Time, once again, for a wardrobe challenge! I finally made peace with my closet for the Spring, but feelings have been creeping back in. The ugh, I have nothing to wear type of feelings. I’ve been immensely discontent with my closet the last few weeks and I know exactly why. Hint: it’s never about the…
I have felt really challenged by my clothes lately. Almost 2 years ago, I made the decision to veto any and all fast-fashion purchases (which is essentially cheap clothes made quickly to satisfy a place in the market for the most up-to-date, current trends). But not only that, I wanted to cut back on purchases overall,…
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a confessions post! Either funny things have stopped happening to me, or I’ve lost my sense of humor. Or I’m just too busy to remember anything funny. We had to buy a baby gate for the dog. So that he’d stop pooping in the living room in the middle…
We finally caught up on Game of Thrones. Pretty good show, I guess. Gimme a glass of wine, and it’s the most amazing thing ever put on television. Sometimes I let the dog run around like an insane maniac, for the sole purpose that it makes Stevie laugh so hard that he can hardly breathe. Before…
Who doesn’t love the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?? For a time, I thought I might have to give up shopping there, but guess what? They have an easy search option online to find items Made in the USA. And I’ve rounded up my favorite sale items for you here! Of course, they are mom-friendly, basic items…
Last September, I made a promise to myself to stop buying clothes that were… a waste. No more impulse sale buys, no more cheap junk, no more fast fashion. Once I made a firm decision to do that, I realized I didn’t really even need a seasonal capsule wardrobe anymore. It slowed me down SO…
Nothing like hearing your kid shout “Mom! Penis!!” over and over while driving around because he can’t quite pronounce Prius. It’s gotta be the most common car in LA. I thought it was so weird that they sold succulents at the grocery store. Then I bought two. Because I have a problem. No but seriously,…
This Everlane shirt again, huh? Well, I have to tell you – the shirt and I have been through some stuff. Before I even wore the darn thing, I nearly ruined it with the iron. I was trying to steam it, but our iron is old and dirty and I just ended up squirting yellow…
Yesterday was great and awful, as so many days are. I had a few moments of quiet. Almost ruined my new Everlane poplin tee with the iron before I even had a chance to wear it. Thank goodness I was able to save my mistake. Once Stevie got home, it was quite a scene. He…
Three posts in one week?!! Don’t get used to it. I think the main motivation factor has been that I pretty much hate everything in my closet right now. Even with my mindset to have a small and useful wardrobe, I still have my days mkay? But doing these posts and photos reminds me that…
