Post of the Day

Four goats named Penny, Babydoll, Mark, and Dave are pictured against a scenic background of trees and water. Text: "Meet the New Members of the Eco-Grazing Crew."
Post via @chattaudubon
Meet Penny, Babydoll, Mark, and Dave: the newest members of the eco-grazing crew headed to Maclellan Island. We’ve got to say, their raffle-picked names fit perfectly. This summer, they’ll get their munch on while clearing invasive plants — a win-win for the goats and Chattanooga wildlife.

The Buy

It’s almost March — yay. But also, what should you wear? Here’s one complete outfit that can carry you through the sometimes chilly, sometimes temperate days of late winter, all under $150 while sales last:

🌤️ This pashmina-blend wrap shawl is delivering way too much chicness for just $20.
🌤️ Wear it over a cotton button down for a versatile look.
🌤️ Pair your tops with wrinkle-free, stretch waist trousers to keep things casual. (Chilly day? Throw some long underwear on underneath).
🌤️ Elongate your leg line with pointed-toe flats in a color that matches your pants.
🌤️ Top it all off with a Favorite Daughter baseball cap.
