Readers, meet Susannah. She wrote:
Hi Shana – Just wanted to say thank you for the Glam Up Your Momiform post. I am due to move from Sydney Australia to Hong Kong in about 4 days with my husband and two children… and so almost all of my clothes are on a big boat in the middle of the ocean. But a last minute surprise farewell at a moderately hip japanese restaurant necessitated that I find something to wear (that wasn't a t-shirt and shorts). I had read your blog that morning and managed to find jeans, shirt, necklace and pumps. It wasn't colourful and festive like your outfit – but it did the trick!
Thanks so much – your blog is really incredibly helpful for those of us who have ZERO interest in clothes shopping but like looking somewhat up-to-date. I have told countless friends and they have all gleaned something from reading your articles: better jeans, how to wear ankle boots and nursing friendly fashion.

Whoa, girl. You look seriously amazing. And the nuetral pallette really, really works. I'm starting a round of the slow clap right now. Mamas, feel free to join in: clap…..clap….CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Susannah, thank you so much for taking the time to snap a pic and sending it on. I love seeing how our styling tips get translated…and serve as a fresh dose of inspiration for all of us.
Mwah!

Wow. I LOVE the buttoned up collar with the necklace on the front of the shirt. I love a good button down, but I’ve never tried wearing them like that! Thanks for giving me something to try the next time I get dressed up!
ROCKED it! Looking like a young Lauren Hutton does not hurt….but, Susannah, you look aMAZing!
Love it all. You look beautiful!
This is Great! And yes, I will second the Lauren Hutton comment 😉 Way to pull together a great classic outfit *last minute*!
You look great! And I second what Shelly said about the buttoned up collar and necklace. I would not have thought to do that, but it works. I usually go the hussy route and unbutton MORE. 😉
Love everything about how this outfit is put together. The shade of the jeans, the turn ups and the nude pumps give it such a classic yet very modern look with the necklace. Also – it doesn’t hurt to look like a young Lauren Hutton does it like Maggie said above.
I’m glad you reminded me now that I have a statement necklace which I haven’t looked at in 2 years..
Gorgeous! Susannah you rock!
