mommyhood musings: wardrobe additions

sorry for the hiatus!

we just picked up my mother-in-law from Chicago last weekend, as she is visiting us from Kathmandu for the next 2 months!  everyone always asks me how that is, having you MIL visiting for 2 months, as a houseguest.  It's really quite simple, she is one of 7 sisters, and she is totally a woman's woman.  it's super easy. and super fun.

before we went to chicago, i got a day off to do some shopping and learned that i desperately needed a day of shopping and i also needed some wardrobe additions. j.crew was my tried and true hit, i scored some layering cardigans and two great pants.

we have a great tjmaxx here that has a Runway area, with tons of designer pieces.  they also have designer shoes.  i picked up two pairs of coach shoes, 1 sandal and 1 flat, as well as two tees.
