wardrobe science
Why is it that not shopping is so hard? Whenever we embark on a purposeful period of little to no consumption, we call it a challenge, and it really is. I've been hemming and hawing over whether or not to participate in this year's Slow Fashion Summer challenge because, frankly, I like getting new stuff. [...]
Thanks to everyone who chimed in with thoughts on my most recent post lamenting my lack of a perfectly cohesive closet. I definitely idolize Lee (of Style Bee) and other bloggers who are so consistent in their style and professional with their photographs, but I know that many of you follow me because of the [...]
Yesterday Lee of Style Bee posted a really nice piece about how she maintains her personal style. I've followed Lee for a long time, and one thing that I really admire about her is how consistent her look is. In a lineup of different outfits, I'm sure that I could pick out hers in a [...]
At the office this morning my cubicle neighbor told me that I looked like Indiana Jones and I was not mad about it. Today I'm wearing a silk shirt from Madewell that I bought secondhand on Poshmark, my Blake Goods belt, Everlane Wide Leg Chinos, and Everlane Day Heels (gifted). In other news, I am [...]
I took a break from posting starting last Friday, and even though I'm feeling a little disappointed with myself for falling off the wagon so early into the challenge, personally, it was the right move. I was doing too much and I needed to rest. Despite having to take a hiatus from posting, I still [...]
It's not a secret that I don't have great skin. Acne is a condition that I've been dealing with for over 10 years, and I talk about it fairly frequently here and in my daily life. Two months ago, I started earnestly on a regimen of prescription Retin-A, which, if you don't know, is a [...]
I had a big deadline last night that I'm happy to say I met, so after a few nights of burning the midnight oil for this project, it was a comfy pants/uniform kind of day. A white shirt. Black pants. Neutral shoes. As long as I have that, I always have something to wear. Outfit [...]
This dress is new. To me. I once saw it in a store window in Loft, fell in love, and since then I've been thinking about it, kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance. Last week, I decided on a whim to go searching for it on Poshmark, and there it [...]
Sadly, dear readers, I must offer you today's outfit without much commentary. I got dressed. I liked my outfit. I stayed in my house writing all day and no one saw this except for my family and anyone I might have passed in the neighborhood while walking my dog. I am. So. Tired. Outfit details: [...]
This project has forced me to do something I almost never do: get dressed on a Saturday. Usually I spend the majority of the day in my pajamas, or transition into my home-clothes (aka different pajamas) around 3pm, but yesterday I decided it might be fun to explore an athleisure vibe with my cotton-cashmere sweater [...]
