My favorite jeans always end up being from Madewell.  Their fit works best for a mom who wants to be cool but functional.

Hands down my favorite pair of joggers. They work for lazy lounging days to running errands or working out. High quality and worth the price.

I love these jeans, they are so soft and they fit at just the right area on my waist. I have them in two colors. The best part is they were $25.00!

I love a good pair of loose fitting cargo pants for the Spring & Summer. These have a drawstring and are a little cropped (and probably from a few years ago) but there are lots of current options that are tapered and longer. A great option for Mo...

This AE cream utility/cargo pant is really versatile and really comfortable. I like to roll the bottom to give them a shorter look, and I paired it with a white blouse to dress it up and it worked really well. I felt put together, but still kind of c...

Full transparency I was a little worried about being able to pull off this skirt. But after getting it home I'm excited. I think I can pair it with some high boots as well and a cozy sweater and it will look very stylish.

Tops

You'd be accurate to say I'm in my oversized fit era. I'm tiny up top so I don't like to show my smaller build all the time. Plus oversized is so comfortable.

I'm in a major oversized phase right now and this tee hits all the notes. It's comfortable and affordable and it only gets better the more you wear it.  I also love all the color options.

I love this basic tee because its not basic at all. The fabric is so buttery soft, the color this creamy light tan/beige and a higher neckline (not like turtleneck) just slightly higher than your traditional crew neck

Never going back. Why it took me so long to switch to Bombas is something I'll never know. Don't let the price scare you they are worth every penny.  The company also is a 10/10, I had one tiny issue and they replaced my item for free, no questions asked and were very generous about it.

I'm creeping into my early 40's (I'm not there yet but soon!) I'm also thin but a Mom of three young kids so I prefer a suit that isn't a string bikini but I'm also not totally into all one pieces. These are some of my favorites that I still feel goo...

About 5 years ago I finally stopped buying bathing suits from Target and invested in one that was a little pricer. Wow was that a great decision and I should have done it a lot earlier.  I love my athleta bikini and it's lasted me for years! Unlike the Target suits that I usually get one season out of at best. Spend the money on something that is better quality you won't regret.
