Outfits

We just got back from our 10 day Spring Break trip to the Netherlands and I thought I’d finally link up everything I packed! The weather was typical for early April, rainy some days and highs in the 50s-60s others. I packed neutral layers that I could mix & match, 2 pairs of sneakers, one […]

I’m sharing all of my favorite postpartum pieces that I’ve been wearing the past 8 weeks!

I’m excited to share more style posts here on The Mama Notes — about pieces in my wardrobe that I get a lot of wear out of. That I wear for both motherhood and meetings. First up– the latest trend in denim… mom jeans. How could I not get on this bandwagon? I’m a fan […]

If you’re anything like me you are already craving warmer weather, less bulky clothes and SUNSHINE. Though unfortunately we still have a few more months of winter left on the East Coast. My wardrobe is far from groundbreaking, but I thought I’d share what I’ve been wearing nonstop. Jeans, blouses, cozy sweaters and one very […]

I’ve been wearing this jersey caftan dress from Buru’s White Label on repeat this fall — it’s seriously so comfy that it feels like PJs but makes me feel somewhat put together when running errands. I love the subtle berry hue and can’t wait to wear it with ankle booties.  I’ve also been using my […]

*This post was created in partnership with Stein Mart. Today I’m excited to be partnering with Stein Mart to share two ways to wear plaid this fall… in addition to styling a few of fall’s hottest trends. I wasn’t familiar with Stein Mart until I went to college in North Carolina– they offer great brands […]

It’s taken me a long time to develop my own personal style – after 30 years I think I finally have it down! I definitely gravitate towards feminine, classic pieces that still feel a little fashion forward but aren’t too trendy. Living in my hometown of Annapolis has certainly influenced my style and fashion choices […]

I picked up this dress (and bag) earlier this summer when I was still nursing and looking for button front dresses. I love this one from Banana Republic because it can be more formal (it’s a thick, chiffon style fabric) but you can also dress it down as I am here. It’s also not too short, […]

I’m back! It was so nice to have a full week off from work. I really needed it. I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and run down lately, like I can’t keep up with work or being a good mom or keeping our house together so it was nice to actually relax in my favorite place. […]

I’ve heard about Stitch Fix for years — although I’d never really thought much about trying out the service since I happen to enjoy shopping and picking out my own clothes. Now that I work full time, have my own business on the side and am the mother to a very active one year old […]

Have you checked out Banana Republic lately? Back during fashion week in February they were getting a ton of buzz for amping up their style….and ever since I’ve been checking their website for new arrivals more frequently. To be honest I hadn’t set foot in a Banana store in years! I’ve been on the hunt […]

Before I had Piper I would ‘get ready’  i.e. do my hair and makeup a handful of times a week. Since I work from home I have the huge advantage of not always having to get myself totally put-together at a certain time.  I do find I’m much more productive when I feel ready to […]
