On Election Tuesday, she dressed in spirited red, white, and blue, feeling both patriotic and—dare she say—stylish. Her navy blue shorts balanced the cheerful plaid turtleneck that, in her opinion, was the perfect blend of festive and cozy. Her go-to sneakers kept her grounded and ready for the long day ahead, from morning drop-offs to polling place lines. Gold hoops and her favorite necklace? Check. But the real MVP was the "I Voted" sticker proudly adorning her top, a small but mighty accessory that spoke volumes about making her voice heard—one chic vote at a time.

On a drizzly Monday that begged for cozy layers, she reached for her classic camel crew neck sweater—the kind of warm staple that feels like a gentle hug—tucking it just right into her wide-leg jeans. Her go-to sneakers were ready to take on the rain, proving yet again that they were as reliable as any best friend. Her gold hoops and necklace added the familiar touch of sparkle to keep things pulled together as she headed off to daycare drop-off, where Miles trotted inside happily. With a quiet, coffee-fueled day ahead to catch up on blog work, she actually felt almost…dare she say it…relaxed.

My week as a romcom: Ashley, the effortlessly cool stay-at-home mom, had planned Halloween week down to the last candy corn. Monday kicked off with a half-day daycare drop-off to ease into the week, followed by a warm-up round of trick-or-treating in the bustling business district, where her little one charmed shop owners with his tiny costume and enthusiastic “trick-or-treat!” Tuesday’s toddler fitness class had him hopping through obstacles like a Halloween pro, while she mentally ran through the candy stockpile already growing at home. By Wednesday, they were off to a Halloween-themed music class, shaking maracas to spooky tunes and adding to the festive chaos. Thursday was all about pumpkins at Little Book Club, followed by an evening round of trick-or-treating that felt like a mini Halloween marathon. And on Friday? A nearly full daycare day—Ashley’s brilliant idea to reclaim a few hours of sanity after a week of costumes, candy, and nonstop festivities. It was chaotic, it was sugary, and Ashley was already wondering if it was too early to start planning next year’s costumes.

The Friday after Halloween called for comfort, and she delivered in dark wash wide-leg jeans and a chunky blue sweater that practically hugged her back. Her go-to new sneakers were on duty, perfect for balancing the laid-back look with a hint of mom-on-the-go style. With her gold hoops—because even in post-Halloween recovery mode, the details matter—she navigated the day mostly at daycare, where everyone was still a little sugared-up and sleepy. It was a cozy, low-key day, just what she needed after a week of costumes, candy, and toddler antics.

A holiday look inspired by Josephine Reynolds or her great-grandmother Alma from The Vanishing of Josephine Reynolds by Jennifer Moorman might be just the ticket to feel like the main character in your own life. Channel Josephine's quiet resilience and newfound sense of purpose with a look that’s both elegant and timeless, perhaps a vintage-inspired dress in soft, wintry tones paired with modern accessories for a nod to both the past and present. Alternatively, embrace the bold, Jazz Age glamour of Alma with a daring flapper-style dress, adorned with sequins or fringe, paired with a faux fur stole or sparkling accessories. Each look carries a sense of transformation, evoking the spirit of stepping through time, just as Josephine did, and celebrating your own ability to rewrite the story with courage, style, and grace.

For Halloween at Little Book Club, she leaned into cozy-chic vibes with a pair of wide-leg jeans and the coziest ivory and camel sweater she snagged from her friend’s boutique—one of those perfect finds that manages to look casual yet thoughtfully put together. Her new favorite sneakers made chasing tiny costume-clad readers around a breeze, and, of course, her everyday gold hoops and necklace added that signature touch. With storytime shivers and giggles aplenty, it was a Halloween she’d never forget, filled with tiny superheroes, dinosaurs, and witches discovering the magic of books.

On this unexpected, balmy Wednesday in late October, she went for a balance of festive-meets-practical: green pleated shorts paired with a crisp long-sleeve white tee, a nod to Halloween without sweltering in a full autumn ensemble. Her go-to new sneakers kept up with her toddler’s endless enthusiasm, and her everyday gold hoops and necklace added just the right bit of polish. She couldn’t help but laugh at her weather-defying “fall” outfit—perfectly suited for chasing down mini ghost-and-goblin dance partners at music class while the sun shone like summer.

For this unseasonably warm, 78-degree Tuesday in late October, she ditched the layers and pulled on her trusty biker shorts and a coordinating tank, tossed on an oversized sweatshirt for good measure, and laced up her go-to new sneakers. The finishing touches—her everyday gold hoops—added just the right amount of sparkle for a morning at their final toddler fitness class of the season. She couldn’t help but smile at the irony of her little pumpkin bouncing around while she sported an outfit that felt more summer than Halloween week.

On this brisk Monday, she pulled on her brown waxed jeans and an ivory tank layered under a perfectly slouchy cardigan—a combo that gave major "grandpa smoking a pipe in the library" vibes but with a chic, feminine twist (the gold hoops and delicate necklace helped!). Her Mexican mules completed the look, adding a hint of artisanal flair that balanced cozy with cool. After a productive morning split between daycare and coworking, she was ready to trade "grandpa chic" for Halloween treats, heading back for an afternoon of festive fun, costumes, and tiny ghosts and goblins with her little sidekick.

Wearing a green cropped t-shirt that shows just enough of a carefree vibe, paired with wide-legged jeans that add a touch of retro flair, she feels effortlessly cool and confident. The gold hoop earrings catch the light with every movement, adding just the right amount of shine to her laid-back look. As she sips on a delicious glass of red wine, the bold flavors mirror her own boldness, making her feel present and powerful. In that moment, she’s the main character in her own life, savoring every bit of freedom and individuality that her style and mood bring to the day.

It was a staycation weekend away—36 glorious, toddler-free hours with her husband—and she packed just the right mix of cozy and chic. For date night, she went all out with her faux leather leggings and a plaid sparkle blouse that shimmered just enough under the dim lights of the cocktail bar, her everyday gold hoops catching the glow as they sipped martinis and laughed like they hadn't in ages. By day, it was wide-legged jeans paired with a striped tee under her trusty tan sweater blazer, effortlessly cool and perfect for exploring the city hand-in-hand. Those gold hoops never left her ears, the one accessory she didn't change, no matter if it was cocktails or coffee. A well-deserved break from the chaos—and one she wasn’t rushing to end.

Ashley, the effortlessly cool stay-at-home mom, was back in her SAHM groove, kicking off the week with a smooth half-day daycare drop-off on Monday—a little warm-up lap for them both. By Tuesday, she and her son were tackling the toddler fitness class, where he showed off his climbing skills while she mentally prepped for the full-throttle week ahead. Wednesday’s kid’s music class had them singing along to Halloween tunes, all while she kept slipping in little "trick-or-treat" practice at home, coaching her son on his “please” and “thank you” with every imaginary candy handout. Thursday’s Little Book Club gave her a taste of adult conversation, while Friday brought the grand finale: the Halloween Costume Party. Ashley had spent all week working her costume magic, getting her son used to his little outfit, which he’d actually kept on for the entire party! (Reality check: it lasted ten minutes.) They laughed, danced, and munched on spooky treats, and as the day wound down, Ashley knew they were both ready for the big day—costume, candy, and all.

For this festive Friday, she pulled on her trusty black skinny jeans and an old favorite black-and-white sweater—a cozy staple that had seen many seasons, but somehow felt just right for a Halloween Costume Party. Black leather slip-ons kept things sleek (and prepared her for any costume-related chases), while her everyday gold jewelry added the perfect touch of understated sparkle. At Little Book Club, Miles and his besties transformed into a parade of mini heroes and creatures, joining the whole club in a whirlwind of storybook fun. Her outfit may not have screamed “costume,” but it was perfect for cheering on the tiny animals, superheroes, and her little airplane at the party.

Inspired by the bold and enigmatic Hollywood icon Vivian Snow from Emily Bleeker's When We Chased the Light, wearing a bright pink suit might just be the perfect way to embody the main character energy in your own life. The vibrant color channels the power and grace that Vivian exuded as she navigated the highs and lows of fame, love, and the secrets of her past. Like Vivian, the suit is both striking and sophisticated, making a statement that you are in control of your story, no matter the challenges or mysteries that lie beneath the surface.
