Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean glamour has to disappear. If you’re ready for a new look, here are six simple mom makeover tips to give you a fresh style and earn you the “hot mom” moniker.
New bra
“The first thing any woman should do as she begins a makeover is to get a bra fitting,” says fashion blogger Laura Coronado of Lollie Shopping. “I recommend going to a department store such as Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus, where the associates are trained to perform a proper bra fitting.”
She continues, “Once a woman knows her correct bra size and carries her bust in the proper area of her body, she will discover a new, sexy figure she may not have been aware she had, including a smaller waistline than she originally thought.”

Find your personal accessory
Soul Stylist Dame Lori tells ladies to choose one signature style piece and run with it. “Every stylish person smartly chooses one item to indulge in. What is your favorite comfort and chic item? Wear it loud and proud.” she says.
“Make cool sneakers, scarves from around the world or cool earrings a daily, central part of your outfit and shopping focus. Even if the rest of your outfit is tossed on jeans and a T-shirt, you will always feel chic.”

Mani and pedi
You don’t have to go to a spa to enjoy some self pampering. Give yourself an at home manicure and pedicure. Use some white sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to exfoliate your hand, feet and smooth your cuticles. Rinse with a can of club soda and your hands and feet will feel renewed. Finish with a pretty new seasonal shade of nail polish.

Teeth whitening
The most important thing a mom can wear is her smile. Today, a trip to the dentist isn’t necessary to put a little sparkle in your pearly whites.
The next time you’re at the local drugstore, pick up a home teeth whitening kit. This easy fix can be done while blow-drying your hair, folding the laundry or even as you lay in bed reading a book.
