If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

#throwbackthursday to what I wore 10 years ago in September…

A decade ago I was working full time in an office and was promoted to manage a good portion of my department. My blog was doing quite well, I was featured in local and national publications and websites. I was embracing what I felt to be a polished professional with an edgy vibe. Less color, more interesting accessories, and my first semi-designer bag (I still have that leopard print mini M.A.C. In the back of my closet). 

I have come to embrace color and have way less black in my closet now, but a lot of these looks are timeless and I would wear now… just likely with lower heels! 😂

Do you recall what you were wearing a decade ago? How similar is it to how you dress now?

Let’s Move! Event at the White House

I’ve had some pretty amazing opportunities as a blogger but the one at the top of the list has to be the other week when I was invited to the White House.

The WHITE HOUSE!!!!

Though I was born in DC and have lived in the area my whole life, the only time I’ve been to the White House is for an elementary school field trip and all I remember is lots of place settings and what I felt were tacky little rooms all in green, red, or blue. So when SheKnows reached out and asked if I’d like to attend an event there for Lets Move! I screamed, did a little dance, and then calmly replied, “I'd be honored, thank you!” I scheduled PTO with my job for the first half of Tuesday; sorry boss, gotta take some time off to hang with Michelle Obama!

Let's Move! A Conversation on the Health of our Nation's Children - White House, March 2016 with Michelle Obama and 150 bloggers and online influencersOf course the most important question… what to wear? Usually this would be easy – a dress with an interesting print and a pair of pumps. But it was going to be chilly, we’d be both inside and outside, we’d be walking on grass/possible mud, and oh yeah, I have a broken toe so pumps or any heel is NOT going to fly. We were told the event was Business Casual. I spent Monday night texting selfies of my possible outfits to my sister, got myself all worked up in a frenzy and decided to take a bath, go to bed, and figure it out in the morning. Come morning, I was more in an, “eff it, this isn’t about me it’s about Let’s Move!” mentality and chose to wear this dress (matte jersey doesn’t wrinkle or crease when sitting, doesn’t show sweat if I get nervous, has a fun print, isn’t too short or too tight) and this coat (it’s a statement all on its own and will bring cheer to a grey and drizzly day). As for shoes, this is where I said eff it and just decided to wear my silver brogues. They’re flat, roomy enough for my toe, won’t get ruined in rain or a bit of mud, and at least look as though I put forth some effort. They didn’t go, I even texted my friends Alison and Rosana that I felt very Reality Bites wearing brogues with a dress, but comfort (and not sinking into soft grass) always trumps style!

The Metro was having some serious issues so I splurged on taking an Uber to the White House. My driver was a sweetie, he asked where I was going and we got into a long conversation about blogging and monetizing the internet. By day he’s an Uber driver but by night he has an Amazon store. I learned how families help relatives who are new to the US set up Amazon stores as a way to make money; this system is great for them because they don’t have to be fluent in English, they don’t need a resume, and as my driver pointed out, they aren’t judged by their looks or ethnicity. He used to sell electronics but found the stock he was receiving was not consistent quality so now he sells books. He dropped me off at the Southeast Gate to the White House, where security let me right in when I mentioned what I was there for.

OMG OMG OMG I'm walking into the White House!!
OMG OMG OMG I'm walking into the White House!!

Can I just say how awesome the White House staff is? Everyone is so genuinely nice. Even security guards smile and say hello. It’s a very chill vibe, everyone is so confident in their jobs and seem to really enjoy visitors.

They had a coat check (with even more lovely people managing it), we bloggers and online influencers milled around checking out the library and many of us took White House bathroom selfies and photos with the paintings of First Ladies.

We then went up a flight of stairs to a large room where a woman was playing the piano and they were serving coffee, tea, juice, and water (with a few granola bars on trays). I felt super elegant sipping java from a china cup and saucer and had a fellow blogger take my photo with Bill. I saw a few bloggers I knew like Julia Coney from All About the Pretty and Lindsay Ponta from Shrimp Salad Circus (both even more lovely in person!) and found my friend Jessica McFadden from A Parent in America and A Parent in Silver Spring. Neither of us could believe we hadn’t met in person prior to this event; we have tons of mutual friends in the blogging and DC fashion worlds and have followed one another on blog and personal social media for eons. No surprise we got along great face to face!

We then were ushered into a ballroom full of tables, gold chairs, and lovely springlike centerpieces. I was able to score a table to the left of the stage, one row back. You could feel the energy in the room, the nerves, the excitement, and likely the radio waves from all the phones Snapchatting, Periscoping, Instagramming, Tweeting, and taking selfies! There were 150 of us bloggers, vloggers, and internet influencers from all sorts of niches but the anticipation really brought us together as one.

We listened to three panels of pretty badass women who are working to make America healthier. We heard from:

  • Deb Eschmeyer, Executive Director of Let's Move! and Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition
  • Dr. Karen DeSalvo, Acting Assistant Secretary for Health, HHS
  • Dominique Dawes, Co-chair, President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition and three-time Olympic gymnast (and one of my regular customers when I worked at the Express store in White Flint mall in the late '90s!)
  • Christy Goldfuss, Managing Director at the White House Council on Environmental Quality
  • Dr. Katie Wilson, Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services, USDA
  • Deborah Kane, Director, Office of Community Food Systems, USDA
  • Jackie Haven, Deputy Director, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, USDA
  • Stephenie Fu, Senior Policy Advisor, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, USDA

We also had a cooking demonstration from Cris Comerford, the Executive Chef for the White House. She created this salad which I know we’ll be trying out in the Gary household in the near future. After her demonstration she answered a few audience questions and thanks to that I found out the Obamas’ favorite comfort food is a roast chicken which they have for Sunday dinner every week.

But the most interesting speech for me was from Ryan Shadrick Wilson, Chief Strategy Officer and General Counsel for Partnership for a Healthier America. She shared that she took a work conference call from home discussing a recent initiative where Sesame Street characters were placed on fruits and vegetables in grocery stores. Kids would notice, ask for the food with Elmo or Big Bird on it, increasing the healthy snacks in children’s diets (and BTW uber cool that Sesame Workshop offered the images for free). After the call, feeling pretty proud of herself for the successful initiative, her 9 year old son took her down a peg by saying if he saw Elmo on an apple he’d be less likely to buy it. She asked who would encourage him to buy an apple. His response? “LeBron.” This inspired her to help create the campaign Team FNV. If Doritos and Mountain Dew can get big-name celebrities and have flashy ads appealing to young America, why can’t fruits and vegetables? They gathered some big-name celebs in sports, acting, music, and more who for free agreed to be spokespeople for the campaign and created meme-worthy marketing that makes healthy food darn cool. Check out their Instagram account, their amazing website, and store (the leek tee shirt caused an all-day training for Karl about the importance of eyebrows and what Vine is!).

Michelle Obama, even more awesome in person!

I felt rude constantly holding up my phone during her speech so this is my selfie with Michelle Obama!

And then the reason why we were all buzzing with excitement, the keynote speech from Michelle Obama. Oh. Em. Gee. I’m not one to get all spazzed out by famous people, but it was pretty exhilarating to be just 12 feet from a woman I find such an inspiration. She’s even more lovely in person. She shared how before she became First Lady, she took the girls to the pediatrician and he scolded her on their poor nutrition. Immediately after she changed their diets; they ate at home more often and desserts were a once a week treat instead of an expected daily experience. A year later back at the pediatrician he was amazed and asked what she did because he had rarely seen such a change in families. When she became First Lady, she decided to make this her mission and created Lets Move!. Obama reassured that this isn’t something she will drop once they leave the White House; this is something she plans to work on and fight for the rest of her life.

And Lets Move! has accomplished so much! In just the past few years, the campaign has eliminated junk food marketing in classrooms, helped over 30 million kids have access to healthier school meals, assist with 1.6 million kids attending healthier daycare centers, and encouraged 200 corporate partners to make commitments for a healthier America.

As soon as I got this picture I texted it to my mom!

After Obama's speech, we grabbed our coats and were led to the White House Kitchen Garden. We as a family garden; we have several square plots in our backyard and a plot in our city’s community garden. I took a ton of pictures not just for the blog but to text to Karl with inspiration. Oh I was mega jealous of their beehive and just loved how our own garden and the garden my parents had when I was a kid isn’t that different from the one at the White House. Gardening is something that really brings us all to the same level, adds this level of humanity, and it’s so awesome to eat food you planted, tended to, cared for, and picked. I know that Emerson has been more receptive to lesser-known vegetables when she has helped water them, weed their plots, and pick them for dinner. I was thrilled to hear about Farm to School; the USDA offers grants to connect school cafeterias with local farmers and ranchers which offers healthier and local options for kids.   Also Let's Move! Salad Bars to Schools program is a wonderful way to get more children in America access to healthy foods.

The most important point I got from the day is we can vote with our wallets. I often mention this in regard to fashion, but it also holds true for food. If you don’t have healthy options in your local grocery or in your child’s school, SPEAK UP. We have the power to make change, in 2016 we have the ability to be heard with petitions, letters, social media, and our buying power.

    That is a magic dress. You look great in it. I felt my heart get a little skippy reading this as I was sort of, well, WAY jealous of you. What a terrific opportunity for you and for you to help spread the word about a lot of very cool initiatives. Michelle Obama is such an inspirational woman to me. So smart. So cool. So human.

    I think there is a lot to be said for Ms. Obama’s simple moves to better eating: eat at home more often and make treats occasional, not regular events. Children learn what they see about a zillion times more than what they hear, so be a model for your children.

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

For more of our trip check the “Savannah” highlight on my profile page!

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.
