Today’s post is a little different! I’ve teamed up with my dear friends Paige and Andrea for a fun little styling session. It’s been a long time since we’ve done one of these, so it was fun to play dress up for a bit and we all needed a little boost after this weird summer.…
Year: 2020
Recyclable Sandals
We just started distance learning on Monday. Thanks to Stevie’s amazing teacher, the week is off to a slow start. It gives us all a chance to get reacquainted with our school schedule from the Spring, and provide transitional tools for our kids. Not much will change from the last round of this, and we…
Monochrome Outfit
Hope everyone who is starting school is doing okay so far! I’ve been so tuned out from time and dates that I didn’t even really realize it was coming up so soon. Today we picked up Stevie’s class supplies from his teacher, and virtual learning starts Monday. While we know what to expect this time…
Peasant Blouse
Today was long and today was hot. But none of what we did is important, other than Stevie’s cardiologist appointment. I don’t know how much detail to give, so I’ll start with this: everything is stable, and we’ll go back in six months. Huzzah! If that’s all you wanted to know, skip ahead. If you’re…
Gladiator Sandals
The heat is on it’s way. BOOOO!!! I was almost starting to think maybe I had predicted our weather patterns wrong. We’ve had such a nice, pleasant start to August I was feeling regrets that I didn’t include more pants in Part 2 of my Summer Capsule. But a quick glance at the report this…
New White Shorts
Stevie and I had a good start to the day, which also felt like a good start to the week — taking a nice long walk this morning. But by around 2pm, we were both in full on meltdown mode. Truly? I don’t know how these next few months are going to look. I’m hella…
30 Wears
From the looks of my Instagram, and how often I reach for this secondhand sweater, I would guess I’ve worn it at least 10-12 times in the 4 months since I started my capsule. It’s definitely a favorite, and one that I think I wear “all the time”. But looking at my wardrobe tracker shows…
Puffy Sleeve Blouse
We usually reserve Descanso Gardens for the holidays, because they have a spectacular light display. But as I’ve been taking suggestions for places to visit while still avoiding crowds (not an easy task in L.A), this spot came up a lot. You have to reserve your time to avoid crowding, but I was still nervous…
Homemade Tank Top
It has been such a huge adjustment for me that during the pandemic my energy is constantly and consistently zapped. Of course, on top of the stress of corona life, I’ve said before that this season is eerily similar to the newborn stage with Stevie, where I am needed at 100% capacity ALL THE TIME.…
Jumpsuit Turned Romper
This is, indeed, a jumpsuit turned romper. Correct me if I’m using the wrong terminology but, in my head a jumpsuit is pants and a romper is shorts. Because clearly… shorts are for romping. I actually liked this when it was a jumpsuit too. But when I got my Everlane jumpsuit, I knew between the…
