Comfy Chic

What a great outfit for a Saturday night, right? Yeah. Except I wore this on Tuesday night. OK, here’s what happened… I wasn’t going anywhere fancy or dressy (a pub then a comedy club), which is...

Neon Lace

Why yes, I am wearing a neon yellow pencil skirt. And yes, it was an impulse buy that I made at 8:57pm without even trying it on. I’m breaking all my rules, but it was $18! And I will rock this...

Gatsby Date Outfit

Last week I was at Target getting a Mother’s Day card and I naturally ended up in the accessories section – since it’s so close to the cards and all. Anywho, Tar-Jay had a bunch of 20s-inspired...

90s Flashback

I just got this windbreaker-esque jacket on the clearance rack at H&M for $10. Did I need it? No. But did it give me a flashback to 4th grade when I sported a black and white Reebok windbreaker...

I’ve Got the Moves Like Jagger (OUTTAKES!)

My Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

I tried on these sunglasses one day last week, and I thought they were fabulous. I just thought maybe they were too fabulous, like I would look ridiculous. So I didn’t get them. The very next day,...

Stay Warm, Stay Cool

I used to think wearing long sleeves and shorts was ridiculous. Long sleeves are for cold weather. Shorts are for warm weather. So the only logical reason for wearing them together is if you have...
