What to Wear To a Kid’s Birthday Party
Dressing for a kid’s birthday party is not exactly like dressing for an adult birthday party in that kids are messy and their parties often involve some form of activity that doesn’t exactly mesh well with heels or cute dry-clean only dresses. Still, cutoff shorts and a t-shirt doesn’t exactly live up to the effort involved in an event that often involves hired kiddy entertainment, catered food, and personalized decorations (or at least in NYC, where the birthday parties we’ve been to can be way over the top). And hey, kids are a lot of work, so after making it through another year, it really should be just as much about celebrating the parents, right?

To help, I put together a guide for what to wear to a kid’s birthday party.

My Favorite Pregnancy Outfits for Summer
Being pregnant is hard enough, let alone being pregnant in summer when you can’t exactly bundle up under big, bulky layers. Looking polished while staying cool can be a challenge, especially when you don’t want to spend your baby’s college…
What to Wear to Your Child’s Graduation Ceremony
I can’t believe we’ve already hit this (seemingly) major milestone already, but a couple years ago, we attended our first graduation ceremony for our firstborn when James graduated from preschool. (Where does the time go?!) I know it’s only preschool,…
