When we decided to do leather for our next round of "Trying Out a Trend," I had grand visions of leather pants or a leather pencil skirt. But, I'm just not sure I could pull of leather leggings (actually, I know it. I tried some on a few weeks ago and they were decidedly not that flattering on me). And my goal, always, when I do clothing posts is to share outfits I actually wear in real, child-chasing, life. So, in the end, I went tried-and-true with my leather (so much for branching out). ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Pants for Fall
I default to blue jeans. I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I'm an American. And it's (kind of) fall. IT IS MY RIGHT TO WEAR BLUE JEANS. But still. It's nice to have a few other options in your closet, especially when, like me, you actually only own one pair of blue jeans you really like. If you'd told me two years ago, that my other two favorite pairs of pants would be a pair of red pants and a pair of black leggings, I wouldn't have believed you (I ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Make It Work
You know those items that, no matter how many times you purge your closet, you save? They never make the trip to Goodwill, but you also never actually wear them? Of course you don't know about those kinds of things. What sort of idiot would hold onto things they never wear? (We're speaking, obviously, about half of my closet). For this round of Raiding My Sister's Closet, we all picked something that was languishing in our closet. Something we rarely or never wore for whatever ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: End-of-Summer Wishlist
I love the change of seasons, especially the switch from summer to fall. This may possibly be influenced by having a fall birthday. Possibly. Right now, I'm prepping for a low-key homeschool pre-K with Ella, so most of my shopping is of the scholastic variety. But, obviously, shopping, even pretend shopping, for myself is more fun. Here's a few things I have my eye on. Crown Vintage Alice Oxford. I totally love these shoes (and all the Oxford-style shoes ... Read More about Raiding My Sister’s Closet: End-of-Summer Wishlist
Raiding My Sister’s Closet: One Outfit, Accessorized Three Ways
Operation: Stop Choosing Neutral Clothing continues. This red dress, for one. It just looks happy hanging in my closet (or maybe it's just that I'm so happy to have a closet that isn't the size of a pack-n-play. Can't be sure). But if there's one thing I've learned from my two rockstar sisters, it's that you can wear something more than one way (this may truly have blown my mind). This edition, we're playing around with one outfit styled three different ways. Or it ... Read More about Raiding My Sister’s Closet: One Outfit, Accessorized Three Ways
