wardrobe science
Six products. 10 minutes. Glow up. When I went platinum I thought I'd have to give up all my makeup and buy everything in new shades. My hair stylist insisted that I would need to switch to cooler shades to compliment my hair, and that my typical routine of warmer, brown-based blushes and lip colors [...]
The first time I talked about the Tradlands Finch Flannel was in a quick little post about how to wear flannel to the office. Most often, though, I wear it on the weekends. Like, every weekend. In fact, it's become my most reached-for shirt on chilly Sunday mornings when I want to look put together [...]
Ever since going platinum, I've found myself drawn to edgier looks. I joked with a friend at the office yesterday that my new look is "punk rock business casual" but, well, maybe it wasn't really a joke? I love that this outfit is 100% business casual, but the styling details - the oversized blazer, the [...]
Not a lot to tell you guys about today's outfit except that I wore it because turtleneck + high waisted pants + basic pumps is always a winning look, and also because I could stuff all of these items into my gym bag with reasonable assurance that they wouldn't get wrinkled before work. We started [...]
I learned a very important wardrobe lesson in 2018: blazers are better than cardigans. To see some definitive proof of this statement, please look at the above and below outfits, which I wore to work today and yesterday, respectively. Paired with blazers, those outfits just work. Try to imagine them instead with cardigans - not [...]
I've been on vacation from work since December 20th, and if we're being 100% honest, I've probably only gotten dressed a few times since then. At home, I live in loungewear - usually black leggings and a comfortable tee, flannel, or fleece. Being on vacation was actually kind of eye opening for me because I [...]
You can learn a lot about yourself by posting a picture of your outfit on the Internet every day for a year. I know, because I did. This was a pivotal year for me – this space may not look like a lot, but to me, it’s a chronicle of everything. I’ve accomplished a lot, [...]
Let me start this post by saying that I am a hair idiot. I don't know how to do anything with my hair besides wash it, point a blow dryer at it until it is no longer wet, and when I'm feeling very ambitious, put a few curls in it with a wand. After that, [...]
Last winter I was very cold. My husband and I traveled up to New England for two weeks in December to see my family, and in addition to migrating from mild DC to the Great Frozen North, it also happened that we got hit with an unusual cold spell. I’m talking single digits every day. [...]
Hey everyone! Long time no see. You probably noticed that I promised you a bunch of blog posts over the last month, and instead, I wrote none. If it made you sad, I'm sorry. It makes me sad, too. I love Instagram (where I still post more-or-less daily), but this is my favorite space. This [...]
