My welcome to Chicago continued with a Cubs game last night. It was so nice out (but yes, a little chilly), and we had so much fun. Wrigley is a quick walk from my apartment, which made a weeknight game really easy to get to and enjoy. The Cubs lost by one to the Pirates,Continue reading “a cubs game and what i wore”

new outfit: thawing out
It is supposedly spring now, but I’m not getting my hopes up. Today is beautiful, sure, but next week there is snow in the forecast. And I am tired, so tired, so so tired, of winter! I’m ready for a break and some sunshine. To take advantage of the weather today, I wore orange wedges,Continue reading “new outfit: thawing out”
outfits of jen from S.
I had a lot of fun reading S., the puzzle book by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. There are many stories within S. besides the main text the Ship of Theseus. I was most interested in the story of Jen and Eric, two students (kind of) who picked up the Ship of Theseus and wroteContinue reading “outfits of jen from S.”
trying out sketching
I am into words. I am an editor, I love to read, and I believe you need to write clearly to convey your ideas even if you’re not a writer or an editor. But words aren’t the only way to share your story. As I’ve seen with The Sandman and all the other graphic novelsContinue reading “trying out sketching”
new outfit: blizzard
Polar Vortex II has kept me in Chicago for a few days longer than I expected. Luckily, I have access to a washer and dryer, so at least my reused outfits will be clean. But the same clothes every day can get a little boring sometimes. To stay warm in the frigid air, I piledContinue reading “new outfit: blizzard”

I’ve continued exploring style this year. Not just for me–I’ve also imagined style for some of the character I’ve read about. And it’s been fun all year long. Here’s my top five favorite looks: monochrome outfit: blue. I love pairing similar colors together, clashing or not. I think this outfit did it beautifully with cobaltContinue reading “top five fashion posts of 2013”
new outfit: sweater weather at work
Today in New York it is rainy and snowy and blustery. But on another day last week, when it was more like fall and less like winter, I wore this sweater to work. I love the colors on it–it looks so fall to me. I paired it with a black pencil skirt and leopard shoes,Continue reading “new outfit: sweater weather at work”
what would death wear
Death is my favorite of Dream’s siblings. Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series has me saying nonsensical things like that and meaning every word. In Gaiman’s universe, our hero Dream has six siblings. I’ve met five of them: Death, Desire, Delirium, Despair, and Destiny. Destiny is the oldest, and he seems like a little bit of aContinue reading “what would death wear”
moma and what i wore
I had SUCH a fun weekend. It was full of date nights and museums and a marathon brunch (more on that later). My favorite museum is the Museum of Modern Art. It has a lot of paintings that I like–and how fun is the design exhibit? On Saturday we checked it out, and this isContinue reading “moma and what i wore”
new outfit: fall colors
Thanks to a 50% off sale at The Loft, I found some new pants. I love the color, and I think they will be excellent for some fall color blocking. I’ve been struggling this fall to dress for the weather. We’ve had a few warmer than usual days and then a few pretty cold daysContinue reading “new outfit: fall colors”
