Plaid fringe.

Truth: I don't run around in pencil skirts and high heels with my kiddos. That would be absurd. In fact, once I clock out for the day, more often than not you can find me in a version of the above.

I have strict policies about my casual wear. My denim has to have serious spandex. My lips have to be bright, never bare. My sweaters have to be the softest. My flannels have to be ultra cozy and worn in. I need a little heel unless I'm wearing my Chucks. And God forbid I have two kids in tow running an errand, my purse has to be huge to store sippy cups and the like.
