About
I have always loved clothing, fashion, and helping others find what they feel good in. My dream job has always been to be a wardrobe stylist, but I never really knew how to pursue my passion so when I turned 16 I started a career in clothing retail, eventually working my way into cosmetics retail where I spent close to 10 of my 15+ year retail career.
In 2013, after knowing each other almost 9 years, my boyfriend and I got pregnant with our first child, and even that early on in my mom journey, it was important to me not to lose myself as a result of becoming a mother, as I had seen and worked with so many women in my career coming in for help because of that exact reason. It is my belief that we can be better parents and role models by taking pride in our appearance, health and overall well being, even if that means waking up 30 minutes earlier or staying up an hour later just for YOU- believe me, it’s worth it!
After our second child was born, I experienced so postpartum depression and part of what got me through it was finally when I started getting dressed again, putting makeup on, brushing my hair and eventually leaving the house again. So finally I decided to share my passion for moms to care for themselves as much after kids as they did before and I started Wear Mom Jeans on Instagram in 2016, a source of comfortable, easy, and affordable style inspiration for moms. Even putting on your mom jeans rather than staying in your sweatpants takes a certain level of confidence and style so Wear Mom Jeans, mamas, and put YOUR style into it. ?
In late 2017, I took the plunge of leaving corporate retail, really the only career path I knew of, to further pursue my passion for styling and fashion. Shortly after I got a text from a dear friend about a photographer needing a stylist. Without any previous experience and only my #momstyle #ootd posts to show as my “portfolio”, I emailed the photographer and he took a chance on a new stylist, this led to other styling opportunities, thus jump starting my dream career as a wardrobe stylist. As I continue to grow in my styling career and putting myself out there, it is my passion for dressing and inspiring others that keeps me going and inspired the creation of Wear Mom Jeans, the brand.
