Asos

I would hang up your fringe skirts for another season and stock up on the pleats. Pleated skirts and maxi dresses move beautifully and show no signs of moving on. I, of course, love them with all black. No brainer. And if I could order them in a girl’s size 6, I’d be even more overjoyed. See also how I styled THIS olive look. Meanwhile, hubs and I are working on an exciting project, grappling with creating something completely new, teaching ourselves and staying motivated to always work hard and juggle family life. Sorry to be vague, but more details to follow. Your dreams should push you, move you to unchartered territory, and ultimately scare you. Dream big! What’s the biggest dream you’ve had?

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. – MLK jr.

Are you still reeling from the weekend and need some outfit inspo? Fall is a great time to experiment with proportions and layering and can be dressed up or down. I’m planning on wearing this combo with sneakers for school drop off next week. Next week!! What’s your favorite laying pieces?

It’s really unusual to find a date night dress I don’t hate for under $40. But I did the research for you and here it is. Plus, if you’re looking for some day date (or date night) eats, here’s my short list I-can’t-wait-to-try:

Huckleberry  (after my sister’s rave reviews)

Sqirl LA since we are as much about day dates as we are brioche and poached eggs

71Above eat above the top of the US Bank tower, yes please!

Life is too short not to know about ASOS under $50 scores. I mean, SO GOOD. Tip: If you’re unsure about sizing, order both. You can easily return the one that doesn’t fit since there is free shipping both ways. My mailman is sweet enough to take my returns or I pack the kids in the car and drive to our post office a couple blocks away. Either way, it’s pretty easy!
