What I Wore This Week (No. 47)

This week was a doozy. It was a short week, although I’m on mat leave and we’re moving in two weeks, so short weeks aren’t the usual reprieve. But we spent a long weekend at the lake with family, so…

What I Wore This Week (No. 40)

I know I’ve been so bad about posting my weekly outfits. Part of it was that I wasn’t ready to reveal our pregnancy so I was basically just hiding under big sweaters. And part of it is that things have…

7 Spring Outfits I’ll Have on Repeat

I don’t know about you, but I have had enough of winter and sweaters, coats, and tights and bundling up the family to step outside. Even though it’s been a chilly start to spring so far, I couldn’t wait to…

What I Wore on Our Trip to Florida

We went to Florida for a long weekend to see family and unsuccessfully escape the polar vortex. Sadly, we arrived just in time for rain and it only cleared up as we left. So I packed a bunch of stuff I didn’t need, because it turned out to be cold and rainy, and my dreams of shooting great beach getaway content for you were squashed. However, the sun did come out for long enough that I was able to wear some of my favorite new beach dresses and snap a few pics. Even though it wasn’t the most photo-worthy trip, we had fun spending time with James and it was kind of nice not having to worry about looking cute for pics or dressing cute (it was basically just bundle up with whatever warm clothes we brought for the first two days). Still, I got to squeeze in some cute looks that I definitely recommend if you’re heading somewhere warm sometime soon.

What I Wore This Week (No. 39)

This has been the longest week ever. Did I mention it’s my birthday week? I love birthdays (mine is March 15) and normally I do something dramatic like draw it out over the entire week and dub it “birthday week”…

What I Wore This Week (No. 37)

It’s been a gross week of cold, wet weather. The good news? It’s also been a short week! Honestly, after being super indulgent and lazy over the long weekend, I didn’t feel like getting dressed this week. The slushy, gross weather didn’t help. Luckily, it was more of a grind it out on big projects kind of week at work, so I didn’t have to get dressed up for any events or presentations so I went with a more casual vibe.

5 Pieces Every Mom Needs in Her Closet

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.
