I was tempted to call this post, “What I Wore: Bad hair and too much wind for a photo shoot.” Honestly, if I wasn’t sharing my real life core wardrobe, I’d likely scrap this shoot but this is real life and what I really wore the other day. What I wore was a really bad… Continue Reading What I Wore: Universal Standard Basics
I wasn’t sure what to title this outfit post. Chewbaca Coat? Perfect Pants? The power of a statement coat? Faux Real? I think I should have gone with Chewbaca coat as when I opened my Rent the Runway delivery that’s immediately what I thought when I pulled out this coat. With a statement coat like… Continue Reading What I Wore: Faux Fur Statement Coat
I don’t know what it is this winter but I’m really gravitating towards pastels. While fall I was all about merlot and pumpkin, now that it’s truly cold I want to bundle up in softer shades. And Comfort reached out and asked if I’d like to try their Fika Sweater. While available in black (which… Continue Reading What I Wore: Peach and Cream

Fleece tights, tall boots, slips, Lands’ End Thermaskin layers, and suiting like this ice blue skirt suit from White House… Continue Reading What I Wore: Ice Blue Skirt Suit
I already had the sleeveless version of this sweater and wear it all the time (it was even in my first real life capsule wardrobe). When I saw it came with a sleeve I had to have it (and shocker, added it to my latest holiday capsule wardrobe). I think it’s a great way to… Continue Reading What I Wore: One Shoulder
While I don’t like the taste of a pumpkin spice latte, I do love the color. Not quite orange, not quite brown, the color becomes a neutral like olive green that looks great with other neutrals but spices up jewel tones and makes surprisingly beautiful color combinations. Paired with berry, plum, teal, navy, mustard, red,… Continue Reading What I Wore: Pumpkin Spice
I cannot tell you how long I’ve been looking for a petite leather Moto jacket. They’re too snug and won’t close over my chest, they don’t come larger than a size 10, they’re stiff and boxy, they’re too snug in the arms, they cost a kazillion dollars, they’re covered with all sorts of embellishment and… Continue Reading What I Wore: A Petite Leather Moto Jacket
When I visited Chico’s Headquarters earlier this year, I saw this leopard print faux fur coat and haaaad to have it once it was for sale. Chico’s remembered how excited I was about this coat and sent it to me as a gift a couple weeks ago. While it’s lovely for early fall days as… Continue Reading What I Wore: Chico’s Leopard Print Faux Fur Coat
