Help! I am a late thirties mom in need of a brand new wardrobe. I haven’t gone meaningful shopping in years. It takes hours to shop online only to find one or two pieces may work out of ten. Any suggestions for jean jackets, tops (nothing cropped or too form-fitting), jeans, summer sandals, etc.?

Find one designer you like by visiting a store, then build from that. Eileen Fisher, Ann Taylor, Dior, etc. Spend money on foundational pieces. Don’t be afraid to ask an expert at Nordstrom etc.

My friend and I went to Nordstrom when she needed a new pair of work pants, and the woman who worked there was so helpful.

She pointed out brands that we may not have considered, and knew which pants were the ones that worked for everyone.

Having worked in retail a bit during college, for some reason there are certain items of clothing that work for just about every body type. I knew if I handed it to someone and brought it to the dressing room, they were going to buy it. It's impossible to figure out what these are online, but the salespeople literally just know.

Check out quince, they have nice quality pants that don’t break the bank.
Also look into straight leg trousers that’ll give you polished look.

I highly recommend Trendsend by Evereve and whatever the Nordstrom version is (can’t remember). It’s persona styling…

Baby furniture. What is everyone doing? FTM and trying to figure out if it’s worth investing in very expensive nursery furniture.

Alternatively I could go the lower end route at get everything for like $800. Is that wise? I hear horror stories about low quality and paint chipping from the baby teething on the crib.
