10th Commandment: May 5

Tailored Shirt Dress (Asos, $89)

If I buy this dress (and I’m seriously considering it), I’m going to do two things.  1) I’m going to size up and have it altered because I’ll want the top snug and a little room in the skirt.  2) I’m going to have the fly (why it’s even there is beyond me) sewn down so that it doesn’t pucker.  

Look for Less

    This is my favorite color! WOW…so difficult to find.

  2. Katie says:

    Gorgeous!! Looking at the model from the back though, I can only imagine what my booty would look like in this =( haha

    can i advise against purchasing this? everything I have ever bought from ASOS is absolute crap

  4. k says:

    That is a gorgeous color. But, like Katie said – what is going on with the models butt? If she's straining the fabric, I'm not sure there's any hope in getting my butt (that runs on around 2 sizes bigger than my top) to look nice without basically ripping the whole dress apart and starting over.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
