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….

Buy boots in May? Hell yea.
Buying off-season is one of the best ways to get good stuff for a fraction of full retail price. This time of year, any remaining boots, sweaters, coats, etc that are still lingering in stores are at firesale prices. Case in point: 4.Collective sweater dress from NM LastCall picked up this weekend. It’s thick…
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: WTF?
Today I’m wearing snow. Because it’s snowing. Like right now. Oh and a beautiful J.Crew pearl necklace.
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…
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…
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….
