wardrobe science
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.

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, [...]
When I first got into minimalist fashion, back before I was blogging my feelings about it on a semi-weekly basis, I tried an experiment. I picked out the plainest, most innocuous black dress in my closet and committed to wearing it for a full week. It was a fun little project, and it taught me [...]
