Every time I visit my parents in West Virginia my mom and I go to the store-that-shall-not-be-named. Not one to burn bridges that have yet to even be erected, I’ve decided to not name said store and just describe it to you as a massive clothing warehouse packed to bursting with cheapish items you probably don’t want and definitely don’t need. Think TJ Maxx variety
My Butt Says Yes to American Eagle Jeans. #sponsored
Dear Internet homies, I’d like to tell you the story of my favorite jeans… This summer I spent a legitimately horrific challenging and enlightening day at the mall school shopping with a tween girl.
Rockin’ the Rockports. How to Wear Ankle Booties.
Based on what I know about fashion and style, there are few instances when looking like a mom can be considered a good thing.

Happy Human Hacks: Update Your Spring Outfits on a Budget
