Someone Please Talk Me Out Of... (Shoes Day Tuesday Bonus)

Sometimes, we come across items that are absurd, either in their lack of practicality or in their price. But something deep insides convinces us that we need them.

We have decided that because we have full control over this blog’s content, we may occasionally use this forum as therapy. If there is something completely impractical that one of us wants, we are going to use this blog for the other writers here, and you faithful readers, to talk us out of (or into) buying it. 

Katie 2's first item up for debate? These sparkly Kate Spade Keds. There is no rhyme or reason other than they are sparkly and fun, and a great casual shoe that could be dressy if you want!


Imagine them with jeans, or shorts (if I wore shorts), or a cute casual skirt, or a dress, or commuting. How cute would they be at a baseball game?

Katie 1's response: "No, those are totally adorable. You should buy them. They are also super reasonably priced." (Katie 1 is not helpful.)

My other colleagues: "See if they come in kid sizes! Then you can buy a matching pair for your future step-daughter and you can match!" "Those would make commuting on Monday morning so much more fun!"

You guys are no help... 

Readers! Someone talk me out of these shoes!!!

    I don't see why you shouldn't. They look like a lot of fun

Sweater Weather

The time is upon us! There are a million ways we could divide up our recommendations for you today, but we've decided to go with just a few that are realistic needs for working women. That being said, we think everyone should invest in (at least a few) great cashmere sweaters. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg, either. Neiman Marcus Last Call and Lands' End ( yes, we really do love it ) offer some of the best cashmere for your buck. Wear to Work:  Because this is kind of the whole point of the blog... This might be the best recommendation we have for you. It's a completely basic crew neck sweater that is 100% cashmere. Oh, and it 's only $100. And it comes in 13 colors. Seriously. It doesn't get much better.  Katie 2 LOVES a turtleneck. She loved them in the late 80s and early 90s under her oversized sweaters and she loves them now. We don't like to recommend obvious places to shop, but Banana has been doing the classic turtleneck for years ...

Workout Wednesday: The Push-up

We wanted to take today to discuss the benefits of one of the most useful (and hated) of all exercises: the push-up.  First off, why should you even care? It's a great exercise to do any time, any where. No equipment needed. It targets multiple muscle groups. Get a lot of bang for your workout buck. This is really 2b: It's good for your core. A strong core improves your posture and can help prevent lower back pain (something you will struggle with if you sit a lot during the day and as you're getting older).  Calorie-torching! (Let's call this one "2c".) Because you're using so many muscle groups, you burn more calories with a push-up than you will for other strength exercises that involve only one muscle. (Want to burn even more calories? Do a burpee- a push-up and a squat jump. They're awful. Katie 1 says that Katie 2, the primary author of this post, is evil for even mentioning burpees.) They can be done no matter your fitness level. Yo...

Pajama Day!

No, we don't have a day where we can wear jammies to work (but that would be awesome). It is a day when we want to talk about spring pajamas. You may be the type of person that puts on an old ratty t-shirt for bed, or maybe you go all out every night with a full matching pajama set. Either way, we are of the opinion that you should have at least some "can be worn in 'public'" pajamas for things like work trips, family get-togethers, bachelorette parties, and the like. By this point you probably know the drill: we're going to recommend some spring pajama options that we like.  Rather than our standard "here are some options at a variety of price points", we're going to group our recommendations by pajama type. Traditional Pajamas: Think old school pajamas here. Long button up top with matching pants or something like that. Here are some spring options that we're loving. You can't get more classic than these Lauren Ralph Lauren c...
