Outfits of the Day #ootd
I love to put together outfits. I find something calming and exciting in the process. And if I think I look good, I tend to feel great! Hopefully, you can find some inspiration here for feeling amazing in your own body.

Androgynous Chic and White Jeans
I recently obtained my first pair of white jeans. And I went for the skinny ones! It took me until I was in my 40’s to have the confidence to even try white jeans and I do admit that I was a little nervous wearing them, especially dealing with two young boys all day! But my white jeans and I both made it through the day in tact (although the boys were in day care for 4 hours of the day, so maybe that’s cheating!). I found these NYDJ white skinny jeans on the clearance rack at Burlington Coat Factory. I was not familiar with this brand, but was curious…

Lunch and Errands
Today, after I dropped the kids at daycare, I had a few hours to run some errands and enjoy a leisurely lunch with my best friend E and my mother-in-law.

So after playing with layers of lightweight cardigans and chambray shirts, I chose this indigo tank with white stripes and layered a thin scarf around my neck for some extra detail on an otherwise boring outfit. I…

Church and Church Appropriate Attire
First, let me start by telling you that I am not a strict church-goer. In fact, after college where I completed a Minor in Religious Studies and analyzed the world’s major religious belief systems in an intensely academic way, I was completely turned off to all religion for a very long time. However, this past winter while my husband was away on a painfully extended training trip which lasted from the first week of January until the last week of February, I decided it was a good time to see what church could offer me at this point in my life. I was alone with my two young sons braving…
