Death to the diaper bag

November 21, 2006

One of the things I love about going to work is the fact that I don’t have to wear my diaper bag.  I get to wear a big-girl-all-grown-up-regular purse instead.  When I was pregnant of course, choosing a good diaper bag was a highlight.  Some of my friends went the Gucci route (way too expensive) while [...]

What’s wrong with being a stylish woman?

November 15, 2006

I don’t really understand all the gruff the Washington Post is taking for its article on Nancy Pelosi’s wardrobe.  Last week in the Arts & Living section (for the Fashion news beat for those who care) Robin Givhan wrote a story about what Nancy Pelosi wore the day after she presumably became the first woman speaker of the [...]

Bad hair moment

November 14, 2006

You can’t be a new mom, working or not working, with 1 kid or 11, without having had a bad hair day.  Hair is the one element of a mom’s appearance that’s most often made fun of (I’m still trying to forget Carol Brady’s mullet) but can make the most difference in how you look on a [...]

Nails on the run

October 31, 2006

I think all women should have good nails (call me old fashioned).  So I almost died and went to heaven when I came across this. It’s called the Manicure Pen and it professes to fix all nail issues on the fly. Perfect for business travel and moms on the go. As a woman obsessed with my nails, I can’t [...]

At least someone thinks this way

October 23, 2006

Apparently at least someone who works in the fashion industry is commenting on how hard it is to wear some of the latest trends to work.  And I echo her thoughts on where to find good trends that aren’t so expensive- especially for us working moms who are on a budget! On that note, why [...]

How to be a fashionable mom

October 18, 2006

An article about appropriate work-wear in the New York Times not only  got me thinking about what to wear to the office, but how to dress as a new mom. Having recently had a baby and gone through many body changes, I think dressing for the new “you” (inside and out) can be rather challenging. Being a mom requires [...]

Old Navy Kimono Sweater

October 16, 2006

  I just got this sweater today at Old Navy and my friend at work said she saw it in US Weekly this week. (I swear I don’t have a copy of the mag at my house).  I think it’s a perfect fall look for work – a little funky, yet it has classic lines.  [...]

Where the wild things are

October 16, 2006

This article in USA Today shows just how mainstream the wild print fashion craze has gotten. It’s trickled down from the runways and into the office. Now, everyone can wear animals! (Full disclosure: I picked up this season a fab pair of leopard print suede flats from Target (Isaac Mizrahi!)) but I’m not sure I [...]

To tie, or not to tie, that is the question

October 16, 2006

An article from Forbes.com got me thinking. What makes for appropriate interview dress? Have we moved past the “I need to wear a suit to an interview” days? Is it still the most appropriate way to dress for an interview with a prospective employer? We take appearance seriously where I work. It also helps that [...]
