I bought my first pair of flare leggings on a bit of a whim, standing in a fitting room debating whether I was too old for the trend. Spoiler: I was not. And honestly, they have become the pair of bottoms I reach for more than any other, which I did NOT see coming. There […]
I bought my first black denim skirt on a total whim, right before a weekend trip to visit my sister, and I honestly did not expect to wear it more than twice. That was maybe four years ago now, and I have replaced it once since (the first one wore out at the seam) and […]
