All last week, Superman, Raines and I were relaxing oceanside in Gulf Shores. We had gone down to visit my parents, who, since turning sixty-something have become devoted snowbirds.

Maternity workwear. Isn't that phrase just so...depressing? Ugh. It conjures up images of schlumpy, black, ill-fitting suits and those awful maternity button-down shirts. (shudder)
We can do better, Mamas.
I threw together a small Spring capsule wardrobe for working mamas-to-be. And it's almost completely post-partum friendly, and much of it is pumping-friendly. But best of all? Maternity workwear (blaaaah) has come...
It's March. Know what that means? Sigh. I'm about ready to burn my skinnies. Like, literally burn them. As a sacrifice to the weather gods to BRING ME SOME SUN ALREADY. I mean, it feels like Spring...in my heart. BOOOO
As a sanity saving measure, I'm wearing a skirt.
Long-time readers may recall my love affair with bandage minis last summer....
Mamas!! We're starting a new monthly series called How We Wear It, where *we* show all of the different ways we're rocking a wardrobe basic. And by "we" I mean...all y'all. If there was One. Thing. you readers communicated LOUD AND CLEAR via our survey, it's this: You want to see a wider range of body types represented...
Goodness. Could Grace get any cuter?
After our recent article on puffer vests, Grace wrote:
I was SO excited to see your post on puffers following your post on maternity coats because vests have been a wardrobe staple/workhorse for me all winter. I had my third baby on December 30th and didn't want to buy a maternity coat (so I didn't)...
Sick of skinnies and boots yet? Me too. And since Spring is promising to bring destroyed denim in a big, big way, I find myself wanting to bust them out now. (In 30 degree weather yesIknow.)
Since I routinely wear my fleece-lined Plush tights under jeans when it's really, really cold....why not let 'em show?
How 99.9% of our pics...
Mamas! I had the pleasure of working with this hot Mama a couple of months ago:
Jenna had emailed me because she bought a pair of ankle boots but they...just...weren't...working. She sent pics, saying:
I bought these coach priscilla booties at a great sale at bloomingdales but every time I try them on with skinny jeans, leggings or tights they look weird....
Mamas, I have some new favorite pants.
Yup. They're a clean, dark wash. And nope: they're not coated or patterned, embellished or embroidered. They are just....plain 'ol denim. And not skinny! (Shocking, I know.) They have a straight leg and a mid-rise. They practically scream WE ARE NOT EXCITING!
And I realize that dark, clean denim seems like an odd choice,...
Happy Valentine's Day, Mamas!! Piperlime is offering 20% sitewide until midnight tonight with the code XOXO. They do this a few times a year, and I try to take advantage by stocking up on pieces that might otherwise be outside of my comfort or price range. Here are a few items that I've had my eye on...all would be...
As you may recall, one of my New Year's Style Resolutions was to find the perfect white tee. So. As part of that quest, I'll be posting these T-Shirt Showdowns throughout the year. The Showdown is where I'll compare two similar (or similar-ish) tees to see which one makes the cut.
First up? A rather unusual pairing: the tragically hip...
