I’ve wanted to do this post forever because well, every Mom needs a good pair of basics – you know the main pieces she uses and wears in her closet. Mine consists of about 4 basic tees, my favorite jeans and my favorite pair of leggings. SO I figured, let me share my favorites because well – Mom life and I’m all about making it a little easier.

BASIC ITEMS:

+MADEWELL JEANS: Y’all know I love myself a good pair of Madewell jeans, so naturally those are the ones that I go to the most often. I have a few pairs, but two that I go to the most often. These jeans are just stretchy, high waisted and honestly in my opinion, made for Mama. They are a little pricier, but they’re worth it – I wear mine multiple times a week and have had some of them for years. For sizing reference, I wear a 27, I have a 28 in a ripped pair and love them for comfort – but these two below I’m listing are in a 27. So if I had to recommend just getting one pair, these would be them, but here are both pairs that I wear the most often:

+BASIC TEES: Target it did it right with their Universal Thread line. Seriously the pieces are totally affordable and great quality! So naturally, all my favorite basic tees come from this line. I used to get my basic tees from Nordstrom just because I like them to last and love their tees, but I am a big fan on the Universal Thread ones and have been wearing them more often lately. I have the following three, all in size medium, in different colors:

+LEGGINGS: Leggings are naturally my go to, so these get worn more often than I should admit…BUT I love them so much, I have a couple of the same pairs. They’re the Zella Leggings from Nordstrom, their quality is awesome, they hold their shape and they are affordable! I wear a medium in them for sizing reference. Shop em’ here:
