Playful Basics

As the temperatures start to cool off, I’m assessing my day to day wardrobe.   You know, the kind of stuff you live in…your cozies, your go-to’s, your basics.  Well, some of my go-to’s were looking grim.  Most of my day to day wardrobe was purchased after I had Madelyn.  So four years of changing diapers, cooking, cleaning, spit ups and all the other glamorous parts of motherhood, takes a toll on the old wardrobe.  Some pieces were beyond saving…
