I resisted bodysuits for the longest time. My sister wore them constantly and I kept saying they weren’t for me, that I’d feel too fussy and then one weekend she talked me into trying one in a fitting room and I have been a convert ever since. So this is my little collection of my […]
I have a confession that my sister loves to tease me about. I carry a big bag everywhere, even when I only need my keys and one lip balm. There is just something about a roomy bag that makes me feel prepared for anything. Maybe it started when my kids were little and I needed […]
I found my grandmother’s scarf collection in a shoebox last spring. Dozens of them, folded so neatly it made me a little teary, and I have been quietly working my way through them ever since. My sister thinks I’ve gone overboard. She might be right. But I will not lie to you, once you start […]
I have always been drawn to the kind of outfit that makes you stand a little taller. You know the one. The look that says you know exactly where you are going and you are in no particular rush to explain yourself. My sister Jenna calls it my “movie villain wardrobe,” which honestly I take […]
I bought my first pair of burgundy loafers on a whim last October. My sister told me they were the color of a good jam, and honestly, she wasn’t wrong. I wore them almost every day that first month. To coffee, to the office, to a long walk that turned into a longer walk because […]
There is one dress in my closet that I reach for more than any other, and it is a simple little shift. My sister always teases me about it. She says I have found my “uniform” and refuse to try anything else. But tbh guys – when something works, it works. And a dress you […]
I bought my first peach dress on a whim years ago, off a sale rack, mostly because it reminded me of a sherbet cone from my childhood. I did not expect to wear it more than once. And now it is one of those pieces I reach for again and again, spring, summer, sometimes even […]
I bought my first little black slip dress when I was 23, on sale, in a rush, because I had nothing to wear to a friend’s birthday dinner. I wore it that night and then I wore it approximately 400 times after that. Here is the thing nobody tells you: the dress is only half […]
I bought my first corset on a whim, standing in a fitting room while my sister waited outside tapping her foot and telling me we were going to be late for lunch. I put it on over a plain shirt just to see, and honestly, I did not expect to love it as much as […]
I have owned the same black denim jacket for about six years now and I refuse to talk about how much wear it has gotten. It is soft in all the right places and the collar has that lived-in look that you cannot buy new. My sister keeps telling me I need to retire it. […]
