Let’s Zoom!

  To those of you who responded to my last post, thank you for answering my question. We have a deal! I’ll keep posting, you’ll keep reading, and all of us understand that this blog is just a harmless way of connecting and amusing one another for a few minutes each day. We all deserve … Read more

Casual and Neutral

  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 more

It’s A Jungle In Here

  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. ThEM, because they had never previously given thought to this question or … Read more

The Fifty Cent Dress That Wasn’t There

  A couple of months ago, I bought a Fifty Cent Dress for spring.   It will keep until fall. Or spring 2021. I am including these next two photos because they capture a micro expression that I think is funny.   In an effort to avoid congested sidewalks, I’ve been walking on the side … Read more

In Marni We Trust

  In January, when COVID-19 was just a speck on the horizon, I spent some time (truthfully, only a few minutes) jotting down ideas for spring and summer posts.

A Fast Jacket Meets Action Slacks

  Before my seclusion, I bought a few things for spring and summer. I am pleased to have them, but now feel both taunted and rebuked when I see them in my closet. They force an existential question: If there is no one to see you, is there a point to getting dressed up? Some … Read more

Dressing Up Whilst WFHing

  The other morning, I told The Photographer, “I need to wear an outfit.”   For those who missed my sneaky weekend post, it’s right here. All readers should share a museum experience and identify the piece of art that — if they were criminally inclined — they would steal for their own.   Sweater: … Read more

Pictures at an Exhibition

  Starting in Week 3 of WFH, I began wearing a belt . . . to work. It made me feel a little more put together . . . for myself. This sobering realization — it might be awhile — led to some self-recrimination for under-utilizing the extraordinary museums within an easy walking radius of … Read more

Not Easily Ruffled

  One of my colleagues wore a necklace to a Zoom practice group meeting* this week. I was so impressed that I put on a belt the next day. First time I’d worn a belt since I began working remotely. Rounding things out, a pair of absurd platform shoes. I think it’s important to wear … Read more
