Modcloth is a great place to shop for reasonably priced vintage reproductions and indie labels. They always have something cute that catches my eye. And now they’re instituting “Twelvsies Tuesdays”, a weekly sale where 12 items are 12% off. These are newish items, not older stock, like your usual sale. In other words, things that won’t be on sale if you check back on Wednesday, so I feel like it is my duty to spread the word.

With two children under four, I don’t have a lot of time to get dressed, or even to shower, every day. As a fan of Elle Canada, I get Facebook notifications of what’s going on on the Elle Canada website. One of the notifications that comes in very handy is the Look of the Day, and today’s look in particular (check it out) is a definite thumbs up. However, as a self-respecting woman with the average mom’s belly pooch, I cannot bring myself to wear the featured trendy pleated shorts. I’ve got to modify for …read more

As a plus woman, do you have issues with shorts? As excited as I get when the weather gets roasty, I do run into problems where I wonder exactly what I should wear. Do I wear shorts, a skirt? Arg. I wish I could wear maxi dresses all season long!
I headed over to Torrid to see if I could shake my irrational seasonal fear of shorts. What do you think of my pick? I think they’ll do a marvelous job of covering up problem legs, and no one will be the wiser!
Check them out at Torrid!

Fashion Police sirens were blaring earlier this week when Pamela Anderson strutted her stuff down the “Red” Carpet for the grand opening for the Grand Opening of restaurant in New York City. But, why, would the fashion Police be following around Pamela Anderson? Umm..because they’re always following her around. 
 

Did you catch this hideous outfit? Pam, darling, you’re a mother. You may still be a “babe” to some people, but you are not strutting your stuff down the beaches of Baywatch anymore. Put the girls back in the top and learn that hot pants are not one of the trends that …read more

There are many names for this trend, the walking short, the city short, the Bermuda short…whatever it is. I’ve given in. I have one pair. Count ‘em. One. And they’re going to increase come the warmer months. But, like so many of these fancy spring trends, how do you wear them without looking like a fool?
One: Pick the right style
There are super tight walking shorts and there are wider legged shorts. If you’re skinny the tighter ones work well for you. Go for it girl! I wish I had it. But, if those shorts are going to cling to your …read more

It’s only April and I’ve seen it already!! I know that pantyhose will give the illusion of a tan, but it is a really bad, bad idea. It looks so out-dated and not necessary any longer as we have all the great self tanners at our disposal.
And then if the pantyhose has a run… oh, I just don’t want to think about it.
