Great strategic styling per usual. I’m definitely more flat than rocket, given the writing from home/carpool mother that I currently am. But I am always looking out for BH’s that take my breath away — I actually lean on beauty here, which is clearly less pricey but can add an oomph. LoveSeen false eyelashes are one of my faves.

Beauty is such a good call! I think most tweens have a better handle on beauty than me 😂 but I’m trying! And I absolutely it can amp up a look and be the Big Hitter!

Fellow hockey fam (even in FL!) / mom of three who is DELIGHTED by those hockey hats. Also, I work in talent development so annual performance reviews consume a lot of my time. The idea of an annual performance review for one’s closet is genius and hilarious.

Ooh I love this pyramid and thinking about the ways the shape of our pyramid might change; I admit I’m a bit of a rocket because I really love Big Hitters. speaking of which, the BHs you got are AWESOME. That bode shirt also had me in it’s clutches.

I used to be a rocket ship too, then I went full pancake during Covid and little kids, and now I feel like I’m finally getting things back in order!! (And thank you, re: the Bode, we are a big baseball family, and I saw it on Leandra and knew I had to have it, eek! I’m going to be that mom on the sidelines wearing it at 9am next spring 😂)

Oooh that’s a good one. My personal fave is the Beverly Hills Hotel bottle opener I may or may not have swiped…

I love this framework and I’ve been thinking a lot about the right mix of these! I think I leaned way too much into my evergreens and am now desperately missing those crazy big hitters that make my wardrobe feel so me.

But I really have enough 🙈

Thanks so much for sharing my article!
