wardrobe science
If you've been following along with me from the beginning, you may remember that one of my earliest projects was a weird little thing that I eventually titled Spreadsheet Wardrobe. Basically, I chose a certain number of clothes to wear in a month, and then, in one sitting, I planned out every single day of [...]
Settle in, guys. This is going to be a long one. Last week, I posted a photo on my Instagram account with this caption: Yes, I wore this shirt two days in a row. Yes, I wear these pants at least twice a week. Yes, I sometimes wish I had more clothes, but I'm also [...]
We're officially one month in to the Slow Fashion Summer Challenge! For those of you who may be unfamiliar, Slow Fashion Summer is a project spearheaded by the group CollAction, in which participants are encouraged to stop buying new clothes for the entire summer (June 21-September 21). According to the official rules, you can swap, [...]
Do you guys remember how last month I wrote a very gung-ho post about embarking on a #slowfashionsummer no-buy experiment, where I don’t buy any new clothes until September because I am an extremely talented minimalist and already have everything I need? Yeah, well, that all kind of crashed and burned this week when I [...]

Last week, I had a really ambitious idea that I would share my full packing list for my recent business trip on my blog - every single item in my suitcase, day-by-day outfits, my skin care routine, etc. I was really excited about it. I made lists. I took 10,000 flat lay photos. I got [...]
When I started buying second-hand, it was because I had just graduated from college and I needed to look like a Certified Adult ASAP if I wanted to get a job. Luckily for me, the consignment shops of Washington, DC are like mid-range business casual Mecca. Ann Taylor suits. J. Crew cashmere sweaters. Banana Republic [...]
An important thing to know about me is that I'm not a style blogger in the traditional sense. I didn't come here because I have superior fashion abilities that I needed to share with the world - quite the opposite, actually. I'm here because my wardrobe has always been my biggest insecurity, and until recently, [...]
I'm not really a review kind of blog, mainly because I don't buy clothing that often, and when I do, it's usually just something basic that I needed from Poshmark. I try to limit my clothing purchases to garments that were either ethically produced or thrifted, and since ethical clothing is expensive and we are [...]
