As you may have gathered, I like to shop. A lot. Which means I end up with some things that don’t quite fit, that I wear once and am like, meh. Not feeling it. Most of these notquiteright items are new / nearly new and nice enough brands that I don’t want to just chuck them in…

Ootd: Sweater dress. In May. WHY.
Ah, Colorado. I bought this dress knowing it would be October before it made an appearance but good ‘Ol Colorado weather brought it out sooner. Yea? Maybe weather gods will come take these damn files? I can sacrifice the crazy bone and animal tail necklace (yes it’s real but it’s like 150 years old so…
Ootd: I just can’t
The worst part of Adult is that you have to like, do shit. All the time. Even when you feel like dog balls and it’s raining. Luckily office friend has a Sherlock Holmes couch for self pity flopping. Wearing a cheerful skirt but it’s not working. Even a tweed/ floral combo can’t help me now….
Jail birds ootd
I don’t know what’s more strange- the number of shirts I own with bird print or the fact that I seem to wear them whenever I have to go to the jail. Today I realized it’s a subliminal message to my clients….
Outlet mall trickery / treats
Nothing fills my heart with joy like finding a buried Marc Jacobs dress, in my size, at 80% off (sorry kids, you’re number two on mommy’s joy list, well, top ten at least). There are great online options but sometimes a girl just want to go pet the clothes. Outlet locations are great for finding a fashion…
J.Crew, a love story
Led by perpetually cool Jenna Lyons, J.Crew has become one of my favorite stores. If you’re not shopping at J.Crew because you still associate it with those catalogs from 1992 that show cheerful girls on yachts, you’re making a big mistake. Yes, there are staples like Breton striped shirts (see below) and suits. But also…
Online shopping for maximum badassery at TheRealReal
TheRealReal.com Somewhere in Moscow, the beautiful girlfriend of an Oligarch sits upon a pile of designer shoes like Smaug the dragon. After wearing them once, she is bored and they are last season so wearing them would be очень плохо. She has her maid send them off to TheRealReal, an online consignment wonderland where un-rich girls…
Dress like you mean it-Know your size for online shopping
Oh, internet, sweet internet. Is there anything more satisfying than shopping online when you have no money and are supposed to be working? If you are not a fan of shopping (wierdo) you can still build a functional adulty wardrobe without having to deal with annoying mall people. You have to do some leg work first,…
Dress like you mean it.
Dressing like you live in your car is not okay. Clothing is one of the few perks of adulthood so don’t ruin it with a stained Bugs Bunny t-shirt and “yoga” pants. I may be an epic failure at housekeeping, parenting, anger management, etc. but this bitch can dress! And you can too. No excuses….
