Moms are known for their practicality; it's a necessary part of raising children. At the Mommy Stylist, we take practicality into consideration when recommending clothing and creating outfits that suit with a mom's busy lifestyle.
But sometimes we all want to be a little impractical. An easy way to do that is to add some pieces to your wardrobe that are a little bold, a little daring and a lot of fun.
We rounded up some items that are not only inexpensive but also will work with items you already have in your closet. These pieces add a pop of color or an interesting pattern on days when you could stand to be sassy.

There's nothing like a cute raincoat to brighten up a gloomy day. ($34.98/Target)
Sassy yet subtle, a pair of tone-on-tone, animal-print jeans shows you are stylish without screaming, "Look at me!" ($22/Old Navy)
If you want to make a smaller statement, try an accessory like this pretty blue lizard-print handbag. ($69.99/Target)
Add some color to your rock and roll look with this faux leather jacket. The quilting detail will make your friends think it came from a high-end store. ($39.80/Forever 21)
These funky cheetah-print wedges aren't too high, and the ankle straps keep them comfortably on your feet. ($65/Bloom)
Wear this lovely ombre blouse with a pair of white jeans. ($36/Accents)
Colored lace is a big trend right now, and this red skirt is the perfect blend of sexy and demure. ($49.99/Zara)
Who needs blue suede shoes when they could have a fabulous faux blue suede jacket like this one? ($44.99/Piperlime)
A mostly neutral outfit begs for a bright purse, like this beautiful berry bag. ($20.99/Call It Spring)
Marie Antoinette wore patterns with pride and so should you — especially a pattern as regal as this one. ($39.99/Zara)
The eyelet detail on this faux leather top softens it; the peplum minimizes the waist and hides the tummy. ($140/Miss Selfridge)
The pretty pattern on this dress says "designer," but the price tag does no. ($39.99/Piperlime)

Sally Hansen nail stickers go on in ten minutes (with no dry time) and last more than a week. This gold and black pattern is both stylish and grown-up. Just remember to cut nails short to keep them from looking costume-y. ($7/Target)
