As I mentioned in a recent post, one of my old summer dresses struck me as too short when I tried it on this spring. This one. So it shall be retired. I wasn’t sure, at first glance, that this geometric eyelet would work, but it quickly grew on me. … Read more
I went through all of my summer clothes on Memorial Day weekend to figure out what needed discarding, repairing, replacing, and wearing. Good news! 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

Continuing our awkward transition from winter to summer, I am relying heavily on cropped trousers and m’ little mules. Three hundred and sixty degrees is not enough! We must zoom in and enlarge. I say Best Vest, but it may be my second-best vest. It’s a close call. Have a fantastic weekend! … Read more
I just started putting away my winter clothes this past weekend. It’s been an unusually long, cold, and rainy spring. I regret to say that the weather changed last weekend to hot and soggy. That was not the change I had been hoping for. Come closer and take a look at what’s going on … Read more
I doubt that you will be surprised to hear that Weight Securing System has become my favorite belt. This Carven jacket needs to get more use, too. Is it dressy? Or casual? The fact that I don’t know suggests a problem, but I have recently decided that it is business casual to dressy casual. … Read more
I was traveling last week for appointments that I felt were more dress than suit. Even though I didn’t want to wear a suit, I knew I’d need a jacket because of the excessive air-conditioning that is now standard everywhere. Whisk, whisk, whisk through the closet looking for the right jacket to wear with … Read more
