A great tip for a gorgeous gown without breaking the bank: Buy a bridesmaid dress in white! It won’t have a long train, but you can get a pretty solid dress for $300 or less.

What about a colourful sash? Here’s some inspo from Amsale.

RIP, Amsale. Her simple, streamlined, classic gowns will be missed.

That’s a surprisingly classic look from JWoww.

The US Congress does not offer maternity leave for female members, and if a member were to take leave, she would be unable to vote on legislation, as all votes must be made in person. Instead of fixing this glaring problem, they decided to allow moms to bring their infants onto the floor to vote.

Of course he doesn’t know what a diaper bag is. That’s something for women to worry about.

What a little nugget!

I desperately need those green pumps from the ‘60s. Swooooon!

Shoutout to a fellow skater! Figure Skating in Harlem is such a great organization, and I’m so glad that Beyonce has drawn some attention to what they’re doing.

I was thinking about Beyonce while watching her performance last weekend. I wonder how often she gets to go out to dinner. That level of fame would open so many doors, but it also closes so many.

It would be significantly more disruptive, but I believe it is also necessary.

That’s absolutely not true. It would be very easy for Congress to allow proxy voting for new parents and anyone on long-term medical leave (like John McCain). The ban on proxy voting is a Senate rule; it’s not in the Constitution. They could change it if they wanted to.

Her eyebrows look fuller than normal, so maybe that’s messing with our perception?

I feel like every step team across the nation - male and female - has been busy learning that breakdown.

I am very white, but HBCU marching bands are among my favorite things. I hope your daughter enjoys her band days!

I yelled OHHHH SHIIIITTTT out loud when they mashed up Back That Azz Up and Crazy In Love. I was extremely hype sitting in my bed with my laptop and noise-cancelling headphones. My husband had to check on me several times.

I am Catholic. I’ve gone through baptism, First Communion, and confirmation. I went to Catholic universities. My Catholic husband and I were married in a full Mass by my uncle, who is a priest. When we have a baby someday, we will baptise that baby in the Catholic Church.

Oh, that’s cute. I love a family name.

Fuck people bringing their dogs to work. I don’t understand why we as a society are becoming more tolerant of dogs being everywhere all the time.

Yeah, I’m with you. I generally don’t think work is an appropriate place for babies. I’d much rather she be able to have maternity leave than bring her child with her to the floor. It’s fucking insane that in 2018, the United States Congress doesn’t have rules in place for people who need to take medical leave.
