WELL (JUMP) SUITED

05/30/2018

Let’s talk about one piece dressing for a minute- aka my lazy gal’s guide to effortless dressing. I LOVE jumpsuits. Like LOVE. There’s nothing better than having an entire outfit accounted for with one item. It’s a dream when you’re in a rush to get out the door or packing for a trip with minimal suitcase room (both instances of which I spend majority of my life in these days).But as with most good things, this is one love affair that had a bit of a rocky start. To put it plainly, I used…

FRINGE BENEFITS

It doesn’t matter how old I get- talking about fashion with my friends is always going to be something I do. When I was in high school, it was all about getting ready together- i.e. schlepping all of my “going out tops” over to a friend’s house and trading clothes so we each could have something new to wear that day. For the record, all of this effort was so we could look cute while sitting in someone else’s basement. Hilarious.In college, it was checking in to see who was wearing what out that night…

GET IN LINES

CONFESSION: I could wear a striped shirt every day for two weeks straight (CORRECTION: I probably have) and not run out of options or need to do laundry. No, I’m not moonlighting as Where’s Waldo. And yes, I know you’ve been told they’re super unflattering unless you’re a 6 foot tall Parisian woman riding around town on a bicyclette. But I say, “C’est Faux!” Stripes are my jam. And always have been. It would be the understatement of the century to say that I haven’t gone through my fair share of awkward…

OVER THE RAINBOW

I can pretty much pinpoint the moment that my love affair with gingham began. It was 1995, and I had spent the majority of that summer transcribing the entire Wizard of Oz (word for word) on a giant stack of college-ruled notebook paper. I can’t really give you a valid reason why I did it. The Wizard of Oz is a favorite, yes, and there’s obviously the Judy Garland angle, but decades later the only thing I can deduce is there was something about the music, the colors and the wardrobe that made me yearn to commit…

4 BOOKS YOU SHOULD BE READING THIS SUMMER

Summer reading. There was a time in my life that these two words together made me want to sneak out the window and run away to the community pool. Followed by a trip to the library for a SparkNotes version of whatever books I was supposed to be reading, of course. (If you can imagine being 14 and forced to read Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”, you’ll get what I mean. WOOF).That was then.Wear am I now? Most likely curled up with a book, an e-reader, a magazine, or pretty…
