Outfits July 1 – July 16 2019

Okay I LITERALLY typed up the ENTIRE post, around 2k words, then the wordpress editor decided to delete the whole thing during my final edit when I was trying to fix a caption, and no amount of cmd+z would bring it back.

Outfits June 16 – June 30 2019

June in San Francisco – aka 50-55F and misting in the morning and possibly up to the low 70s in the afternoon before coming back down. This is pretty apparent in the outfits in the latter half of the month. The more summery ones were weekend outfits since it's warmer in the East Bay. There … Continue reading Outfits June 16 – June 30 2019 →

Wardrobe Round-up: June 2019

Wear Counts I've decided that it's nice to have a collage for posterity, but it isn't really helpful to me anymore to navel gaze around this topic so I'm just going to leave it at the photos.
