The New JCPenney
I think the last time I shopped at JCPenney I was still getting an allowance and pegged my jeans. Mom Jeans were De rigueur. You may have heard the buzz surrounding the new JCPenney. I did too. In fact, for the first time ever a JCPenney catalog came in the mail. I used to pour over that thing as a kid picking out my Easter ensemble (cape or no cape? white shoes? check.) each year. I almost threw it away but the bright turquoise and tangerine colored clothes on the cover enticed me to look inside. I wasn't floored but I was pleasantly surprised. There were things I might actually consider wearing. In current colors and styles. Shoes that were cute! Hmm... I might need to investigate. So I did. My local JCPenney just had a make-over as part of this new unveiling of lower … [Read more...]

I picked up this hat for the summer yesterday. $12.99 Mossimo Fedora at Target. It was exactly what I was looking for and the price cannot be beat!

Wardrobe Savings Tips for Working Moms with Style
If your primary occupation over the last few months (or years) required more bedtimes than deadlines, you're not alone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, an estimated 5 million women classified themselves as stay-at-home moms in 2010.

For any mom taking on new 9 to 5 with duties that go beyond diapers and dinner, your wardrobe will likely need a makeover. However, sprucing up your business style doesn't have to drain your kids' college funds nor limit your options.
