Felt inspired to do another virtual capsule wardrobe post, but this one isn't distilled down from a high concept theme like the previous ones, just a basic collection inspired by the concept of walking around a big city in the spring or fall. I went a bit more youthful and tomboyish than I usually go … Continue reading Mini Theme Wardrobe: Lazy Sunday in the City, or “Wears a Kanken Backpack”

I saw the Crewneck Cable Cardigan from Something Navy at Nordstrom (non-affiliate link, as usual) and HAD TO HAVE IT. It combines some of my very favorite things in clothing, which are orange, cable knit, vintage inspired style, and OVERSIZED BUTTONS. I immediately bought it and it's super soft and a nice moderate warmth (it's … Continue reading Styling a 1940s style cropped crew neck cardigan
Last month my partner and I went on a trip to DC and NH. He went to college in DC and I hadn't been there before, so we did all the tourist stuff, ate a lot of great food, and met up with his old friends. I've never seen New England fall before, so we … Continue reading Travel Capsule: 8 days in Washington DC and New Hampshire, October 2019

When adapting a fall aesthetic to less traditionally fall appropriate items, I identify … Continue reading Outfit Feature: Storybook Style, “Fall in California” edition

Starting an Outfit Feature series, where I'll talk about one or two looks, rather than doing big outfit dumps. I still log all my outfits in Airtable and post any with photos to Instagram, but I'm not sure that posting outfit pics every day on Instagram and collecting them all in two-week sets on the … Continue reading Outfit Feature: Sci-fi and fantasy inspired casual outfits
In celebration of the last week of October, aka my favorite week for fashion, I wrote a guide to creating wearable witchy outfits! Yeah, the last one of these theme discussions I did was back in June and also witch themed, but the next couple of posts will be more generic how-I-style-item sorts of things … Continue reading Guide to Creating Wearable Witchy Outfits
Is this even a travel blog post if I'm not plugging packing cube amazon referral links? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who writes travel outfit posts who doesn't mind packing up without them. Got back recently (it was recent at the time I started writing this...) from a short trip to Portland, … Continue reading Travel Capsule: 5 days in Portland, Oregon Fall 2019
I am super behind on posts! I was offline for a bit over a week in at the beginning of the October for vacation. It was great! Putting out this post out first for accountability/so I won't be annoyed looking back at gaps in shopping data. As usual, I don't use referral links. Wear Counts … Continue reading Wardrobe Round-up: September 2019
