I needed a little lift the other day, so I put on a special top. Top: Comme de Garcons from The RealReal; Pants: Banana Republic; Shoes and Belt: JCrew * I have been asking The Photographer, “Is you ready?” ever since. Was I ready in 2018? You bet! The Red Sox won … Read moreAn Extra Lift + Deep, Dark Secret

After reading the New York State Bar Association’s guidance on resuming work in law firm offices and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s operating schedule for the remainder of 2020, I am wondering when I will be back in my corner office, Monday – Friday . . . * Personally, I have been … Read moreCasual and Neutral
Somehow my WFH wardrobe feels very small. Is that possible? If you disagree, I’ve taken a few photos with the scarf removed. * When I posed the question to the group, it’s hard to say who was more astonished.
