It’s a Thursday in August, and the city mom isn’t even pretending she’s wearing anything but athleisure: a black athleisure skirt paired with a black cropped tee, her favorite sneakers ready for action, and her go-to gold hoops and signature herringbone necklace adding just the right touch of polish. Her new stack of permanent bracelets jingles as she moves through a whirlwind day: daycare drop-off, steaming and packing clothes for tomorrow’s photoshoot, squeezing in a last-minute manicure in case there are any close-up shots of her hands, firing off emails, and—most thrilling of all—selecting the official logo for the Chicago Literary Salon. By evening, she’s back at physical therapy, tackling both her sprained ankle and the pulled muscle in her back, before finally picking up her son and settling in for a much-needed, low-stakes train-play session. In athleisure, with just enough sparkle, she’s officially conquered the chaos of the day—without missing a beat. LTKTravel LTKFamily LTKActive
