While I will do a full review of… Continue Reading What I Wore for a Summer Weekend in DC
I believe any woman, of any age, can wear whatever makes her happy.

I love the Kady pant from ELOQUII, but I’m losing weight. The things I like about the Kady pant include the perfect ankle length, the variety of colors that keep being introduced, the versatility of the pant (work appropriate and casual appropriate too), and the cut that makes room for a curvy gal’s figure.
