Style blogger Shana Draugelis of www.themomedit.com and family-life writer Meagan Francis dissect current fashion trends and give advice for making style personal, fun, and above all, wearable - for moms and anyone.
One of the best things about the fall and winter season? It’s SWEATER WEATHER! But while they’re cozy, comfy, and versatile, sweaters can also be surprisingly difficult to wear well. Shana and Meagan discuss lengths and fabrics that flatter, how to pull off the sweater dress look, giving a big bulky sweater extra pizzazz, how to layer for extra warmth without adding too much bulk, how to pull off the half-tuck with a sweater, and that perennial topic – turtlenecks, yay or nay?
Oh, leggings. Perhaps no trend has inspired as much controversy of late as these stretchy, comfy, versatile and increasingly stylish pants which, Meagan and Shana agree, ARE DEFINITELY PANTS. In episode 7 of The Style Hour, Shana and Meagan discuss those ever-evolving legging – what’s new, what’s hot now, how to wear them and what to pair them with – plus, Shana’s sister Scotti, a makeup artist and contributor at The Mom Edit, discusses makeup basics from foundation to primer to BB/CC cream to concealer and more.

White is so fresh, and clean, and summery. It can also be tricky to wear. In Episode 6 Meagan and Shana talk about some of the challenges to wearing white, and how to pull off the look this summer.
And last but not least…Meagan promised to give herself a white manicure (color: Marshmallow by Essie) and post the results here. Here it is, admittedly rather messy…and, for good measure, with a matte coat on top. It’s a cool look…but Meagan stands by her argument that white matte nails TOTALLY look like dinner mints.
From slim shorts to man-jewelry, Shana and Meagan discuss updating your guy’s style in honor of Father’s Day.

Today Shana and Meagan discuss bra options for tricky tops and how to get over your racerback hangups (just.buy.a.racerback.bra.already.people.) Shana also discusses her favorite new look for summer 2015 – white denim flares. Meagan mostly just tries to keep up.

How does your personal style compare to what you wore a few years ago? Is “your style” something that’s just always, well, YOU, or does – and should! – it adapt, change and evolve over time? In this episode of The Style Hour, Meagan and Shana discuss some of Shana’s reader comments about her changing style, why and how she’s evolved over the years, and why stepping outside of your style comfort zone can be rewarding.
An easy little sundress is Meagan’s summer uniform, but she’s got some questions for Shana today: what dress styles are in (and which are getting tired?) What’s the most flattering cut for a mom’s body? How to jazz up a simple dress to take it beyond the beach? As usual, Shana’s got answers! Listen on for tips to inspire your summer dress collection (and beyond.)
Ladies, take it from 13-year-old Meagan: there are good rompers and bad rompers. (But Meagan did manage to find a good one at Target! In 2015, not 1990.)
How NOT to wear a romper. Unless it’s 1990.
In this episode Shana and Meagan discuss jumpsuits and rompers, swimsuit styles that really flatter a mom body (Shana’s opinion? Show them cheeks. Her husband Mike agrees), and the return of styles that were big when 30-somethings were adolescents. Yes, that includes overalls.
Meagan cops to considering this Modcloth jumpsuit. Shana says “mehhh…” to the print on that one, but “yay!” to this sexy, bright number and this sleek black jumpsuit with cutouts. She also claims that skinny-leg overalls are totally flattering and not too “Lisa Left-Eye Lopez” 90s. What do you think?
All in all, they spend a lot of time in this episode talking about Meagan’s butt, and at one point Meagan has to take her pants off mid-episode to check the label. But really, this one’s all about dressing gracefully and stylishly as you get older – while still looking like YOU. Enjoy!
