My Current Drop-Off Situation

My current drop-off situation has made me feel like a glorified taxi driver. From the morning carpool to practice and all those other after-school activities, I feel like I’ve been spending a lot of time in my car lately. I’m sure all my fellow moms out there can relate - the struggle is real! Anyway, glam has not been happening lately (sunnies, hats and beanies have been my bff) but you girls know I still like to look somewhat pulled together. So, I’m sharing six of my current go-to drop-off looks that are both effortless and chic.
