Jackets and I have a volatile relationship. I either look like I'm about to morph into the Hulk (gotta love those swimmer's shoulders) or like I'm borrowing my dad's jacket, but not in a cool way. Layering with cute jackets always felt out of reach for me.
Until I got my hands on the Free People Rumors Denim Jacket.

I ran across this gorgeous ivory blazer from Ann Taylor when I was recently pulling together my spring and summer workwear capsule. Being the blazer fan-girl I am (and I don't just mean the Portland basketball kind) I had to try it. Turns out it was worth the try! Wowza. I love it!

A total closet work-horse: the classic, easy, beloved white tee. Finding the absolute perfect white t-shirt has been a little project I’ve been working on for years...seriously...years. In dressing rooms, at friends' houses, in front of my selfie mirror...I've tried over 40! And we get a ton of questions at TME about white tees! Apparently, I'm not the only...
I love a trend, especially a '90s shoe trend. When Steve Madden brought back their legendary Slinky Black Sandals I squealed with delight and was immediately transported back to boy band wars, Trapper Keepers, and trips to Claire's to see how far my $20 in babysitting coin could take me.
Unfortunately, nostalgia did not supersede reality and the sandals...
Let me tell you about the biggest hazard of working here at The Mom Edit. It's, hands-down, buying all.the.stuff that your colleagues make look SO freaking good. And thanks to the deep dive approach we take when it comes to evaluating fashion -- the trends, the specific pieces, the price points, the whole nine -- these purchases are usually...
Some of my favorite purchases start out with the phrase: "Well, these look stupid." I uttered those words before trying the infamous Nike Palazzo Pants i.e.: "The Original Stupid Pants." These Good Waist Palazzo Jeans by Good American were no exception.

Every year I try to find the shorts. You know, the ones to wear with everything...the unicorn of denim shorts that are comfortable but not frumpy, can be dressed up for dinner or thrown over a suit for the beach. The ONE pair I'm willing to spend money on because of price per wear. That pair.
Every year...
Some of you may remember I reviewed these beautiful Emerson Fry block printed cotton caftans last year...but these lovelies always sell out...every year. (Not a bad thing though, because we love that EF does sustainable, small-batch productions.) BUT...there are a bunch of gorgeous options in stock right now so I thought I best get on it and talk about...
A few articles ago, I had a "bleh" (technical term) try-on of the '90s Cheeky Jean from Everlane. Oh how I wanted these under $100 jeans to work. "Might as well also try on the MOTHER Denim Tomcat Ripped Crop Straight Leg Jeans I've been putting off just to cap off this failed try-on sesh," I thought grimly to...
My very stylish friend Jennifer in Brooklyn asked for a tank dress roundup after I styled up the Lululemon Brunch & Back dress here a few weeks ago. Black tank dresses are definitely a staple for me in warmer weather, so it was time for a revisit to see what's currently out there and to help my girl out.
Summer...
