wardrobe science
Aaaaaaand I'm back in the bathroom. Are you new around here? Are you wondering why all my photos are taken in a bathroom mirror? (ALSO HI. WELCOME.) It's because I am a real human person and I like to share the outfits that I actually wear in the scenarios where I actually wear them. So, [...]
I rarely manage to snap a photo of my work outfit in the daylight - since I leave the house before the sun is up and I don't get back until after it's set - but last night I suffered from extreme insomnia, which means we didn't get up early to go to the gym, [...]
I learned a very important wardrobe lesson in 2018: blazers are better than cardigans. To see some definitive proof of this statement, please look at the above and below outfits, which I wore to work today and yesterday, respectively. Paired with blazers, those outfits just work. Try to imagine them instead with cardigans - not [...]
I've been on vacation from work since December 20th, and if we're being 100% honest, I've probably only gotten dressed a few times since then. At home, I live in loungewear - usually black leggings and a comfortable tee, flannel, or fleece. Being on vacation was actually kind of eye opening for me because I [...]
Hey everyone! Long time no see. You probably noticed that I promised you a bunch of blog posts over the last month, and instead, I wrote none. If it made you sad, I'm sorry. It makes me sad, too. I love Instagram (where I still post more-or-less daily), but this is my favorite space. This [...]
One of the biggest topics of conversation around the ethical fashion water cooler these days is this: why does all ethical fashion look the same? Whitney Bauck at Fashionista wrote a great piece on this last week. In her article, Whitney talks about the consequences of ethical fashion subscribing to a single aesthetic, most notably, [...]
Hey, guys. First of all, I just want to say thank you. Thank you to everyone who shows up here and reads what I have to say, whether you've been reading from the beginning or this is the very first post you've ever seen. It means a lot to me that you spend a little [...]
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 [...]
It's about mid-way through the warm season here in Washington, DC and during that time I've been wearing a loosely defined capsule wardrobe of about 40 pieces. Overall, it's serving me well. I haven't been in a situation where I've had nothing to wear, but I also haven't worn everything. In fact, there are a [...]
When it comes to an approach to personal style, I've learned that people generally fall into one of two categories: rule followers or rule haters. Obviously, I am a rule follower. I basically don't even know how to dress myself if I don't have some sort of elaborate system of conditions to guide me (you [...]
