Clothing for a 26-year-old?

Q. I am a 26-year-old woman, married last year. I have a lovely baby girl and I'm pregnant with another one. I need a wardrobe rehab, because last time I went on a major shopping I was looking to date. I need to be a bit more dignified, now, but I want to still look good. What stores and styles would you all recomend?

A. Before you overhaul your wardrobe, I highly suggest you buy yourself a copy of The Pocket Stylist by Kendall Farr. If you are wanting to look more dignified without succumbing to "mom frumpy" I think you'll find the advice in this book very helpful. It's not about being on the cutting edge of fashion or anything. It's about looking at your body type and understanding what will look good and what won't. Then it gives good explanations for what sorts of things to add to your wardrobe. It also has advice on shoes, accessories, hair and makeup. It's a nice book - much classier than others of that type.

I'm almost 34, so I dress probably a bit older than what you can get away with, but my favorite stores are J Crew, Banana Republic, and Anthropologie - especially Anthropologie. Rule of thumb - if a store is playing loud music, stay away - it isn't for you anymore. In the summer I wear a lot of capris, dresses, printed tops, I do layered tanks too. I almost always wear a bit of a heal and never, ever wear sneakers unless I'm working out. In the winter I do a lot of sweaters and layered tees. I stay away from anything ultra trendy.


Can you help me find a pair of trendy boots?
Q. Hi there, I'm 21 years old and 24 weeks pregnant. I've always been the kind of girl who has a million pairs of boots over the winter. My only problem is everything I own has a high heel on it!

Being 24 weeks pregnant, it's really not the safest or most comfortable thing....so I really need a pair of flat boots to wear with my casual and trendy clothing

I am looking for a pair of black (maybe even brown) knee high flat boots. I prefer leather but will go for suede as well. I don't care for ties on them and I would like them to be under 100 dollars!

Best pick will definitely get 10 points! thank you :)

A. First of all, congratulations on your baby! Okay, I have a few stores that you can look at, and I'll give the websites.

That's all I could find, I'm sure if you keep looking you'll find some. Good luck!
