This weekend we went to NYC again to see friends, especially the one who is going to be our wedding officiant. We’ve known her ever since we all lived in Portland at the same time, but we moved to San Francisco and then she moved to New York a couple of years ago, so it’s […]
Spotty Coverage
I usually don’t bother to include my purse in my outfit post, because it’s often the same one, but this time I got more creative. Though I have a pile of vintage purses, moving my stuff from one purse to another is usually too much trouble. I literally stumbled across this one, though, and it […]
Out of Season
I know this looks like an appropriate outfit for early fall, but it’s from just last week, when it got unseasonably cold here. Like in the 40s. Everyone’s been saying that this winter was especially bad in New England, and that this spring hasn’t been very nice, either, but it finally seems to be warming […]

Great Lengths
Whenever I wear long skirts or dresses, I get comments from Steven like, “Wow, that’s a long skirt/dress,” and “That dress would be better if it was shorter.” I don’t think he’s a fan of the maxi length. Or are long dresses just man-repellers in general? It’s not going to stop me from wearing the […]
The people have spoken
The voting was 75% in favor of short sleeves on this dress, which was my inclination in the first place, so I chopped them off and hemmed them the other day. I also fixed the fit at the shoulders, and overall it’s quite an improvement. Something tells me I’ll be wearing this one a lot […]
Seventies Style
When I first started to see magazines trumpeting the return of 70s style this spring, I was skeptical. I didn’t think I was a big fan of that era’s style. That is, until I realized that I own and have already been wearing this khaki very 70s wrap skirt. And I love striped tops and […]
Basics
This was a pretty boring outfit until I added my bright pink boots to spice things up. Good thing, too, since it’s been snowing/raining for the last day and I won’t be able to wear these babies again until it’s dry. And who knows when that will be. Shirt: Urban Outfitters Skirt: Nordstrom Rack Boots: […]
More Stripes
I can’t remember whether I’ve posted this skirt before or not. It’s super cozy and I love the vertical stripes. Plus it’s great for twirling! Shirt: Thrifted, collar added by me. Tutorial here. Skirt: Buffalo Exchange Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell The shoes are a little DIY project I undertook before leaving San Francisco, but I forgot […]
