Best of Labor Day Sales

I’m such a rebel wearing white after Labor Day.  But come on, you know I don’t believe in that made up rule, right?  I read once that a women’s magazine in the 1950s declared that rule (and it stuck) but rules are meant for breaking. Check out some of Labor Day sales that I found: […]

My Sometimes Mom Style: Comfy Cool with Monrow

I have a confession:  I always swore I wouldn’t be the mom who started dressing down just because I had kids.  And at first I didn’t–but I had a 9-5 job in fashion that required some dressing up, meeting with clients or brands and setting the tone for the style in the office. Now, I […]

Would You Wear a Belt Bag?

Belt bag, fanny pack, hip pouch – what do you call it?  Basically, this baby is a hands-free bag and with the 90s revival happening as of late, they’ve been all the rage.  I had one growing up (who didn’t) and definitely didn’t think I’d be rocking a nylon one again as an adult.  The […]

Late Summer Dress

Well, hey there!  I’m back after a little hiatus (and it was lovely being able to unplug).  August is a bittersweet month for me as I get excited for fall but hate saying goodbye to summer.  If winter could just be milder, Chicago would be the best city in the world!  But I digress–here’s what’s […]

The White Denim Mini Skirt

I had some hesitation about going back into denim miniskirt territory but ultimately took the plunge.  How is it different than the jean shorts I wear all summer, really?  What ultimately held me back was the underlying association I have with denim mini skirts: high school (and I probably wore them in college, too).  I […]

Red Maxi Dress

I liked this red maxi dress wayyyy more than I thought I would.  The deep V is so flattering (I wear a stick-on bra with it but you could totally wear a lacy bralette that could peek out and look like it should) and the color is just perfection.  I have a wedding to attend […]
