4 Things to Try : September

4 Things to Try:

September

1. Men's button ups

These are the perfect thing to wear when I'm momming it up on the daily. Button ups are ideal for nursing and the oversized shape works now postpartum and will still look good oversized should I ever make it back to the gym. I always hunt for these when I'm thrifting - I look first for soft cotton or linen blends with good detailing. I love the safari pockets on this striped one.

2. Sailor pants

I truly don't think I'll ever get tired of the high-waist, wide-leg style of these pants. There is something so flattering about this cut! The high waist acts like a girdle and holds everything in. Mine (by Jesse Kamm) are an investment piece, but if you're not sold on the style yet Everlane makes a great and affordable pair - I haven't tried those ones because I tend to be too tall for a lot of Everlane cuts but I love this review by Style Bee.

3. Mules

Tired of Sandals, but not quite ready for boots yet? Mules are the perfect season transition footwear. I also give them bonus points for being lazy mom approved - just slip them on and go. This Freda Salvador pair is my new favorite.

4. Old man glasses

After a freak contact lens accident on vacation I had to wear my glasses all day I realized my thick frames made my head hurt, so I put in a quick order to Warby Parker to get some that I could wear easily and wouldn't give me a headache. But turns out I kinda love this style! I'm now on the hunt for some vintage frames with this shape as well.
