Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that one of these weeks, soon, I am not going to open my weekly fashion post with some commentary on how it’s supposed to be spring but isn’t. Soon. Not this week. Because, shiver. I sat at soccer practice this week wrapped in a dirty old car blanket. I smelled like gas and Cheetos
This is part 2 in my Frump Banishing series that I started following my article on Redbook. You can read part 1 here: Easy Mom Trends: Graphic Tees Technically it’s spring. In reality, today was 32 degrees. Spring is being a total punk, letting Winter bully it. I need spring to man up so my pretty floral canvas shoes can come out to play! Straight
Last week I wrote a fashion trends article for Redbook Magazine about banishing frumpy mom trends. It wasn’t meant to make anyone feel tired or lazy or unbeautiful. I would never. I don’t want that for you and also, as many of you know, I have been there. Covered head to toe in fleece and frump, and royally unhappy with myself. I know better clothing
Sitting on the airplane is pretty much the only time I have to peruse fashion magazines. Like in the olden days. I used to love sitting in my room, as a teen, or at the nail salon, pre-kids (when I had time and money for bi-monthly mani-pedis) flipping through those glossy pages looking at the creative spreads put together by people who love what they

I’m certain that I will never appreciate these long winter days and, if I didn’t have a house and
Sneakers. They are a legit part of any wardrobe. You need the working out kind. You know, if you’re actually planning to work out. But, just fashion-ly speaking, the working out sneakers are not also meant to be the rocking-a-cool-outfit-to-the-movies-with-the-girls sneakers. So, you need two pair. A working out pair and, what I like to call a hey-girl pair. These… are my working pair. See
I got into style and fashion blogging after the What NOT to Wear experience. It was a natural progression; people wanted to know if I was keeping up my new look, and I wanted the accountability the Internet so often provides. I’ve fallen off with it a lot lately though. Dressing like a grown up lady is no longer a challenge, and no one really
The winter season is coming to a close (I hope. I really, truly hope. Please, Mother Nature, I am begging you. Make it end. Stop the madness. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. See, there, winter is making me hallucinate.), which means so is boot season. Which means boots are on sale. Which means happy! I hit Marshall’s on Friday to kill
It is a jumpsuit. And, I know they’re not for everyone, but I love them. They’re like the winter version of a dress. You don’t have to worry about a top and a bottom. Because it’s all there for you. Sewn together in the middle, forever married as one happy outfit. You can make them dressy or not so dressy. And either way they are
