Mother's Day is on Sunday. I'm honestly not sure what we are doing yet. All I asked for this year was to sleep in — which might mean I have to sleep in the basement, hello early rising toddlers.
Past that, I don't really know what the day will look like. There are two possible paths: we walk an art festival and have a picnic, or we stay cozy at home with movies and a lounge day.
For both, I'm fairly sure I know what I will be wearing.
Path one: we walk an art festival and have a picnic. I'll be wearing one of my favorite sundresses. Mine is secondhand from Poshmark, by Jenni Kayne. Easy flip flops. There are a lot of versions of this style and I find it gorgeous on most body types — timeless in the best way. I think every woman should have a version of this dress in her closet.
Path two: we stay cozy at home with movies and a lounge day. I'll be in a matching pajama set. I spent the majority of my life throwing on sweatpants and a sweatshirt. But in my 40s I like wearing a matching lounge set — it makes me feel put together without being uncomfortable. There's also something a little sexy about a matching set. My current favorite is by Negative Underwear. It's spendy and I'm searching for a dupe because I wear it constantly. With my current state of hot flashes and night sweats, it is the best. Lightweight, and I think it makes me look a little taller and more slender. I'll take it.
Either way, I will be wearing my jewelry go-tos.
My diamond fleck studs with sparkle huggies. My narrow ring stacked with the sparkle ring and treasured ring. My wide ring on the other hand. For necklaces — my grandmother's necklace, the key and everlong layered together, my Maya Brenner initial necklace, and my Unladylike pendant from Universal Deco.
These are pieces I live in and love.
