wardrobe science
After an unseasonably chilly beginning of the month, it's finally starting to feel like summer in DC! Today I put together the simplest outfit possible for a day of work-from-home, dog walking, dinner cooking, and homework. I think that this tank top and jeans would work as a great base for a ton of different [...]
I've been blogging about personal style for almost two years, but I don't think I really hit my stride getting dressed until the late spring of this year. I took a look through all my outfit photos from 2019 in preparation for this post, but I didn't see even one that I really liked until [...]
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, [...]
I'm trying hard to view weight gain as a neutral event - neither good nor bad, simply a thing that is happening that is not worth much of my time or attention. Because I am a human woman, this is basically impossible. Even as a conventionally thin person, I've been trained my entire life to [...]
Tonight I'm bringing you some wisdom from the eve of my third business trip in as many weeks: I cannot do All The Things. I am busy and stressed out to the point where I sometimes google "deep breathing GIFs" and then breathe along with a pretty GIF for five minutes until I'm no longer [...]
Last year, I swore off totes. As some background, up until about August of 2018 I'd been using my Madewell Canvas Transport Tote as my main bag for every day. But then I started to get some serious shoulder pain. It eventually got so bad that I had to go to the doctor because even [...]
I'm baaaaaack! My husband and I got home from Florida yesterday morning and I'm finally feeling like myself again. The weeks leading up to this trip were stressful and difficult, and even though my workload hasn't changed (it's actually increased, if anything) I feel more emotionally equipped to keep all these plates spinning after a [...]
Not a lot on the blog this week because I was staffing an important meeting at work over the last couple of days. In terms of getting dressed, big meetings and conferences are always fun opportunities for me. I know a lot of people hate getting dressed up in business formal attire for a meeting, [...]
I haven't posted much this past week since I've been busy having multiple existential crises per day, but I'm here today to show that I was indeed wearing clothes the entire time, and some of them were pretty cute. I didn't manage to get a photo of my two favorite outfits of the week because [...]
Today I thought I'd share some outfits with you that, at the time I was wearing them, didn't seem good enough to blog about. OUTFIT 1 What I'm Wearing: Everlane Square Cashmere Turtleneck, Heather Gray ($150, wearing size XS), Elizabeth Suzann Clyde Vest in Cotton Canvas, Clay ($210, wearing size XS), Everlane Day Boots, Black [...]
