Last fall and winter, I engaged in what I will call the Season of Bad Decisions. This involved me deciding that donuts don't actually have calories, and wine is good for you. In other words, NO.
I hopped on the scale two days after Christmas, because I really needed to add to my post-holiday depression. I was noticing clothes were fitting slightly less comfortably, so I anticipated a minimal and (not at ALL alarming) 5 lb gain or so.

Well, unless you guys live under a rock somewhere, then you have heard about the Shopbop sale that is currently being shoved down your throat by bloggers everywhere. (it's okay. It's what we do.) Here are my picks, along with an idea of what may or may not be going to a good home in my closet very shortly....(let's say it together) unless you are John, in which case it's not.

Most of the moms I know love a shirt that covers the hiney. (We also love to say embarrassing things like "hiney." #sorrynotsorry).
This one is particularly fun, because it's got that high-low, knotted front thing going on. I added a tank underneath in a contrasting color. Mainly because I'm 36 and ain't nobody need to see me in a crop top, m-kay?

dear coffee,
I love you. You give me ALL THE FEELS. I know that I could not go a day without you, and although some might feel that is slightly rash or completely shameful, I literally do NOT GIVE A FLYING FLIP.
I love you like my 3rd child. Except that you GIVE me energy. So there may be (ARE.) days where you're totally my favorite. Shhhh. Don't tell the others.

But very, very occasionally, I am WRONG.
(Unless you are John, in which case I AM NOT and I never said I was.)

Let's be honest, joggers are socially acceptable sweatpants. And for that, I APPLAUD THEM.
They look cute with sneaks. They look cute with heels. They look cute with tees, and some five dollar bills.
(UM. Yes. There are so many things wrong with me. Namely, that I believe I'm Dr. Suess.)

We made it people. It's Friday. And can I just say that, between a 3 year old who apparently only speaks "whinese," and a 7 year old who thinks everything is THE WORST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO HER IN HER ENTIRE LIFE, well....I"m about to lose my ever-loving mind.

not gonna lie, when I first donned this jacket, I felt a little "Pink Ladies" about it. (And if you aren't old enough to need Botox, then you probably don't know what I'm talking about.) Let's just say, it definitely falls outside of my typical style wheelhouse....but, you know what they say....wheelhouses are made to be broken. Or something like that.
Read MoreWe all know parenting can be a little scary. And if I'm being honest, nothing strikes fear into my heart like the dreaded school email. You know what I'm talking about. The ones that go a little something like this:

Every once in awhile, an outfit comes along and you quickly recognize it as the outfit version of a soulmate.
Because that's not weird. AT ALL.
This is my outfit soulmate. I mean, it's a graphic tee with a built in choker (just marinate on that awesomeness for a minute), a leather jacket, studded booties, and gray distressed jeans. Yes, yes, yes, and HECKS YES, people!
