stylist, Jai Toliver, who always knows how to elevate my look. Jai is a powerhouse when it comes to fashion, and he shared some amazing tips that will help you feel polished, stylish, and ready for anything – all while staying comfortable.

Comfort Meets Chic: Upgrade Your Basics

Let’s be honest: As moms and busy women, we live in our yoga pants and tees. But who says comfy can’t be stylish? Jai’s first tip is to keep it simple yet chic. Instead of sticking to vibrant prints, go for neutral tones like black or navy. You can then add a touch of sophistication with a tailored blazer or a cute blouse. Throw on a pair of statement earrings, and you’re ready for that Zoom call or school pickup in no time!

The Power of Color Blocking

Color blocking is a simple but impactful way to create balance in your outfit. Jai suggests swapping out bright workout leggings for a sleek black pair. With these, you can mix and match tops and accessories to go from casual to polished with minimal effort. Throw on a blazer or an oversized jacket with your yoga pants, and suddenly, you’ve elevated your entire look for a day at the office or lunch with friends.

Who doesn’t love a wardrobe that works from day to night? One of Jai’s favorite tips is to transition easily by swapping just one piece of your outfit. Wear those same comfy yoga pants to run errands, but when evening comes, swap your workout top for a stylish bandeau dress and a cute denim jacket. Pair it with some boots, and voila! You’re ready for dinner with friends or a cozy date night.

Spruce Up Your Look

We all know that as moms, it’s easy to fall into a routine of throwing on whatever’s clean. But don’t forget to have fun with your wardrobe! As Jai says, fashion is about feeling confident in your own skin. Even if you’re opting for something relaxed, make sure to choose pieces that feel fresh and put-together. You don’t need to overhaul your wardrobe – just add in a few chic staples that reflect your personal style and make you feel like the superstar you are!

In a recent fashion adventure, I teamed up with Jai and he transformed pieces from my “donate corner” into a cool and sexy ensemble perfect for a night out in LA. 

Here's how Jai styled this effortlessly chic look:

* Hy-Vee Cut-Down Bodysuit – Adding a sexy flair to the outfit.

* Baggy White Pants – For that cool, laid-back vibe.

* A Dash of Chanel – Bringing a touch of sophistication to complete the look.

The result? A perfect blend of classy and edgy that completely redefined my wardrobe, proving luxury can be found in unexpected places. 

When it comes to a classic mommy’s night out, you can never go wrong with a simple black dress. This look is sleek, timeless, and always makes a statement. For this night, I paired a stunning black mini dress with subtle studded detailing, giving just the right amount of sparkle for a chic evening look. Jai, of course, added his signature touch of elegance with a tailored black suit, elevating the night’s vibe.

This ensemble proves that even as a busy mom, a little black dress can work wonders. Whether you’re going for drinks with friends or out on a date night, it’s the perfect go-to for a confident, bold look that’s both effortless and sophisticated. Pair it with your favorite heels and a designer bag, and you’ve got yourself a head-turning outfit!

Before we wrap up, I want to remind you about my book, "Your Joy Is Your Job: A Real Guide to Living Fully & Authentically"

Life gets busy – we all know that. But taking time for yourself, even if it’s just by adding a little lip gloss or putting on your favorite outfit, can truly change how you feel about your day. As women, we’re often juggling family, work, and a million other things, but our joy is essential. We must prioritize it just like anything else. This guidebook is a step-by-step approach to reclaiming that joy, so you can show up as your best self, in every part of your life.
