We had the most amazing Saturday. It was our long-anticipated day date (aka my Christmas and Valentine's Day present). And while I had visions of waltzing around the city in something wildly glamorous...Saturday was a mushpot of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. So instead, I wore this:
We started at the Art Museum, where we - get this - wandered...
Denim sales abound! And many of the styles I've featured here on ANMJ are now on sale....
Moto Denim
Remember how we were all drooling over cozy sweaters and moto pants? Yes. Exactly. And how awesome are preppy white jeans as moto denim? (ps. The Free People Moto previously featured are also on sale.)

I. Am. Done. IAMDONE. That fact makes my head spin a little bit...it doesn't feel real. I don't have any more medications to take. No more shots. No more IVs, or bone pain, or nausea. The big stuff? The really tough stuff? Is over.
There are times when I feel a sense of excitement (Yay for me! I made it!!!)....but...
For a while, sitting upright in a chair was insanely uncomfortable. So we got in the habit of packing the car with some food (and creatively disguised booze), throwing in our trusty mat, and heading out to find a cool park.
It's really hard to beat Drexel Park. Right?
R is obsessed with paper airplanes so that's what we do. Over...
Mamas, Abby sent in this adorable picture of herself on her way to a baby shower. She writes:
I have been a huge fan of yours since discovering your blog after the birth of my Daughter. She is my second child and was born C-Section due to her being breach. I was so discouraged and frustrated with my body changes...
Readers Lauren, Ginny, Maggie and Kendra called me out recently (in the comments section of this article) for always showing so much leg. Lauren started the chain with this comment:
So many of the looks and trends you feature and recommend are leg-centric. Which look great on lots of ladies, just not me. And, I suspect, on lots of other...
Every party has a pooper and on St. Patrick's Day that's me. Seriously. I love the day: the parades, the beer, the greasy food - really what's not to love? But I hate the expectation to wear green, or some stupid button that reads "Kiss Me I'm Irish". But people get SERIOUS about their St. Patrick's Day outfits....
Mamas, I have always had a soft spot for geeks. I, myself, am a geek. I married a geek. And, if I do my job correctly, my sons will also grow up to be geeks.
Go geeks, go.
(wearing: J. Crew sweater, J Brand cropped denim - similar here, Gap leopard-print socks, Sperry woven loafers)
The advantage to all of this...
What do you think, Mamas? Is the animal print denim trend too young, a way to freshen up the same ‘ole mom uniform, another ploy to keep skinny denim alive and kicking? Tell us whether you’re hopping on the the printed denim bandwagon and how or why not!
I know the buzz this fall is all about the flare jean, and I get it - I too luuuve flares. However, I recently replaced my old boyfriend jeans (which, uh, had literally fallen apart) with these babies:
These are like a hybrid boyfriend jean /skinny jean. The result? Crazy comfortable, yet they look a bit sleeker than my old...
