I had a wedding to go to today, and the reception was going to be outside. It was supposed to be a humid, 90 degree day, so I knew I needed something cool. It ended up storming on us, and I left the wedding reception a bit early with my son. Not a fan of […]

Wardrobe staple – white top with a flounce
By Stacy on June 21, 2016I was supposed to be working on a casual wardrobe, and this ended up not being so casual. It is more of a dressy top to wear to work in the summer, but that is okay. I needed this! It fits a little tight, since it is a rayon with lycra, so not as much […]

The kids are just so busy right now that I didn’t have a lot of time (baseball practice, softball game, softball practice, baseball game, tournaments all weekend long…). Then…swimsuit pictures. Oy. So […]
Now that summer has arrived, and I am sitting at baseball games and tournaments for hours on end, I have come to the realization that I don’t have much to wear. I have a fairly decent work wardrobe (though I could use some new tops), but casual is not good at all. I’d like to […]
