I’ve recently been looking online for a new dress to wear to a wedding in Florida. What better place to start than Lilly Pulitzer? Their dresses are always fun and summery, perfect for beach weddings. I stumbled across this wrap/cape scenario and I think it is a must have! Throw it on with jeans or white jeans and you immediately look classy and put together. AND it looks super comfy. Win-Win. So what do you think?? Is this not the cutest wrap ever!!

Not Your Daughter’s Jeans (NYDJ) are unreal. I had heard of the brand for a while, but thought – as the name states – that they were more for moms. And then I was at Nordstrom Rack…and boom! There were a lot of the Not Your Daughter’s Jeans on the racks. I had just recently heard from my mom that my aunt raved about her NYDJ and said my mom HAD to try them. So I thought, why not. I’ll give them a try. I needed a new pair of jeans. I tried them on, and was so shocked. I have gained about 20 pounds in the last few months, and jeans/pants were just in general not looking good. But the NYDJ jeans looked great on me! Theyslimmed my stomach, and got rid of my love handles! They come up higher than normal jeans(around my belly button) but it’s perfect because then you don’t have the love handles popping out. They also have a hint of stretch, which makes them comfy and slightly more forgiving. I was shocked and very happy. It sounds corny, but my new NYDJ really helped my self confidence. I’ve slowly been working on loosing the weight I gained, but I am happy to know that I have a pair of jeans I feel comfortable wearing until that happens.

Not Your Daughter’s Jeans are sold at many major department stores. If they are too pricy for you, check out Nordstrom Rack. I got mine at a very good price!

An Ode to Yoga Pants

Do you ever have those days when you just don’t want to go to work? When you can’t get out of bed and you snooze your alarm for 30 minutes, until you finally have to jump up and throw something on to make it on time? Well that was me today. But lucky for me, I work at a ski resort, where there isn’t a dress code. Yes, there is a slight dress code depending on what department you work in. But lucky for me, I have a great boss and co-workers, and a hidden desk job where no customers have to see me. Which means – no dress code! This gives me the freedom on days like today, when I couldn’t get out of bed until 20 minutes before I was supposed to be at work, to throw on yoga pants. YOGA PANTS!! In any normal corporate job, this would NOT be okay. But somehow I have found the only job that utilizes my college business degree skills, while still giving me the freedom to dress how I would like. So fine, I might not make as much as an investment banker in NYC, but at least I get to be comfy while compiling my reports. (Today I literally sat in a 4 hour long meeting, wearing a tshirt, fleece, yoga pants, and socks. No shoes. Just socks. Because how I am going to sit cross-legged in my chair if i have shoes on? It’s not possible. And who likes to be uncomfortable in a 4 hour long meeting?? Not me!) No heels required, no suits required, no makeup required. Let’s be real – not even shoes are technically required. When I sit back and think about my options, I realize I actually have it pretty good.

So today this post is dedicated to yoga pants. May you continue to be part of my dress code. And may others one day get to wear you as part of theirs.

xoxo ❤
