For a couple of years now, Reformation has been the biggest thing in dresses.  With high slits, flirty silhouettes, and feminine prints, their wares are certainly lovely (especially this Wildflower dress), but a little pricey.  So when you find a dress that has that Reformation look at a less-than-Reformation-price, you snap it up.

My pajama kick continues.  All I want at the end of a 12-hour day is to curl up in my pjs and snuggle the pups.  It’s what my soul needs. But my newfound pajama addiction could get expensive.  So here’s where I’m shopping for affordable pajamas.

Lingerie: The best thing about Valentine’s Day.  Because if you must have a commercialized holiday to “celebrate love,” stores filled with lacy and racy things is a good side benefit.

What is a “party blouse?”  It’s a blouse in a fun fabric or cool print that can be worn to work or to a holiday party.  Essentially, you lose the blazer/cardigan, add some statement jewelry, smear on more eyeliner and a little lipstick, and voila!  Party blouse becomes party outfit.

I don’t usually embrace holiday-themed attire.  There are no ugly sweaters in my closet, no pumpkin earrings, no flag-print t-shirts.  But Valentine’s Day gives me an excuse to wear obnoxiously pink attire without shame.

The pre-Valentine’s Day lingerie post is one my favorites.  Last year, we talked about how to choose the lingerie that’s right for you, from comfort level to cost.  So refer to that post if you’re new to the lingerie game.  For everyone else, let’s go shopping.

Apologies for the radio silence.  I’ve picked up a nasty cold, and am trying to get well before the holidays.  But I wanted to talk about some affordable New Year’s Eve attire to help you ring in 2018 in style.

Just because it’s not Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean we can’t talk about lingerie (see January’s post, here).  Pretty underthings are a good buy any time of year.  Here are the best lingerie and sleepwear picks for the end-of-summer.

I reject the notion that a bikini body should be anything other than your regular body, with a bikini on it.  That being said, my new job has upped my weekly McDonald’s consumption by like 350%.  So none of my bikinis currently fit.
