Remember when you used to care about fashion -- when you used to know who wore what to the Oscars and the Emmys, and when the arrival of the 25 pound September Vogue was an occasion to be celebrated? You know, back before you had kids and everything you owned had to be machine washable and playground appropriate.

Remember that?

You can still indulge your fashionable side, even if it's just vicariously -- and we've got a great place to do it. Our favorite lifestyle blog, StyleDash, has merged with AOL's style channel, StyleList, to create the Internet's go-to site for all things fashion.

If you're looking for the things you loved at StyleDash, they're all still there at the StyleList blog -- and more great things are coming!

Because even if you've been wearing that same t-shirt for three days (and nights) it's fun to see what's out there in the world of fashion. Hop on over and take a look! You might feel inspired to get dressed. Or at least change that t-shirt.

How would you describe your marriage? Happy? Satisfying? Meh? Does it depend on the checking account balance? Or how the kids are behaving? Or just on the weather? You know, divorce is always an option. And according to Ellen Tien, it is an option that many of us fantasize about on a regular basis.

In an essay titled "She's happily married, dreaming of divorce" originally published in the May issue of O Magazine, Tien describes her own marriage as "Less than bliss, better than disaster." She says that she and her husband "remain if not happily married, then steadily so." In other words, they're not divorced. Yet.

But, she claims, she thinks constantly about the possibility of divorce, acknowledges it as an option. It is just an option she has not yet exercised. In this, she says, she is not unlike other women her age and class -- we are all dreaming of divorce despite the fact that we claim to be happily married.

The t-shirt is a wardrobe basic, no matter who you are or what you do all day, but when you're a mom, you rely even more on the trusty tee. It's easy to wear, easy to wash, and easy to find. No fuss, no muss, no hassle.

Just make sure you're not sacrificing style for simplicity.

The basic crew neck tee is versatile and comfy and can indeed be dressed up, for day or evening; add a cool necklace or scarf, or a pretty cardigan, and your tee can go pretty much anywhere. But don't just default to the crew neck -- mix it up a little when you shop for tees. Look for pretty necklines with ruching or fancy sleeves; go for colors that aren't white or black or gray.

Here are five tee alternatives, all from Old Navy, all for under $25.00. Wear them with your yoga pants and your jeans and -- even! -- a skirt. Wash and dry and go, go, go.

Why we love this: Because some days, you want to skip the tee all together. This tunic is a great alternative; simple and classic and unfussy but a little nicer than what you're probably wearing. Tunic shape is great for moms who have a bit more on top or a little extra through the middle.

Wear it with: Long shorts until it's cool; boot-cut jeans when the weather turns. Layer it over a tank or long sleeved tee for cooler days.

Old Navy tiered pleated tunic, $24.50. Available in XS to XL, in four colors. Get two. You'll thank us.

Why we love this: Because some days, yoga pants are as dressed up as you want -- or need -- to get.

Wear it with: The yoga pants, of course, but also jeans and shorts and a casual skirt and comfortable flat shoes. But this piece is best for upping the ante on those Saturday errands or the pre-shower car pool drop off.

Old Navy lightweight hoodie, $17.50. Available in XS to XXL, in three solids and four stripes. Steer clear of the stripes if you're not very very thin. Trust us on this one.

Why we love this: A boatneck tee is a nice alternative to a traditional crewneck. Best for girls with small shoulders and smaller breasts.

Wear it with: Jeans or cropped pants or yoga pants or a skirt or ... tees go with everything, you know.

Old Navy boatneck tee, $15.00 (currently $10.00 each if you buy two or more). Available in XS to XL in white, blue, and bright yellow.

Why we love this: The polo gets a new twist with a frilly collar and puffed sleeves. This isn't his polo -- this one is all yours.

Wear it with: Khakis for a classic Preppy look, a skirt for Sunday brunch, or your yoga pants for carpool line.

Old Navy ruffle collar polo, $15.00 currently $10.00. Available in XS to XXL, in seven great shades.

Why we love this: Purple is huge for fall, but it's such a bold color that it can be hard to work into your existing wardrobe. This top has a soft, feminine line that is both chic and casual.

Wear it with: Jeans (of course!) or black cropped pants, or a great skirt.

Old Navy cap sleeve empire top, $14.50 currently $10.00. Available in XS to XXL, in four colors other than purple (but purple is HUGE this fall -- go for it).

Let's face it: if you are wrangling kids all day (even if it's not every day) you need great flat shoes, the kind that you can walk a thousand miles in, and that let you run or climb when necessary. Instead of opting for flip flops or Crocs because they're easy, choose a flat with some style and panache, and give your kid-wrangling duds a little bit of style.

When you are shopping for a flat, look for a sturdy sole, something that's not slippery; look for a toe box that is wide enough to accommodate your foot comfortably; look for a cushioned insole to keep your legs happy. When you shop for lower end shoes, think about buying one size up and adding a gel insert, to keep feet and legs from getting worn out mid day.

Look for color and details, too, because your shoes should be part of your whole look, not just something you toss on as you leave the house.

Here are five great flats for late summer and early fall. Put those Crocs away and put on some pretty shoes.

Metallic flats are a simple way to give your Mom Uniform an edge.

Why we love these: Clean styling in a metallic faux leather is classic and trendy all at once.

Wear them with: Capri pants or boot cut jeans; choose a hemline that hits either at the ankle or within half an inch of the floor.
