It’s an age-old notion that “mother” is the end-all-be-all label that will define women. While motherhood may be a significant step, it’s only one facet that makes the dynamic yet wonderful characters of the gals we call moms.
After all, being a mom shouldn’t mean neglecting self-care and their identities. This Mother’s Day, #ImAPreviewMom celebrates the different faces of motherhood and the stylish inspiring women behind it, fronted by some of the country’s most influential moms and their loving brood. (P.S.: You, too, can join the cause by sharing your “twinning” pics with your kids using our official hashtag!)
1. Sunshine Cruz
“As a mother, I’ve learned that taking care of myself and being stylish is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. It’s important to show my children that I value myself and my appearance, while still prioritizing their needs. Motherhood may change my lifestyle, but it doesn’t have to change my sense of style.”
2. Dimples Romana
“My style constantly evolves at the same time as my children’s styles, but what remains is my love for everything self-empowering. I take good care of myself first, so I can do everything I intend to do for the love of my family. Moms often feel guilty about having to put themselves first, but when we become more aware of how much more love we can give out to them when we have it more in our hearts, everything else falls beautifully in its place. After all, we can’t pour from an empty cup!”
3. Eva Patalinjug
“My baby boy turned me into an ‘always-and-forever mommy,’ but I still have myself to care about. What I put on my body helps me define myself, and it helps me connect to who I am, allowing me to recognize my desires and goals. Holding this understanding of independence doesn’t make me less of a mommy. On the contrary, it only makes me a better one.”
4. Geneva Cruz
“Being a decent mother is an everyday choice–no one was born a good mother. As a mom, you’re never alone in your plans or thoughts. Your children should always be included in your decisions. If you behave in a good or bad way, your offspring get affected too, because they’re the extension of you. You can’t be a mother and be selfish at the same time.”
5. Aubrey Miles
“When I became a mom, I actually got more conscious and aware of my style. I appreciate clothes and what suits my body. I love dressing up especially now that I have my daughter Rocket. It’s actually fun styling her!”
6. Bianca King
“Self-care and looking good in motherhood mean so much for my self-esteem and recovery. Even if I’m just at home, taking a hot shower and dressing up nicely with some light makeup is an instant boost. Breastfeeding comfortably is my number one consideration now, too, since I do it around the clock. Finding stylish and comfy feed wear has become my norm!”
