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”

decorating inspiration
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about reimagining my space. I love my apartment, but change is good and always fun to daydream about. When I was looking at inspiration this weekend on Polyvore, I focused on pushing my style a little bit and trying something new. I may not want to live with theseContinue reading “decorating inspiration”
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”
top five fashion posts of 2013
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”
new outfit: simple sweatshirt
I had a very lazy weekend. My one success was catching up completely on Scandal. While I was holding down the couch, I dressed the opposite of Olivia Pope in crisis mode. Where she was elegant gloves and all white without a chipped nail in her entire life, I was in sweatshirts and blue jeansContinue reading “new outfit: simple sweatshirt”
a visitor and what i wore
My dad was in town over the weekend and I had the best time. We saw A Night With Janis Joplin, went to the High Line, out to dinner at Paulie Gee’s, had lunch on the waterfront. And this is what I wore (to lunch, anyway). I love having visitors now that my apartment isContinue reading “a visitor and what i wore”
