Reader Ann sent in this adorable pic of the outfit she wore to a mommy-and-me gymnastics class. She styled her cardigan as a dress over a simple tee and leggings, then added tall boots. It's a cute outfit for running around town...then remove the cardi and boots and voila!! Here comes Mary Lou. And I love how she demonstrates...
While I'm still totally addicted to my pooch-hiding sweater, I do realize that once the temps warm up, I'm going to need a new alternative. The hunt is on! Or...was on, rather.
On a quick shopping trip right before I took the boys to Gulf Shores, I stumbled upon two gorgeous pieces that are pooch-hiding perfection.
They are effortless, cool...
Momiform Style Translation: Nautical Stripes and Military Boots (And an Option For Pregnant Gals)
Shana -
Sooo...I love pretty much everything about Vanessa Jackman's photo of Anne-Sophie at London's Fashion Week.
I love the little striped dress paired with slightly sheer/sexy tights and combat boots, and I even love the cracked-out hair and pop of red.
While the military-inspired-boots-and-floaty-dress combo is fairly standard, this combo of military with preppy stripes is equally brilliant, but much more...
There's been so much chatter lately about skinnies vs. flares that the poor boyfriend jeans have gotten lost in the shuffle.
But I still love boyfriend jeans. The biggest advantage to boyfriend jeans is that they show off cute footwear (like Jayme's gorgeous gray Fryes, which we first profiled here) or (my favorites) beautiful ballet flats...AND you can approximate...
Classic style. It conjures up images of Jackie O's shift dresses, Katherine Hepburn's wide-leg trousers, Audrey's iconic black turtleneck, Ralph Lauren's blazers. If your personal style is classic, you're in good company.
However, keeping a classic style both comfortable to meet the everyday demands of motherhood, and youthful can sometimes be a challenge. Reader Jacci left this comment on our...
Have you seen Isabella Oliver's Grecian tunic top? It retails for $129, and is, in my humble opinion, worth every penny. And then some.
I had my eye on this tunic for my pregnancy wardrobe for quite some time, and purchased it the second I found out I was pregnant with #2. I'm so glad I did. This tunic...
Amy and I did a closet consultation together last Fall. In preparation, she had pulled most of her clothes out of her closet. As we went through the consultation, I noticed this striped poncho hanging in the back. "Aim, what's this?" I asked.
"Oh, that's just some thing my mom picked up for a couple of bucks at a...
You know how when women live together their menstrual cycles synch up? Well....no sooner had I jotted down a note in my idea file, "try wearing long cardi as a dress"...than Em (our much-loved nanny) showed up in this little number.
Whoa. We're sartorially synching.
But seriously - let's discuss. The looong cardigan? Try wearing it as a dress. It...
I've been on a quest to find the perfect pair of flare jeans. My problem, however, is that while many people lie about their age, I lie about my height. And while it's one thing to tailor a pair of skinny jeans, tailoring 6" off of a pair of fabulous flare jeans...results in a weird-looking pair of skinnies. So...
Beyond the Empire-Waist: The New Shape of Pooch-Hiding Sweaters (Perfect Now and Into Spring)
Shana -
After R was born, pooch-hiding was a cinch. Empire-waisted tanks, sweaters, & tops were everywhere. This time around? The whole empire-waist silhouette feels a bit...tired. Boring, even. Instead of looking cute and fresh, my trusty empire-waisted tops are just making me look (and feel) pregnant. (It could just be that my pooch is bigger this time around. But...
