Golden Tote…Something a Little Different (Good Fashion Different)
So we've talked about Stitch Fix and we've talked about Twice, but now for something a little different in the fashion department: Golden Tote. I had a reader recommend Golden Tote a few weeks ago so I was thrilled when the very next day, Golden Tote asked if I would like to try them out and share about my experience. Here's how it works: every month they offer a surprise grab bag of clothes … [Read more...]

Is Stitch Fix Really Worth It? Yes and No.
I may be compensated for affiliate links, but all opinions are my own. Is Stitch Fix's personal styling service worth it? Is it a good deal? Well, it depends on who you are. After testing it out a few times, I've figured out how to make it work great for me.

Stitch Fix Round 3: Home Run! (And some almost wins. Help me decide.)
And welcome to another round of awkward photos and my pleas for your fashion advice! After a wildly fun first experience with Stitch Fix, a personal styling service, my second box was....ahem....less than thrilling. In fact, I sent everything single item back. I have a very minimalist wardrobe, so why clutter up the closet with anything I don't absolutely love? In hopes that last time was a … [Read more...]

There weren't any pieces that … [Read more...]
Help Me Decide All the Fashion Things! (Or, In Which I Pose Awkwardly.)

If you haven't heard of Stitch Fix, it's a personal styling service that picks out several … [Read more...]

I’ve written before about breastfeeding (nursing in public because the Pope said to and because the Blessed Virgin Mary does it) and I’m often asked how to be modest when nursing a baby. I think this is the wrong question because breastfeeding is not immodest. In most places in the world, women don’t have to think twice about feeding their babies in public. Breastfeeding is not viewed as … [Read more...]
