Well, hello May! So I went a bit crazy this month and took advantage of the Memorial Day sales and stocked up. A few thoughts: -About a month post-baby, many of my clothes don't fit quite yet, so I need some "in between" items to hold me over. I feel like this month's purchases make for a great capsule wardrobe-- especially the J.Crew pieces- very remixable! (Speaking of, did you enter the $200 J. Crew gift card giveaway yet?) -I did a major closet purge this month. As a result, I Read More
