I'm not one to sacrifice comfort for fashion, and never is this more true than in FEBRUARY. It's cold, it's dark, and screw red roses - I want black Calla lilies for Valentine's Day. (Or vibrators, haha.) In any case, this is a long-winded explanation for my recent sweatshirt habit (which has been well-documented on my Insta account, @shanachristine).
So obviously,...
Date night! They seem to be few and far between these days. But Sienna's preschool had an amazing thing last week...PJ movie night at the school so the parents could have a night off! Brilliant. I vote more of these, for reals.
I'd been wanting to try these Gap Black Flares for a while. I was in the store the...
I've talked before about how boyfriend jeans are slimming down - the new phrase is girlfriend jeans - and how much more flattering this new shape is. You guys obviously agree - this pair of girlfriend jeans was one of the most-purchased items by TME readers in 2015. (Those jeans are sold out, but the newer, lighter wash is currently...
If you've been reading the blog for awhile, you may already know that I'm (ahem) a bit cheaper when it comes to clothes. I am willing to spend a little more on items here and there, but they need to be worth it. I think reader Shannon put it best: "...If I'm paying $150+ for jeans I want my...
A while back I had offered - in response to a comment - to go shopping with a reader. I was delighted when Shannon took me up on the offer. She shot over this email:
I'm a 40yo mom of 2 and work full-time in center city. I get most of my casual boyfriend jeans at the Gap Outlet on...
Why would you want to wear workout tops with jeans? Well, we're talking seriously durable tech fabric that's moisture-wicking and warm, stretchy and soft AND can be thrown in the washer and dryer. Did I mention comfortable?? These tops are the perfect addition to your wardrobe whether you're going to the gym, running errands or sitting on the couch...
I have these cotton tunic tops that I ordered in a few different colors and I love them. I wear them A LOT. It's great having something at this point in my pregnancy that's comfortable and easy to throw on with jeans. Especially if it's black and slimming (as slimming as a piece of clothing can be at 9...
A reader recently asked about maternity flares - whether they can actually be styled in a way that looks good, even with a bump...considering that the BIG thing right now is high waists and tucked in tops. Since tucking in a top is literally impossible for those of us that are pregnant (ya know, the whole no-waist no-hips thing),...
Ummm. Did 30 days of pregnancy really just go by like that? It seems to speed by faster and faster with each child and that's exciting/scary/awesome/crazy/...help me. I will have three kids in just over three months. iiiiiiiiy. I clearly need emojis for my posts.
Anyways, let me get down to bidness. It has been thirty days (or so)...
Have you picked up a pair of boyfriend jeans lately? Like Caitlyn, they are transitioning. The boyfriend jean used to be the ultimate man-repeller, the female version of chewing tobacco. Wide, cropped legs, large droopy bums - these jeans were not the stuff of date nights. But lately, boyfriend jeans have been slimming down. The cut is slimmer on...
