I refused to scroll all the way down until I read the entire thing. And, I was thinking "there had better fucking be a picture of her in the dress" in the back of my mind. So thanks for that. You look like you are owning the shit out of that dress - bravo! The shoes are perfect too. And, yes, you could do so much with it - booties and a leather jacket... Good call. My kids are 17 and 19 and my second big lesson of parenting, (the first was, perfection is not an option) was that it's a master class in ambivalence. No matter what I'm doing, how I'm spending my resources or focus, I typically feel as though I could be making a different choice. Recommend you find some comfort in that space. Love your work. And yes, I read the book. xo

This essay was everything to me. I have two kids, 3yr and 8mo, and every word was relatable. Love the dress, you look incredible, and I feel so seen as a mom who has also been pregnant or nursing (still nursing!) since 2019. Thank you for this content that made my life immeasurably better tonight! I’m also going to embrace the few - VERY FEW - moments I have to dress nice and feel good.
