Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered: where did I go? Today we’re talking about how our personal style has shifted from pre-kid life to mom life. From getting dressed in the morning to washing our face at night—we’re spilling the beans on our makeup, clothing, and skin care must-haves. In this episode, Ashlee divulges which magical perfume earns her compliments from both flight attendants and sandwich shop employees, while Indiana shares a hack for keeping her wardrobe fresh through the holiday season. Plus, April explains why it’s necessary to hire a babysitter to go shoe shopping with her husband. Whether your daily uniform is a ponytail and yoga pants or you can’t leave the house without a swipe of red lipstick, we hope this lighthearted chat puts a smile on your face and reminds you that you’re beautiful inside and out.

Ashlee and Indi’s Modcloth picks are pretty indicative of how opposite their personal style is!

Rent The Runway has fancy dresses and super stylish regular clothes, accessories, and coats. You can rent via three different plans: rent for a one-off occasion, rent four items per month with RTR Update, or rent four items at a time and swap unlimited times per month with RTR Unlimited (which is how Indiana gets through the holiday party season). Indiana’s share code will net you $30 off.

Le Tote is similar to RTR Update, but the clothes offerings are much more casual and there aren’t designer brands. Here’s a promo code to try it for a month free.
