The Power of Accessories

Roll on over to Life As Mom and check out my guest post about Accessorizing Yourself!

Honest confession, I have been too exhausted to put my contacts on. Which means I have to literally stick my face IN my makeup bag to see what I’m pulling out. I’d say I’m “as blind as a bat”, but wouldn’t that mean I’d have no sight AND also have sonar capabilities? 😉

So simple. So effective.

And I’ll leave you with a little story.

One night last week, as we walked out of Home Depot and Liam carried the box of things we just purchased, a lady, who had parked right near the exit to the store, asked us “Is that my box of stuff?”

Flustered and completely confused, I replied, “No, we just bought this.”

She then said, “Well, EXCUUUUUUUSE me.” (As if we had just offended her.)

I really don’t know what to make of this little conversation. Did she think a 4-year-old worked at Home Depot and was bringing out a box to her?! So very random.

Have a fabulous day!!

Closet Staple: Jean Jacket

Posted on

I have had this jacket for years and it is one of the most worn items in my closet.

I love that it can be paired with any dress, skirt or skinny jean combo and matches practically everything.

When purchasing a jean jacket look for:

1. A smaller size. A larger size or even your normal size, could add unnecessary bulk. Aim for one size smaller than you usually wear.

2. A lightweight fabric. A jacket that is softer will be easier to move in, give you a softer look and obviously be more comfortable. If possible, buy a used jacket for that already “lived-in” feel.

3. A medium-colored wash. This color will have the most versatility and will transcend trends, therefore extending the amount of time you’ll be able to wear it.

If you haven’t yet, you should consider adding a jean jacket to your wardrobe soon!
