Fake it 'til you make it.
While we've spent the last several years convincing ourselves that joggers, are, in fact, real pants...I've pretty much ignored sweatshirts. Every once in a while, I'd layer a hoodie under a leather jacket or something, but the vast majority of my sweatshirts were worn strictly as loungewear or post-workout whatevers.
I took the name 'sweatshirt' v. literally.
Oh, Hey!...
Maybe it's the leaves changing, the crisp air, or the fact that I can wear dark wash jeans and jackets again -- but I am so ready for fall!
While I must admit, I am a little sad to say goodbye to summer, I am looking forward to all the fall festivities to come. I may or may not have...
Ooooof, friends. Here we are again. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview time! I'm just going to be completely transparent here, even if it makes me sound like a bit of a Debbie Downer (insert Rachel Dratch meme here) -- I'm feeling real...hmmm, what's the word? sluggish? unmotivated?...when it comes to the sale this year. With school starting (errr, "starting") the...
I've long thought that Banana Republic's best collections are their late spring/early summer ones, and this year is no exception. Plus, they're having insane sales at the moment, so I thought I'd highlight one of my very favorite pieces, this cute little striped sweater. Banana's sales are constantly changing, but at the moment this sweater is on sale...AND has...
Back when Everlane was running a denim sale, I went a little crazy and ordered a bunch of jeans to try. The thing is, as popular as Everlane is here at The Mom Edit, I had only ever tried their jeans once. Then, our entire team tried their High-Rise Skinny Button-Fly jean and I fell in love. So much...
After four days of social distancing and self-quarantine, it's the little things in life that I'm grateful for — like a good Nordstrom sale. And this sale is better than good because EVERYTHING is 25% off! I honestly can't remember the last time that Nordstrom has done that. This means that some of my favorite pieces and go-to wardrobe...
I've been a longtime fan of Madewell jeans. They've carried me strongly through my 4-year career here at The Mom Edit and rarely let me down. But, for as many times as I've gone in the store and found jeans I loved, I never leave feeling like any of the other clothes are flattering on me.
Realization: I love...
Four of my most-worn spring and summer pieces are easy dresses, cute clogs, a pretty bag, and good denim. By the time these pieces make it over to the sale section though, there is only one random size available and it is NEVER EVER mine.
I have learned that if I ever want to snag these "most-worn" pieces on...
At a recent Monday team meeting, S asked me to look around for what she thinks are called "drop yoke jeans." Linzi interjected and said she thinks they're called "double yoke." (And the yoke's on S, because the internet world seems to agree with Linz.)
Just to add to the confusion, most jeans have a v-shaped seam (yoke) in...
