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

We Found It: The Perfect Plain White T

So back in March, we talked about the three ways we all styled the basic white t-shirt . At the end of the post, we gave some recommendations of shirts you could try. Since then, we have come across the best option out there. Disclaimer: it isn't short sleeved. But once you realize all the benefits, you will overlook that minor detail. Folks, meet the Halogen Reversible V-Neck Tee . How do we love thee? Let us count the ways: The price is a cool $39.99. Think that's too much to spend on a white t-shirt? It's really not. Keep reading and you will see why. It comes in white, black, and stripes (both black/white and light blue/white). Yes, we know we said we found the perfect plain white  t-shirt, but once you fall in love, you will want it in all the colors too. The thickness is legit. It's thick enough to where you don't have to layer a cami underneath, and thin enough to where it's comfortable to wear in warmer weather. (Note: as we already noted above, i...

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...

Super Popular Trends We Hate

Perhaps it's a byproduct of getting older but recently we're starting to realize that there are a ton of super popular trends that we really effing hate. We've decided to share this list with our dear readers in hopes that both of you will commiserate.  A Real Working Girl's List of Super Popular Trends That Suck Ombre Hair. It’s so hard to get right and maintain and just ends up looking sloppy and unprofessional. If you talk to a stylist, she (or he) will likely explain that ombre came from people who were growing out their color. To make truly good ombre, it’s just roots. Also, isn’t this over now? Crop tops. Just no. Unless you are a stick this is not a good look for you.  Midi-skirts. See above. Katie 2 would like to add that unless you’re over 5’8”, it’s floor length.  Mom jeans. See #2. If you’re normal sized, you ass looks like crap.  Top knots. Sorry… it just looks sloppy. Take a minute and do your damn hair.  Sex hair. See above. It looks s...
