It might seem a little late to be talking about New Years goals, but I’m of the mindset that goals can and should be set at any time and that you don’t need a big reason to start something new. A couple weeks into January, I realized that I hadn’t really given any thought to my goals for the year. With a newborn, it wasn’t surprising to me. Since this year is going to be very different, in terms of free time, in the beginning versus the end, I decided that I wanted to have one focus each month of this year, instead of a few goals for the entire year. This way, I can dedicate more energy to my goals in the months that are less full. My goal for January is rest. Sometimes it is really hard to truly rest, especially when you need it. I’ve been reminding myself to accept help when it is offered, to ask for help when it is needed, to choose to rest instead of pursue a hobby or passion (knowing that I will be able to fulfill those desires again soon), to let those I love take care of me instead of always taking care of others, to sleep when I have the opportunity, and to cherish these early days being a mom to two beautiful girls. What are you focusing on this month? . . . . . . . #yxeblog #saskblog #yxemom #yxebaby #fourthtrimester #newyearsgoals #newyearsresolutions #rest #January #themotherhoodcorner #realmomlife #momcommunity #lifewithkids #motherhoodunited #lessonsfrommadamechic #madamechic #goalsetting #journalling #yxecoffeeclub

Comment of the Week
Just Today writes, "Hello Jennifer, about 2 years ago, I picked up your book called, "Madame Chic" for my daughter. Like all the other books I buy her, it went into another part of the house, probably never to be seen again by her (no offence)...or so I thought. As I ventured out into my place of solitude, which happens to be my backyard these days, I decided to grab a book from that shelf in the other part of the house. Sitting quite comfortably in my cozy chair with the book about to open, I can honestly tell you that I didn't leave that spot until I finished reading the entire book! I couldn't stop!! It's like I went with you on your journey to Paris and although I've always been one to enjoy the finer things in life, you actually made me realize that I still need to continue to pamper myself and enjoy every aspect of my wonderful life, thus far. When I finished the last page, I immediately went right up to my daughter and handed her the book telling her she must read it. She's starting tonight and I can't wait to sit down with her, in our little backyard paradise, drinking lemonade, and conversing with each other about the wonderful contents of those pages! To now sit down at my computer and look up your YouTube channel and watch your video's, makes me now feel like I'm still on some type of wonderful journey with you. The feeling that you get when you take a big blanket out of a hot dryer on a cold winter day....that's the feeling and warmth I get from watching your video's. You are such a wonderful human being and quite the mentor to many of us ladies out here. I'm sure my daughter will feel the exact same way I do once she's completed your book. Thank you for being such a special addition to my life and my daughter's life....I'm sure she'll thank you one day too!!! 💖💖"

Wow! Your comment really blew me away. Your encouragement has meant so much to me. Thank you for your kind words and I hope your daughter enjoys the books too!

Welcome to my summer update video for the ten-item capsule wardrobe. This summer I am taking out three core items and replacing them with two... One of the items is over five years old.




At the change in season, it is important to assess your wardrobe and make any necessary changes. I am retiring the Draper James chambray shift dress for now and plan to bring it back in the fall as the fabric is heavier and won't work for the hot summer here in Southern California.

I am going to also take out the Morning Lavender jumpsuit as it is very past its prime, and the NeeSee's dresses blouse as it did not perform well.



Do you remember this dress from 5 years ago? It is from my ten-item wardrobe from 2015. I always loved this dress, but was unable to wear it during the pregnancies and nursing periods that followed its purchase.



I love the beautiful pattern that reminds me of a midnight summer garden. This dress from Boden is no longer available, but I am linking wonderful summer dress resources below.



And now for the second dress...


This fit and flare dress from Lands' End is from last year's summer ten-item wardrobe. It's light and airy and a pretty summer color and will work well this season too.




Here are some great summer dress resources:
🌿Midi dresses from Lulu's
🌿Dresses from Morning Lavender
🌿Dresses from Draper James
🌿Dresses from SKYE Jennifer20 for 20% off
🌿Lands' End Fit n Flare
🌿MerSea travel wrap
🌿My earrings SKYE Genevieve 18K gold pearl code Jennifer20 for 20% off


I am eyeing the SKYE Odelie white short for summer as well. (code Jennifer20 for 20% off) I am very impressed with the quality of SKYE's clothing and think this would be a good addition to my summer wardrobe.



I hope you enjoy today's video.

Comment of the Week
Leslie M. writes, "I’m definitely still trying to figure out my style and paring down with each season. How often do you make buying mistakes these days? Since I’m starting out I have found I’ll try something on and love it only to find out it doesn’t work with my lifestyle. I’d love your insight on the trials and errors of figuring it out."


Hi Leslie, usually the mistakes I make are in buying pieces that are not high quality such as with the NeeSee's dresses blouse. The fabric seemed ok when I first purchased it, but it became clear after wearing and washing it, that it was not a good fit for me. Style-wise, I don't feel I make many mistakes now as I tend to enjoy wearing everything in my wardrobe.

Thank you for watching today's video. I would love to know how your summer ten-item wardrobe is coming along. Let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.

I do realize we are nearing the end of the summer season and many of us are already thinking about fall... but it is so hot here (can you relate??) that my summer ten-item capsule wardrobe is still going strong. In fact, it has been so hot here that many of my core items that have long sleeves are unwearable.



My cousin recently visited me and she was wearing the best-looking jumpsuits. I fell in love because they not only look presentable, but seemed so comfortable too.

In today's video I'm sharing style tips on how you can style a summertime jumpsuit or romper, particularly one with spaghetti straps as many of them have.

My jumpsuit is from Morning Lavender. Please note the jumpsuit I have is currently sold out. I am linking some other great options here:

I love this jumpsuit in black or taupe. It is gorgeous.

To check out all of the jumpsuits on Morning Lavender, click here.

Here is a link to all of the jumpsuits at Lulu's.

Here is a lovely jumpsuit on Amazon that has more coverage on top and comes in different colors. And a link to a casual, budget option on Amazon. These would be good for fall!


Here I'm wearing the jumpsuit with a floppy sunhat (linking similar) and Kork Ease sandal. If you plan to show your shoulders, it is advisable to wear a strapless bra or you could use breast petals.


Here I'm styling it with a cropped twist tee. This twist collar crop top would also be a great option. I'm wearing my Sam Edelman Gigi sandals here too.


Pairing the jumpsuit with a cropped sweater is a good option as you move into colder weather. I am linking a similar one here.


Paired with my button-down denim tie top (linking similar here and here), this has a lovely pulled-together look.


A cardigan pairs beautifully with a flowy jumpsuit like this. (Linking a similar one in cashmere).

A pashmina scarf covers the jumpsuit in a classy way.


A bonus look: a simple white tee underneath the jumpsuit looks casual and covers the shoulders nicely.

I thought you'd appreciate my Instagram post from this week... Can you relate to my daughter's doll?

Walked into my daughter’s room and found her American Girl doll like this. This is what I look like at the end of the day. She probably modeled this after me. Doll, I can relate! 😂 #connoisseurkids #dailyconnoisseur #sahm #momlife #momsbelike #americangirldoll

I've recently purchased and received your exquisite books and one on audio. You've got me listening to Scott Joplin and playing in the background while I home make. I've been watching Andre Rieu - Grande Valse Viennoise. I'm in anticipation of your monthly assignments. In short : you've brought chic to my home life , for which my Dear Husband truly appreciates. Thank you so much Jennifer. 🌹💜xx"
