Jessica Alba Talks Motherhood & Her Personal Style

Jessica Alba seems completely devoted to her two kids, so it’s no surprise that she’s loving motherhood and is learning things about herself as she explores that time in her life. She says that before she had her first daughter Honor, she was very responsible but now that she’s a mother she can’t think ahead and plan as much as she used to:

“Before I had kids, I was very responsible and serious. I used to be all about controlling my environment; everything had to be just so. Now my idea of perfection is different. You can label bins and have a place for stuff, but when the kids go into the playroom, you’re not going to say, ‘We can’t paint, because how are we going to clean it up?’”

Commenting on her amazing style, Jessica says that it has changed with motherhood, but only to become even more adventurous than before. She says her approach to dressing is to “never say never” and to give new things a try even if you aren’t sure if it will work:

“My style is more adventurous since I became a mom. In the past, I was into my uniform of leggings and a sweater. Now I’m willing to try bold prints, bright colors, and different cuts. Never say never, but I probably won’t ever wear booty shorts. I feel pretty confident about that.”

On figuring out that Cash Warren was “the one” for her, Jessica explains:

“I just knew when I met him that I was going to know him forever. It was weird; he instantly felt like family. It was so easy. I’d never felt like that with anyone. I was usually pretty self-conscious, minding my p’s and q’s, very aware of every time my fork hit the plate when I was having dinner on a date. With him, there was none of that. We got each other. We’re kindred spirits.”
