I’m a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mama of two little girls in northwestern VA. I have no inherent sense of style, but I’m trying to learn. ;)

For the most part, I prefer black, bright white, and true/bright/bold colors: true (not orangey) red, hot pink, teal, etc. I definitely don’t do orange or gold. I’m super-small (used to be a 0-2, until the manufacturers rearranged all the sizing and now I’m clueless), but curvy, which makes sizing tricky. I’m normally around 34”-23”-33”, but can’t seem to keep up with calories while nursing my babies, and lose weight – mostly in my bust, so right now that measurement is a couple inches smaller. So…whatever size that is. lol I’m 5’1”.

Like classic and pretty basic, not too “trendy” for most things, but not really “office-y” classic. Boot-cut jeans and otherwise classic shapes/cuts in solid colors are the core of my wardrobe, and I like comfy – especially natural fibers like cotton and linen. I really hate “distressed” clothing like worn denim or those pants that have the butt and knees bleached lighter than everything else, or holes in them. But I love texture (hence the denim and linen).

Am especially looking for: -cotton sundress in “my” colors (a red floral, maybe), with some shape and not too short or too low-cut -camis in these bright, bold colors -cool belts, necklaces, or earrings in “my” colors -“little black dress,” not too short or low-cut, in formal fabric like velvet (need something for formal dinners with hubby’s organization, so I need something not too sexy) -long denim skirt, preferably something sort of fitted through the hips, but full at the bottom (about 34-35” long from the natural waist) -basic, but not overly-casual black coat (like a trench or something) -black suit-type jacket -black suit jacket for hubby (34-36”) -dress shirts for hubby in bold, solid colors (mostly the same colors I wear), 15.5-16” neck, or size medium -solid-colored ties for hubby in these sorts of colors -size 7 slim jeans for my daughter, no major bellbottoms, wear, and NO words on the butt – preferably just plain, goes-with-anything jeans -long khaki skirt for my daughter, also 7 slim (elastic or a drawstring would be really great; everything seems to fall off of her)

Or make me another offer. Maybe you have something I never knew I always wanted. :)
