wardrobe science
It was a weird week for weather, with one day topping out at close to 100 degrees and others barely breaking 70. But Capital Weather Gang has officially declared summer over and fall begun, so this morning I spent a good deal of time going through the clothes in my cold-weather storage suitcase and updating [...]
I take a picture of myself almost every single day. I started doing it over a year ago, mostly for Instagram, but I kept at it even when I left social media in December. I post some of the photos here, but the majority of them I keep for myself. One of the main reasons [...]
Meghan Markle wore an Everlane jumpsuit and black heels, so I wore an Everlane jumpsuit and black heels. But actually. After I saw the Duchess of Sussex in her Everlane Essential Jumpsuit while on a visit to South Africa, I was compelled to copy her outfit as exactly as I possible could. You know, as [...]
Once upon a time, my husband and I lived in the city, right in DC proper, a literal stone's throw away from the National Zoo. It was so easy to simply step out of our apartment and head off to a museum, a park, an art show, or a cool bar or restaurant. I had [...]
I don't really know what my blogging identity is these days. I've been doing this for over a year and a half - I just thought at some point I'd hit my stride and be more consistent in terms of content and style. I've tried blogging about a lot of different things - sustainability, minimalism, [...]
Listen guys. I love summer, I really do. I love the beach, the sun, summer clothes, and long, hot days. But it's September. And 100 degrees outside. And I am OVER. IT.

Fall is not here yet, no matter what Starbucks says, so I'm trying to dress accordingly. This time of year, when the humidity drops and the sun starts getting lower in the sky, it takes all my strength to remember that September afternoons still regularly top 80 degrees, and it's not smart to pack away [...]
Today we're talking about returns. And boobs. I'm surprised that returns don't get talked about more often in slow fashion spaces. The carbon footprint associated with making a return is significant, and yet people are returning their purchases more than ever. Obviously, the convenience of online shopping and the success of online-only clothing retailers plays [...]
August has been a light posting month, but it's been good to take a little time away and just enjoy my summer. We just got home from a blissful week in Rhode Island where we basically did nothing but eat, lay on the beach, and hide from the world (sorry friends and fam if you [...]
In the last few weeks, my outfits have fallen into a lazy summer rhythm. I tend toward the same colors, shapes, and textures each day, and getting dressed is uneventful. It's been good to lean on that at a time when my day job is busier than ever. My wardrobe is pretty much dialed in, [...]
