The Piece I'm Most Looking Forward To Wearing In Warm Weather

1 week ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

Athletic shorts are this year’s boxer shorts. Allow me to explain. Over the last few summers, boxer-style shorts took the wearable fashion trends by storm. Love it or hate it, women were out in the masses rocking cutie little printed soft shorts with whatever the heck on top and feeling comfortable as all get out. For me, I loved it. I even wrote articles about it. Because no matter what you feel about how they look, you can’t argue how gosh dang comfortable they feel.
The Barrel Pants I'll Be Wearing All Summer: Gap Factory

1 week ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

I think every year I find a pant and declare it something like The Pant of The Summer. I’m sure it sounds dramatic, but it’s a helpful glimpse into how I like to dress – as easy, and as repetitive as possible. NOT in an outfit formula sense (my creative soul just shivered in fear), but more with the idea of consuming less and giving the most life to the pieces I buy as I can.
Found: A Comfy, Organic Cotton Dress That I Actually Want To Wear

1 week ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

This post is sponsored by Evereve. Springtime always lures me in to look at dresses. I don’t always find ones I love (I’m more of a tomboy by nature and therefore super picky on the subject), but when I do, they become wardrobe staples for years. EVEREVE recently did a collab with Emerson Fry and when I clicked through their pieces I became instantly giddy when I saw The Isla. From the longer, t-shirt-esque sleeves, to the 100% airy organic cotton material, I knew this could potentially be The One.
How To Bring Life To A Casual Spring Outfit

2 weeks ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

This post is sponsored by DSW. I recently had a major lightbulb moment about my personal style: my mood about fashion is intimately connected to what season we’re currently living in. In the fall I crave classic, cozy outfits. In the winter I start experimenting with loud colors and pattern mixing and all things maximalism. But in spring…I love simple, calming looks reminiscent of a Nancy Meyers movie.
Two Outfit Ideas for Transitional Weather

3 weeks ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

In the short span of time since the spring equinox, our little corner of the world has seen temps in the 30’s and the 90’s, thunderstorms, a few spotty tornado watches, and even a warning to bring in any plants that were eagerly started outdoors (you know, ‘cuz overnight frosts). I actually love it. I even love dressing for this, which is new. I haven’t loved springtime for most of my adult life, but something has changed this year.

This post is sponsored by Annemarie Börlind. I feel like my skin is coming out of a long battle with winter this year. It’s dry, it’s dull, and oh-yeah, I’m not getting any younger, either. In an attempt to remedy my achy skin, I’ve been trying out a handful of products from Annemarie Börlind.

Liz From Shrinking Has The Best Outfits Ever

1 month ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

Few TV shows have become an instant favorite of mine. They have to incorporate the perfect combination of humor and heartfelt emotion, give me characters I can root for, and it must leave me with the feel-good-fuzzies. The show by no means needs to have good fashion sense, but when it has all of the above?! I’m laughing, I’m crying into my popcorn, and I’m feverishly googling to figure out the exact clothing pieces everyone’s wearing.
Elevated Basics: How I'm Wearing Sweatshirts & Jeans All Winter Long

2 months ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

This article is sponsored by Saks. There’s been a theme to my outfits this winter. Cozy sweatshirt, cute jeans, boots with a heel. Let’s be honest, sweatshirts and jeans aren’t exactly a new science nor a stranger to my closet at any point of the year, but it’s all in the specific pieces – and the specific styling – that has been making them so rewarding to wear as of late.
This Quince Cardigan Might Be The Only One You Need

2 months ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

I’ve had a love affair with this cardigan from Quince for years. This is not new news, I even broke down the comparison between that and its similar Jenni Kayne counterparts back in 2023 and subsequently featured the cardigan again and again in articles. It became such a mainstay in my closet that, quite honestly, I hadn’t thought about a new cardigan or snooping around Quince for a long time.
Help! I Need Something Warm: Here's The Least Ugly Puffer Jackets I Could Find

Jan 21, 2025 | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

January and February are cold for most of the country. Having recently moved from Southern California to Arkansas, I knew I would need to adjust my winter wardrobe a bit, but I didn’t foresee just how much I would loathe having to find warm jackets (or boots, ugh, don’t get me started on boots). I spent most of the late fall trying on various coats and shoes and wasn’t having any success. Maybe it was going a few years without having to buy any, but I couldn’t help but think it was all so…ugly.
