Back to Basics

As some of you have probably experienced, maternity leave involves a whole lotta hanging out around the house.  Sure, there are walks around the neighborhood and the occasional play date, brunch, or shopping trip, but for me, it mostly involves fitting in a shower, exercise and household chores during nap times.  Getting dressed and ready isn’t often on the agenda.  So I was happy to have an opportunity this past Friday to head out to my old jobsite with John and Elliot to say hello to everyone and check out the progress.  I took the opportunity to pull a few basic pieces together and even had a chance to curl my hair.  Since almost nothing fits from my old wardrobe yet, I was drawn to the basics–a good skinny jean, boots, oversized shirt and cardigan.  Didn’t add any jewelry since E has recently discovered how to yank on things.  It’s hard enough pulling my hair out of his grip.  So what are your basics?  Are they your everyday wear, or do you save them for the weekends?
