What I’m wearing as a stay-at-home mom in the city

Tuesday in Chicago, our cool city mom steps into navy-and-white striped linen pants and a trusty denim vest, her favorite sneakers ready for anything, gold hoops swinging gently, her herringbone necklace catching the light, and her single remaining permanent bracelet clinking softly as she navigates the day. The morning started with pure joy, trains chugging and guitar riffs echoing as her son jammed away before daycare drop-off, but the energy shifted quickly as she rushed home to take her dog to the vet after a sudden decline in health. Wiping away tears, she tried to dive into work, only to be repeatedly derailed by phone updates from the vet, while the flood of photos and videos of her son laughing in music class highlighted the stark contrast between their moods. She does her best to stay positive, to find her footing amidst the worry, but sometimes life just insists on testing the heart, and even a cool city mom can feel the weight of it all.

Monday in Chicago, our cool city mom slips into navy pleated shorts and a green-and-navy striped top, her favorite sneakers ready to carry her through a slow-but-steady return to routine, gold hoops glinting in the morning light, her herringbone necklace and stack of permanent bracelets—minus the one that broke off last night, now added to her ever-growing to-do list—clicking softly as she walks. After a whirlwind week in Disney where posting daily outfit photos (or, let’s be honest, anything at all) went out the window, followed by a sinus infection that laid her flat until antibiotics arrived, she’s finally back among the living—only to be hit with news from her podiatrist about her oddly shaped ankle bone that explains the slow healing of past injuries. Who knew? At least there are answers now, so she takes a deep breath, adjusts her bracelets, and keeps moving forward, one carefully measured step at a time.

Tuesday in Florida finds our cool city mom navigating the wonders of the Kennedy Space Center in navy pleated shorts and a navy-and-white striped top, her favorite sneakers keeping pace with toddler-sized footsteps, gold hoops catching the Florida sun, and her herringbone necklace layered with her graduated rope necklace, bracelets clinking as she points out rockets and space shuttles. Between awe-filled toddler squeals and photo ops with towering rockets, she’s effortlessly stylish yet totally practical—because even in outer space-adjacent adventures, a mom’s got to look good while keeping up with a little explorer whose excitement is truly out of this world.

It’s a long Monday of travel from Chicago to Orlando, and the city mom is keeping it effortlessly cool in black linen cropped wide-leg pants and a black square-neck cropped top, her favorite sneakers cushioning every step, gold hoops glinting in airport lights, and her herringbone necklace layered with her graduated rope necklace, bracelets stacked high as ever. Between tag-teaming with three other adults to corral her toddler, who’s mostly charming and surprisingly cooperative, they somehow make it through Ubers, security, and flights, landing exhausted but buzzing with excitement, ready to swap skyscrapers for sunshine—even if she’s already dreaming of a quiet cocktail before bedtime.

My week as a romcom: Ashley’s week in Chicago could’ve been lifted straight from a romcom montage—equal parts hustle, sparkle, and heart. Monday started grounded, catching up on blog work and a mountain of emails that had stacked up over the weekend. Tuesday brought a little extra shine: a Zoom call with the Nic + Juniors team to fine-tune Chicago Literary Salon plans, a physical therapy session to keep her ankle in check, and then a dreamy evening cruising the Chicago River and Lake Michigan on a sunset boat tour with the Friend of a Mom Book group—laughter, city lights, and a breeze that felt like freedom. By Wednesday, Eric was finally back from his work trip, and Ashley balanced the practical and the indulgent: tackling her to-do list between a massage, a call with a potential sponsor, and an ankle ultrasound (because even romcom leads need doctor’s orders). Thursday was less glamorous, spent mostly in front of her computer, broken up only by another PT session. But Friday ended on a high: a lunch meeting with an author to brainstorm ways to make the Chicago Literary Salon truly magical, followed by Miles’ fresh new haircut—proof that even the busiest weeks can tie up with a perfectly heartwarming bow.

It’s a breezy Friday in August, and the city mom is keeping it chic and effortless in a black linen midi-dress, her favorite sneakers, and her go-to gold hoops, with her herringbone necklace layered under her graduated rope necklace and her stack of permanent bracelets adding just the right amount of everyday sparkle. She’s wrapping up the week in style—slipping in one last meeting with a local author to chat about the Chicago Literary Salon, firing off emails, and finally setting her out-of-office as she imagines sandy toes and sunshine ahead in Florida, feeling that perfect mix of accomplished and ready-for-vacation giddiness.

It’s a low-key Thursday in August, and the city mom is effortlessly pulled together in black athletic leggings, a black-and-white speckled tank layered under her trusty black bomber jacket, and her favorite sneakers keeping her grounded, while her go-to gold hoops and new stack of permanent bracelets add a little sparkle to the mostly-at-home grind. The day is mostly spent at her computer—except for daycare drop-off, pick-up, and a quick stop at physical therapy—but she’s powering through, crossing items off her to-do list, and organizing the upcoming events for the Chicago Literary Salon with that perfect mix of hustle and cool, proving that even a “stay-home” day can feel like a mini triumph.

It’s a whirlwind Wednesday in August, and the city mom is perfectly balanced between comfort and style in a white athleisure skirt with a teal tank layered under a dark teal jacket, her favorite sneakers carrying her from task to task, while her go-to gold hoops, graduated rope necklace, and new stack of permanent bracelets add just the right polish. She dives into work at her computer, then slips out for a rejuvenating massage, slides into a virtual meeting feeling effortlessly pulled together, and finally heads to physical therapy—where she finally gets answers to her lingering ankle issues, all without ever having to change out of the outfit that’s carried her gracefully from one appointment to the next.

It’s a gorgeous Tuesday morning in August, and the city mom is effortlessly chic in black linen wide-leg pants paired with a black-and-white striped boat-neck top, black Birkenstocks keeping it casual, while her go-to gold hoops and new stack of permanent bracelets add just the right sparkle. She savors the beautiful walk to drop her son off at daycare before diving into a busy day: prepping for a meeting with the events team at Nic + Juniors for their upcoming event series, putting the finishing touches on the premier event description, and approving the email template from her graphic designer (it. is. stunning.). After a quick dash to physical therapy, she’s home, showers, and transforms into evening mode for a sunset soirée—dinner aboard a 90-foot red Fireboat with her Friend of a Mom group, laughing and floating along the Chicago skyline, city lights twinkling like a perfectly curated backdrop.

It’s a bright Monday in August, and the city mom is perfectly pulled together in green pants with scallop-detailed pockets and a light pink sweater vest, her light pink perforated slip-ons keeping things playful, while her go-to gold hoops, graduated rope necklace, and new stack of permanent bracelets add that effortless sparkle. The morning is pure joy as she and her husband watch their son put on an impromptu concert—singing his ABCs, strumming his little guitar, tapping his foot to the beat, and gleefully directing claps and hand waves—before the whirlwind of daycare drop-off. Once back home, she dives into her to-do list, breezing through blog posts, creating social teaser videos, editing photographs, and putting the final touches on her monthly newsletter going out this Friday (are you signed up?), all while still riding the high of a morning filled with toddler magic.

It’s a busy Thursday in August, and the city mom is all about effortless cool in a black athleisure skirt paired with a dusty blue athleisure top, her favorite sneakers ready for anything, while her go-to gold hoops, signature herringbone necklace, and new stack of permanent bracelets add just the right sparkle. After dropping her son off at daycare, she’s off and running—zipping from physical therapy straight to a business meeting at a café, catching up on emails, posting two new blog posts, and ticking off all the little tasks that keep her blog humming. By evening, she trades her laptop for laughter and conversation over dinner with friends she hasn’t seen in a month, still chic, still put-together, and somehow managing to make even chaos look effortless.
