Unless otherwise stated, all the items on this blog worn or talked about have been purchased by me. Any products I have been given to review or write about will be identified in the body of the post.

Last night I gave a presentation to mothers about teenagers and the use of technology (specifically the internet and cell phones). I thought about dressing up and going for a more formal look in order to appear like some kind of expert but rethought that one since I didn’t want to appear stuffy or false. I ended up going for basic jeans dressed up with this tunic shirt. I’d say it worked the mothers were very open to talking, discussing and arguing about social media and their kids. Tip: High belting a large tunic shirt helps to give it dimension and gives the allusion of curves.
