As the weather warms up here in New England, it's the perfect time to give your wardrobe a little spring refresh. After months of layering up, our favorite basics—like tee shirts and tank tops —can start to show signs of wear. Whether it's stretched-out necklines, faded colors, or mystery stains that just won't budget, spring is the ideal season to replace those go-to pieces. As moms, we're so focused on taking care of everyone else that it's easy to overlook our own needs. But something as simple as replacing a few well-loved pieces can be a form of self-care —reminding us that we deserve to feel comfortable, confident, and put-together, too.

Unfortunately, the humidity was doing mean, mean things to my hair, and I didn't have enough time to get it right. I had no choice but to go with the sleek and chic ponytail.

I'm planning to share my thoughts about the service in another blog post in a few days or so, so be sure to look out for it!
