Hi! Spanish Mom here, I loved your take on it, I am more like you and opt for a relaxed look but you nailed this part: "Here’s what they are NOT wearing—baseball caps, graphic tees, anything with fringe, jean shorts, Apple watch, baggy over sized clothing, sweat pants/leggings, or distressed items with holes in them." Athleisure is a no-no for me and a park inside a plaza by a terrace is always a win haha.
My little kid, however, dresses more casually. It's usually the more conservative parents who dress their kids like little dolls; I find it very impractical and uncomfortable for the kids.
First I’m very honored that you read my post <3 thank you
Yes my take was for sure more on the conservative Spanish mom. We were in a place where many of the people had second homes and were coming up to vacation. (not my family haha)
We are fashionably casual!
If you don’t mind me asking what part of Spain do you live?
Kate! This was everything I hoped it would be and more! I want to be a Spanish mom :) I loved your inspiration photos - and your beanie! Can’t wait for the next dispatch from Portland!
Love this Kate! I’ve screenshotted the style references and what I appreciate the most is the encouragement to go for it with wearing what makes you feel a bit more fabulous. I used to live in blazers pre babies and now feel like they don’t match my day to day shenanigans but f it! I want to look like a chic Spanish mum so I’m gonna wear my blazers to the park!!!
Thank you so much! Yes I love to hear this - I agree I decided to wear my nice sweaters and dry clean only pants even though my baby spits up all the time. Otherwise those clothes will just sit in my closet forever
This is so cute and SO TRUE. I used to live in Spain as a kid and those knee-socks are killer. I always wondered whether the kids could move around properly in them, but they look like little dolls.

I’m so so glad you enjoyed it! Super stoked to post on the Portland mom who I know is completely opposite of the Spanish mom haha
So incredibly chic and how I aspire to dress…but when I saw no Apple Watch I died a little inside.
Haha - us Americans love our Apple Watches
Tbh, someone will have to pry this off my wrist. Although everything else - perfection!
That is A okay 🤣
