Check out 16 Return-To-Work Programs In India For Ambitious Women Like You!
Being the mom of a toddler and keeping your fashion identity intact is no mean feat, but maybe you can still manage to do so by following these tips?
You wish and sigh at the pre motherhood days when you could wear as much and carry as less as you wished! But as the mom of a toddler, now you are left tugging a kiddo (and all the essentials), and practical dressing has become a way of life.
Wondering how to add some zing while still being close to realistic? Then you have come to the right place. Read on for some of my saviour tricks for ploughing through mommy zone without dressing up beoming boring.
While stilletos are a no no, it doesn’t mean you go everywhere in sneakers.
Try those heeled sneakers, Mary Janes, platforms, and similar other fashionable options. They look interesting, but are easy to amble in with your child alongside.
Tiny mini micros might cause bloopers with toddlers in tow! Switch to midi or maxi length in dresses and skirts, which can be both functional, and a break from jeans. You can also match your existing mini micros with sheer/opaque tights or leggings.
For the less adventurous ones, explore varied styles for upper wear like cut sleeves, Bardot, crop tops, off shoulders etc., while keeping the bottom simple with your favourite denims or yoga pants.
Since we now carry much more than our world around, fitting things in a sling is IMPOSSIBLE, and nothing can be worse than chugging along with 2-3 different bags, like a baby bag, sling/messenger, and tote along.
Switch to mini diaper bags or else carry full-fledged backpacks with multiple pockets to be able to compartmentalize your stuff from your kids. It is both functional, and fashion savvy even for your male partner to carry around.
Instead of carrying a full blown vanity kit, start investing in multiple drugstore kind of products and stash an essential kit in as many places, or keep in as many bags that are an everyday use, like your backpack, laptop bag, office drawers, and bathroom.
Since changing jewellery everyday to match each of your outfit might be a task which involves time as well as coordinating in advance, why not invest in classics like Swarvoski, silver and semi-precious stones? They go with most outfits, and are not too heavy on the wallet.
For those occasions which call for dressing in your best traditional wear, sarees and heavy salwar kameez with dupatta will make you more accident prone. Also traditional silks are dear enough to not handle kid spills and related mishaps.
Better mix and match pieces from your existing wardrobe; pair a simple pin tuck kurti with heavy odhni draped securely, or a simple crop top with a lehenga skirt.
Kids these days are much more tech savvy than you can imagine. Ditch your daily dose of OTT and social media for the ancient books. Surprisingly or not, your kids would also take to their books, and this could be a bonding time filled with informational creativity.
Keeping inventory of basic toiletries like shampoo, moisturiser, talcum powder for adults and kids is anyone’s nightmare.
The trade secret is that these connotations are barely different for kids and adults. In baby products, SPF is on the lower side, and so are chemicals like Parabens, Sulphates, etc. Why not gift yourself the luxury of using baby products and treat your skin and hair with delight?
Wipes for baby bottoms come handy for toddler casualties as well. Not only are these devised to be chemical light, they suit the most sensitive of skins. And since wipes are short lived, it’s better to carry one open pack of baby wipes, than a separate face wipes pack for yourself.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
Love cannot be imposed Stalkers speak of love, which in a few minutes turns deadly when they are rejected by the woman.
Trigger Warning: This speaks of stalking, violence against women, and murder by a stalker, and may be triggering to survivors.
Justice prevailed after 6 long years.
A ‘NO’ once said or said over a thousand times holds only the same meaning when uttered by a woman.
