Alix Earle's viral 'mom at school pickup outfit' sparks hilarious reactions from mothers as they start stitch trend
MIAMI, FLORIDA: In a TikTok video, beauty influencer Alix Earle sparked an unexpected trend among mothers. The 22-year-old University of Miami graduate, known for her popular social media presence, shared a 'Get Ready With Me' segment, proposing different outfit choices for a Miami Dolphins game where her boyfriend, Braxton Berrios, plays as a wide receiver.
In the video, viewed by 4.9 million people, Earle showcased her styling process, including an orange bodysuit paired with distressed denim shorts, "comfy" white heels, a "tiny Jimmy Choo bag", and a Dolphins baseball cap. However, it was her humorous statement, "I feel like a mom picking up her kids from school," that caught the attention of many mothers on TikTok.
Alix Earle's 'Mom at School Pickup' outfit sparks reactions
Unaware of the impact her words would have, Earle unintentionally initiated a trend where mothers stitched her video, providing a glimpse into the reality of school pick-up attire.
One mother, Cassidy Montalvo, took part in the trend, offering a witty commentary on the essentials that mothers often carry.
In her stitched video, Cassidy humorously pointed out missing elements in Earle's depiction, emphasizing the inclusion of a backpack full of snacks, a water bottle destined to be left at school, a jacket the child refuses to wear despite the cold weather, and a cold cup of coffee.
The trend reflects the relatable and chaotic nature of real-life parenting experiences, showcasing the creativity and humor of mothers on TikTok in response to Alix Earle's playful fashion commentary.
Another mother, Nicki Maher from Massachusetts, joined the viral stitch trend by recording herself on her front porch wearing sweatpants and slippers. Her messy bun and casual attire, a couple of notches less glamorous than Earle's 'mom outfit' perfectly captured the chaotic reality of motherhood.
Nicki emphasized the stark difference between the idealized image of motherhood and the actual "hot mess" situation that many mothers experience during school pickup. She shared, "I was exactly like Alix — I had this image of what motherhood was going to look like. But it’s a total hot mess situation. You’ll see me doing pickup in a hoodie with no bra … pajama bottoms and my bun."
Another mother, Mari Ebert, found humor in Alix's statement and decided to embrace the trend. The stitched videos highlight the authenticity and everyday chaos of motherhood, resonating with mothers who appreciate the opportunity to share their unfiltered and relatable experiences on TikTok.
