I promised a series on “Office Outfitting” once upon a time and got so far as week one before backburnering the idea for a year and a half and crushing oh so many hopes and dreams. Because I just know you all totally noticed, and totally care, and have been totally devastated. I’ll take a … Continue reading Office Outfitting 02: the utility blouse

Gingham & Girlfriend Jeans
Alternate Post Titles: A day in the life of a girl who doesn't have a handle on hair & humidity, yet. How to feel like a recycled tablecloth in the very best way. A Tale of Two Bargains When I plucked it from the rack, this top felt edgy & trendy with a follow the yellow … Continue reading Gingham & Girlfriend Jeans
The gift that made me cancel Birchbox
My mother-in-law is the kind of woman who just gives you things. It's fantastic. (Note: I hate calling her my mother-in-law. Let's call her my friend Michelle.She's been my friend Michelle much longer.) My friend Michelle is acutely in tune with her personal style and what fits her body type and image, and has a serious knack … Continue reading The gift that made me cancel Birchbox
Office Outfitting: week one edition
I unsubscribed from job alerts this week. It was the most freeing click of a button I've maybe ever experienced. Being the Robin that I am, a small (large) part of me was particularly excited by this turn of employment events because it meant dusting off my pumps and slacks from their 4 month hiatus … Continue reading Office Outfitting: week one edition
Casual Friday 02
Somewhere around the time a tearful Kelly Clarkson belted and melted Americas' hearts through a downpour of confetti rain for the first time was about the last time I rocked a true denim flare. I haven't NOT been silently rooting for their comeback since they started popping back up on the regular the past few years! I'm just one of a … Continue reading Casual Friday 02
Autumn Indulgences: my 4 c’s
“I love fall.” –The thread uniting basic white girls across America the moment temperatures dip just low enough to bust out a blanket scarf and snap a story sipping pumpkin spiced anything logo'd with the green mermaid stamp of approval . Truth: I am not immune to this sentiment. There’s a reason it’s so wildly and mockably popular! Fall is terrific. To me, it’s … Continue reading Autumn Indulgences: my 4 c’s
Casual Friday 01
To some of you, "Casual Friday" may conjure images of one particularly campy season-five scene at Dunder Mifflin (da****, Meredith!). (I’ll spare the rest of the scene in the unfortunate event you haven’t seen The Office –in which case, quit reading now and go do that instead.) To others, today is simply “praise Jesus, it’s jeans-and-go … Continue reading Casual Friday 01
Trend Love: Boho Chic
Where bohemian meets romantic, I am unreservedly smitten. My spirit isn't so much Free as OCD, making Boho Chic as as close as I feel comfortable getting to straight up Bohemia-ville with my style, as pretty as I find it. Realistically I'm not a total nonconforming, runs through daisies flower child. I'm just not. Coupled with the fact … Continue reading Trend Love: Boho Chic
Spring Trend Crush: Florals + Stripes
I wouldn't call my style adventurous. I usually feel safest inside the confines of some well-mixed basics, textures, and an occasional color pop. Then sometimes... Sometimes -when the right piece speaks to me- it's fun to break outside of my boring, basic-loving skin and shake things up. My trend crush this spring has hands down been … Continue reading Spring Trend Crush: Florals + Stripes
Valentine’s Outfit Inspiration
I swooned for this asymmetrical dress immediately. Not only is it an obvious and easy choice for a Valentine's date, but I'll rock heart polka dots year round. I love that it feels completely February 14 without being made of red or pink tulle -it's easy to forget subtle details or patterns can be just as festive in … Continue reading Valentine’s Outfit Inspiration
