Adventures in Fashion, Parenting & Joie de Vivre
My craving for pretty pale pink didn’t quite begin with getting a rose gold pair of Beats headphones for Christmas, but it definitely gained momentum. Maybe it’s a reaction to the winter and I’m in need of a springtime palate cleanser, but suddenly pretty ballet pink accessories just seem so nice and fresh lately. I […]
I wasn’t planning on getting anything, really. I was just minding my business there in my local resale shop, walking up and down the aisles. I was waiting for the staff to rummage through the bag I had brought after doing my New Year closet cleaning. It wasn’t a big bag, so I knew I […]
If there is one thing I learned from my winter fashion capsule challenge, it’s that athleisure has become my sartorial default. For better or worse, I live in my workout clothes — which makes it easy to get to and from the gym. (No excuses!) But of course, there’s another side of me that values […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
