Hey there! You guys did it again and totally brought barrettes back for the sake of our last style challenge of the season. Well done. Some of you shared close-ups, while others styled up an entire outfit around their new-found fav accessory. Who knew barrettes came in all shapes and sizes? I’m still drooling over Shana’s big ol’ square clips (above). All of your entries were SO so good — thank you to everyone who played along all month long. I, for one, am pretty sad to see these Style Challenges go…
BUT WAIT. There’s more.
Based on some of your suggestions on recent posts, we’re going to extend this Style Challenge for one more week!! In the spirit of sustainability (a la Shana’s last Weekend Post) let’s all style up something we’ve had for 10 years or more. Same rules, same potential to win a $50 gift card to any retailer of your choice. Just style up something you’ve had for…well, forever and send us a pic! Be sure to tag @themomedit and #TMEStyleChallenge so we can see you in all your sustainable glory.
How fun is that?
Now, for this week’s totally random $50 Gift Card Winner…

We had to share Amy’s caption for this one: “Feeling my favorite made-up power word: BADASSAFRASS.” Aaaand now that’s our new favorite word, Amy. We love how fearless and fun you are with your fashion.

Help! I got some cute (to me) Dansko open-back clogs and was all ready for comfort but they hurt the top of my feet! Like my feet are too tall? The first time I walked a mile in them the top of my arches sill hurt the next day, almost like I’d bruised them. I’d try a size up but my big feet are already the biggest size. Is this normal? How can the super-comfortable shoe hurt so much?
Guys, are you still doing the last challenge or Life got too busy?
Ahh, Nadia! We TOTALLY are. I promise (: Stay tuned for it within the next week or so.
