Get a Fast Start on Holiday Dresses.....

1. BCBG - this would be great for an office party with a high bun or ponytail to show off the lower back
2. Nordstrom ASTR - Basic black is perfect for the holidays
3. ASOS wrap dress- very festive!
4. Jumpsuit - I'm obsessed with jumpsuits and believe they can substitute for a dress
5. Girly Lace 

Best Foot Forward- Shoes that are semi-stylish and can be worn running around doing errands?

1. Steve Madden Troopa - I have a pair of these and over skinny jeans or leggings that are great to run around town in (with or without the kids)
2. Rain Boots - I prefer rain boots to real snow boots bc you can put on high wool socks and wear them in snow and then use them for rainy fall/spring days with a thinner sock
3. Chuck Taylors- I had these in red and wore them everywhere
4. Bright Smoking Loafers- Pair these with a brightly patterned sock, jeans and a sweater and you   mastered comfy chic
5. Over the knee flat boots- and yes, real leather

Working it out.... (with sweat)

So this post relates to workout gear.... I'll admit that I haven't done a good job of breaking a sweat with exercise since Marlowe's birth, but every mom will attest to wearing workout clothes despite a gym. Also, while lulu does have amazing stuff, their prices are ridic! Here are some other options that look just as nice!

1. Jacket- TjMaxx (a wonderful place for workout gear if you're willing to search)
2. Skinny Yoga Pant
3. Workout Top and Hi-waisted legging (thank you Jesus)
4. Sports Bra- I have these and actually love them
5. Capris and a Sweatshirt
6. Shoes to "run" around in (extra 30% off with code)

Working it out.....

Honestly, work is an area I hate dressing for.....but I found some cute pieces that could be worn for more formal or casual job situations....

1.  Faux Leather Shell - is 60% off and I tried this on...super cute tucked or untucked
2.  Fitted Blazer -They have great work blazer to mix and match with pants
3. Shift Dress- extra 25% off currently
4. Pea Coat- choose a bright color to pop in the winter months
5. Glen Plaid Bootcut pants --because tight pants aren't always great in the workplace
