Exciting news! Shopbop is having a major sale and for those of you who are Og followers of the blog, you know I live for a shopbop sale. It’s basically when I do all my shopping (well, most of it anyway…). They always time their sales perfectly to the change in season and as I’ve said before, unlike other sales, it’s not just the last of the past season’s inventory that’s marked down. They currently have lots of cute pieces that could easily transition into spring but you can also wear now. But as always, the sales inventory can be overwhelming to say the least so I’ve rounded up my favorite finds from the shopbop sale.

I often get asked for my mom wardrobe essentials – the tried and true items that I can wear to chase around our son and dog and still feel presentable for a play date, playground run-in, or lunch meeting. Even though I love shopping, I work in fashion and live for pretty dresses, you might be surprised to know that I actually don’t have that many clothes in my closet. I try to invest in quality basics that I can wear over and over again, especially now that I’m a mom. Frankly, I just don’t have time to think about what I’m going to wear and I need pieces that are versatile, comfy and yet look put-together. These are the wardrobe staples that as a mom I rely on and wear almost every day.
