Adventures in Fashion, Parenting & Joie de Vivre
I know I’m fundamentally an optimistic person because I am a sucker for New Year resolutions. Fresh starts, renewed hope, a whole new year: I fall for the whole New Year racket every time. But I don’t really think you need to have them nailed down by the first of the year — we’re all […]
Is anyone watching “The Young Pope”? I wasn’t initially going to watch it — a drama about the Vatican sounds like a bit of a sausage fest to me, which isn’t my thing. But I caught the first episode and was mesmerized by it. It was genuinely filmic, with superb lyrical camera movement, cinematography and […]
I have a nice little collection of Everlane sweatshirts, t-shirts and bottoms happening, but one thing I didn’t have for awhile was an Everlane sweater. I’ve been coveting one for some time, though — their sweaters get high marks from other bloggers and reviewers for top-notch fabrics and workmanship. I wanted in on the Everlane […]
The #winter10x10 challenge is over! Yes, I did manage to wear only 10 pieces over 10 days — and without repeating an outfit. At times the restrictions annoyed me — but much less than I thought. In fact, the limitations actually helped, because I didn’t really have to think about what to wear. And during […]
+ While I wasn’t able to march in one this weekend, my heart was with all the people who participated in the women’s demonstrations. It was a historic event, and also the first time in awhile I’ve felt some semblance of hope and vibrancy about the U.S., politics and the future in a long, long […]
We’re in the home stretch of this little fashion challenge, and life has been so hectic the past few days that I’ve barely noticed my own clothes! I’ve taken on some new time-consuming duties at work, so having this tight little capsule wardrobe has reduced a lot of decision-making. All that mental energy can go […]
To be truthful, I’ve been feeling a little blah-ish lately — mid-winter doldrums, perhaps? And my outfits for this little wardrobe experiment have felt that way to me as well. It finally took me until outfits 5 to 6 to feel like I’m in a little of a groove. Outfit 5 was the first time […]
Fashion, guys! Doing this whole wardrobe remix has proven a bit more time-consuming than I realized, mostly because taking photos of myself makes me dither and dilly-dally — self-consciousness takes up a lot of energy. (I know, I know: a fashion blogger who hates taking photos of herself…) I still managed to keep myself entertained […]
We’re headed towards the halfway mark of this little wardrobe remix fashion challenge, and what have I learned from limiting to myself to 10 pieces of clothes for 10 days? The first lesson is: I really do wear a lot of workout clothes. Like any other fleece jacket-wearing busy mama, I have my “thing” and […]
It was a bit of a pity that my 10 pieces/10 days/10 outfits challenge had to start on the front-end of my week, which is pretty loaded. It’s when I have the most energy and try to do the most: work, jobs, errands, exercise, general toddler wrangling projects, client-involving stuff. Part of the key to […]
