Dressy shorts are the cornerstone of my new favorite holiday look. They manage to convey the feeling of a little cocktail dress, but can be paired with a warm, cozy sweater and sleek tights. I can also bend down and pick up the little man, sit on the floor, or do other various mom maneuvers without worrying about accidental...
I love my fancy pants. I actually bought these babies...OMG...wait...6? No...7 years ago? Could that be right? Anyway, these are one of my favorite things to pull on when I'm having a "I'm too cold to go out and WAAAY to cold to pull on a cocktail dress" moment.

Girls, meet Evyan, our super stylish November Mom. Not only does she have one of the coolest names I've ever heard, she is wearing an outfit that I could call, "How Moms Can Look Smokin' Hot in Leggings". At the park, no less. That's hardcore dedication to hotness. Confession - Evyan has said that she wasn't PLANNING to...

When enlisting my hubby's help in finalizing the top ten best Winter Party Shoes For Moms, there were two pairs of shoes that I found completely fabulous and sexy and fashion forward. But, to my surprise, not only did the love of my life not like them, he hated them. With a passion that surprised me, coming from such...
As part of our Winter Shoe Essentials for Moms post, we stated that all moms must have in her closet one sexy, go-to shoe for all events formal, for all date-nights hot, and for all parties wild.
