When I went outside to take outfit photos the weather looked fine. Two minutes later it started pouring so hard I gave up and went back inside. Then the sun came out and it looked like the rain had stopped, so I tried again, and got this. You might also note that I’m wearing boots […]
Sunday Street Style
Socks with sandals, perfectly cropped pants, and pompom hats all sound pretty reasonable, but in reality they’re difficult to do right. Especially the socks with sandals. I’ve never been able to manage that. But somehow these ladies pulled off those styling feats–I think I need to take notes. Top row: Vanessa Jackman, The Locals Middle […]
Outfit Post: Gothy
This outfit is a little bit out of character for me, but the truth is that I just felt like wearing a maxi dress, and I only have two (this one and one in leopard print). I threw on my DIY body chain, and I realized I really liked how it played against the wide […]
Outfit Post: Wine & Paprika
To me, this color combination seems perfect for autumn. And I realized that this dress color is the shade I prominently featured in this Sunday Street Style round-up. But I was surprised when I went outside and realized that it was nearly 80 degrees–kind of warm for a cardigan. Fall seems rather delayed around here, […]
Outfit Post: Leopard-Print and Heavy Metal
When I saw these brand-new leopard-print jeans in my size at my local thrift store, you better believe I snatched them up. But before I got to the register I began to question whether I would actually wear them. It’s one thing to see how cute leopard-print jeans look on Kendi, but another to actually […]
Grown-Up Grunge
Lately it’s hard not to notice that ’90s fashion has been undergoing a bit of a revival. This has been especially notable for me, given that my husband and roommates are creating a video game set in the ’90s. We do things like read Sassy and watch My So-Called Life for reference, and naturally the […]
Outfit Post: Trendsetting?
Sometimes I see a new trend and immediately like it, but often I’ll see one that I don’t initially like but which eventually grows on me. Sometimes it’s hard to predict which ones I’ll end up liking, but I’ve been thinking that peplum tops are not one I’ll ever be a fan of. And then […]
Outfit Post: Denim + Leopard
People tell me that I look totally different when I straighten my hair, and I’m inclined to agree with them. Recently I went to the post office with straight hair and saw a neighbor I’d talked to for about 10 minutes the day before. I said hello, but he didn’t seem to recognize me. One […]
Outfit Post: Interrupting Cat
I was trying to take photos of what I wore today, when I got photobombed. Little Miss Adventurous decided that she wanted to be in the photos, too. (Although she didn’t want to be held, clearly.) Blouse & cardigan: Secondhand (Buffalo Exchange or Crossroads) Pants: Target Shoes: Vintage Coach, thrifted We got Adventurous from a […]
