It’s been hard to plan consistent outfits over the past week or so, since temperatures have varied between “warmer than expected” to “much colder than anticipated” – often over the course of just a couple of hours – which means I’m usually grabbing heavier jackets or sweaters to wear over long dresses when I’m at […]
Despite my ongoing efforts to manifest more Fall-esque weather in recent days/weeks, it has still been consistently hot out during the day, and the air conditioner in my apartment has remained on (and set to full blast) from the time I’m taking a break for lunch while working from home until I’m getting ready for […]

It’s been so hot these past couple of weeks, so I’ve been mindful about […]
When my mother announced her plans for Easter- a multi-course dinner with multiple options for a small portion of our family- I was ready to kick back in jeans and a sweatshirt or- depending on just how lazy I was feeling- leggings and an long tunic so that I could immediately slip into a post-meal […]
