My rants against the slobbification of America are legendary. Flip flops are for the beach. Fleece pants are for being in your house with a cold. Oversized cartoon tee shirts are for never. see? Buying Halloween swag and some milk while not looking like I live in a van. Blouse, Ella Moss, velvet blazer I’ve…
Tag: how to dress
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: Fake Thin-ness
Well, it’s finally sunny here in Denver and…. I have to spend the day at a conference on vicarious trauma. Naturally. To combat the overzealous AC, I wore a little leather/ wool combo jacket by Sachin & Babi which makes me look thing even after my 5th free conference croissant. Jeans, Paige. Brown tank Gap…
OOTD: Mostly just coffee
When motivation is at an all-time low, it’s time for coffee (I think this is #3) and Neko Atsume. I love mixed print more than anything (other than cats and coffee) and this dress does it for me. I took some creepy close ups so you can see the amazing workmanship that went into this….
OOTD: hang me by pussy bow please
Look! I can use my blouse to commit suicide, which is what I want to do after looking at the mess the kids made (see, scenic background). A light shirt under a modest shift or a-line dress is a super easy way to look grown up as seasons transition without having to buy new stuff.
OOTD: Bad news with swans
What does a girl wear on a semi-cas trip to the jail to see clients? Swans. You can’t get too depressed with swans. The pink shoes add a little cheer although not sure how advisable open toe is in a penal setting. Heheh. Penal. Skirt, Ellie Tahari. Sweater, J.Crew. Shoes, Cole Haan. Bag, Kate Spade. Silk…
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…
OOTD: Mixed prints and shoes of doom
On days when I have to go do some yelling in court, I like to suit up and wear a shoe built for stabbing in eyeballs / looming over my opponents. But, like, in a fun way, right? Mixing prints is not as hard as you think. A little clashing is okay but make it…
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….
