Been following you for ages and I’m a big fan! I’m a 38-year-old stay at home mom. I live in Raleigh, NC – home of the country club set. Though I love this preppy look, since I am plus sized, I feel like this style is aging me. I guess what I’m asking is how…
I sometimes wonder about buyers for department stores; it’s like they think anyone over a size 12 wants to wear only dark and dreary colors and waterfall cardigans.

But my son wants me to dress up. Any suggestions for a beach formal, mother-of-the-groom? Traditionally, Mother of…
I hope you can take a few minutes to answer a question about jeans. I used to wear NYDJ in an 18WP (women’s petite). NYDJ has stopped making WP-size denim. I’ve tried other brands and haven’t found any that fit well. I’m 5’4 1/2″ and weigh about 200 pounds. I have a short rise, so…
