Office Outfitting 02: the utility blouse
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.

Home Sweet …How did I get here?
Really, the time to start a blog would have been about 10 months ago. When I tell you why, though, you’ll understand why it never happened, (and why the stories from that time were probably gold). The last half of 2013 I was finishing my bachelor’s degree with a 17-hour course load, working in marketing … Continue reading Home Sweet …How did I get here?
