The Edition: No. 90

Apr 9, 2019

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. — Harry S. Truman

Teed. This $30 Banana Republic t-shirt has a shirttail hem. So good!

Numbers. How old is 37? Depends on your gender.

Frocked. $75 dresses at Ann Taylor (petite and tall).  I grabbed this pretty floral.

Sold. Inside the Trader Joe’s black market. Who needs Everything Bagel seasoning?

Relaxed. Bought both the white and teal in this dress for casual Fridays.

Boosted. Three salary negotiating mistakes, and how to avoid them.

Brighten. This illuminator is great for a subtle glow, especially on tired skin.

Admitted. A D.C. school tries to stop parents from sabotaging other student’s futures so that their kids can get ahead. (When did college admissions become House of Cards?)

Bagged. Rebecca Minkoff sale — Love this crossbody and grey satchel.

Played. Why don’t female candidates get asked about their hobbies?

My friend, Barb, is an incredible person.  She and her partner Jayne have built an amazing business.  She is so devoted to her two boys.  But the has a weird fetish…one that causes her to make dioramas with Peeps.  Luckily she lives in a city that embraces that.

Washingtonian did a fun profile about her work.  And you can follow her creations on Instagram at We The Peeple.

November AMA: You Asked, I Answered

Another month has come and gone, and between a busy work schedule, illness and the search for new childcare, I almost forgot to ask for questions for the AMA.  Luckily, I remembered late last night.  So here we go.

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
