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. I had something like this happen before, but I had decided that the … Continue reading Outfits July 1 – July 16 2019
In the summer of 2016, I decided that there was no reason I should morosely look at my reflection every morning and wish that I could have an outfit I actually liked, because as an adult with an actual full time job, I could now (literally) afford to make that change happen.

There … Continue reading Outfits June 16 – June 30 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. I do periodically check on wear counts when thinking about what things are good candidates for purging, but … Continue reading Wardrobe Round-up: June 2019

I took a semi break for the past two weeks by repeating 10 of my recent outfits exactly so that I wouldn't need to spend time … Continue reading Outfits May 14 – June 15 2019
A week late but here it is! Kept a bit shorter on the wear counts but some of the other sections are a bit longer than usual. Boyfriend and I have embarked on a major effort to spruce up our apartment, part of which we've agreed includes downsizing our closets.
