My grandmother used to say you could never go wrong with blue and white, and honestly, I think she was right about most things. I remember standing in her kitchen as a little girl, wearing a striped shirt she had sewn herself, watching her hang crisp white linens on the line. There was something about […]
I fell into the brown and grey thing completely by accident. One rainy Tuesday I grabbed a grey sweater because it was on top of the pile, and a brown skirt because it was the only clean thing left, and my sister took one look at me and said “wait, that actually works.” And it […]
I will not lie to you, I never thought I would be the person swooning over a purple and brown outfit. But here we are. It started last October when my sister showed up to brunch in a chocolate brown sweater with a little slip skirt peeking out, and I just could not stop staring […]
I will not lie to you, for years I thought pink and red together was a mistake. Something you did by accident when you got dressed in the dark and hoped no one would notice. Then my sister showed up to a birthday lunch in a rose colored shirt tucked into a cherry skirt and […]

She wore that combination to a job interview and swears it got her the offer. Ever since then I’ve […]
I have a confession. I was a beige person for the longest time. My closet looked like a very expensive sand dune and I told everyone I liked it that way, which was a small lie I told myself. Then my sister Jenna handed me a mustard scarf one October afternoon and said, “just try […]
I did not expect to fall this hard for a color that reminds me of an army surplus shop. But here we are. Somewhere around last October my sister showed up to lunch in a soft green jacket and I could not stop staring at it. She told me she had owned it for years […]
I bought my first camel coat about six years ago and I remember standing in the dressing room thinking, is this too plain? Is this a coat a much older, much more organized woman wears? Guys, it wasn’t too plain. It has become the single most reached-for thing in my closet. My sister makes fun […]
