Though I am not a religious person, I am a bit of a fatalist, which causes me to believe that there is purpose behind seemingly inexplicable things which will be revealed to me at the right time. For instance, I have occasionally wondered why I launched this blog. And now I know: … Read more
It seems like I was just complaining about the cold and rain . . . and now it’s in the mid-90s, and I can’t let that pass without comment. Negative comment. Allow me to recommend the white eyelet skirt as a summer basic. I bought this one from Garnet Hill 6 years ago. It … Read more
While taking stock of my summer clothes, I was startled to realize that even though my dresses cover the rainbow, there is some typecasting in pants and skirts. I own three blue skirts, three pairs of fatigue green pants, and three pairs of white pants. So interesting! I had no idea it would look … Read more
Last Friday, I looked up this blog (this, my own blog) while waiting for the Metro. I can see it all unfolding. And speaking of growth, this post is No. 400! That feels like a milestone, doesn’t it? If you enjoy this blog, help me build this community by recommending it to … Read more

I got rid of a few things, decided that I could revive a few neglected items by pairing them with interesting belts, and realized that I didn’t need anything, … Read more
Continuing the week’s early run on high summer clothes, I offer another very white ensemble. Vest: 3.1 Phillip Lim; Blouse: ASOS; Pants: Ann Taylor; Shoes: Cole Haan; Bag: Tory Burch * Oh, I wore it. ** Of course I am thinking of Tralfamadore.
It was really hot last week. Or, it felt really hot to me when the temperatures rose to the mid 80s after a long, cold spring. Did any of you actually see The Revenant? It would have been difficult, if not impossible, to keep this white outfit spotless through the events that transpired … Read more
Last weekend, I collected my thoughts and planned on paper the posts that I will put together for the next three months. By “planned on paper” I only mean that I jotted down as many ideas for outfits (and weighty topics) as I could picture in my head in five minutes flat. Scribble, scribble, … Read more
