Scenes from a Friday night…

We started at @littleblackbirddc a new wine bar in Cleveland Park where we had great food, drink, and conversation into the evening. We then headed down the street to @atomicbilliards for a whole different experience and to keep the conversation going. I treasure my friendships with @sylviacolella (who had a birthday recently), @districtofchic, and @blonde_inthedistrict they’re the real deal 🥰

My dress is @adamlippes borrowed via @renttherunway and Cheetos with Sauvignon Blanc is a really fun pairing!

Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

March 1st 2020 vs March 1st 2021 pic.twitter.com/CPzalHWuRm

— Meghan Hug (@meghanhug) March 1, 2021

On Instagram, you can tap Archive and see all your Instagram Stories up to a certain point. Not sure if it's for everyone, but I can go back to December 2017. Since this year started, I've had a habit of checking out the archive of stories I shared this same day a year ago.

before the demic

In January and February, it was reminiscing. Oh, this is the day I was in Joshua Tree National Park, this is the day I attended New York Fashion Week with my friend Sylvia, this is when my kid and I were at the deli near the college campus selling Girl Scout cookies, this is how I celebrated my birthday before a pandemic. Damn, I led an awesome life before all this, I'm glad I looked back, it's bittersweet but also motivating for using the future well.

March is another story. Going back to my archives and looking at what I shared the past few days is haunting. It's like watching a horror movie. We know the killer is in the basement, but the protagonist has no idea and heads down to get a carton of ice cream from the chest freezer.

This past Tuesday was Super Tuesday, 2020, and the day I went for my training to be an election judge. I shared how I and half the room had out bottles of hand sanitizer, but we still sat shoulder to shoulder, sharing the same election machine.

beforetimes

The following days were full of errands. The post office, the grocery store, Target, the tailor. I remember my husband coming home one of the days of March with a case of Clorox wipes, several packs of toilet paper, and two gallons of hand soap saying if we'll need it we'll have it, and if we don't it's not like we won't use it eventually. I took a picture of his stash and texted it to a friend with the laughing emoji but later that day took inventory of our pantry and medicine cabinet and went shopping to ensure both were stocked. Again, if the sh*t doesn't hit the fan, it's not like it all won't go bad.

The anniversary of this weekend was the last time I met up with my three besties for our Sunday brunch. After, I went to get a manicure, pedicure, and brow wax. I remember I did this thinking, well if things end up shutting down for two weeks, I better have fresh nails.

beforetimes 1

That evening I met a friend for a drink; I took a photo of the bottle of hand sanitizer with our glasses of Sauvignon Blanc. The caption? “This is how we cocktail” with a mask-wearing emoji.

My mom has received her two vaccine shots; where we live they're struggling with the vaccine rollout so I am so glad my sister made it her mission to get our mom an appointment. I know it will be a while before the rest of my family and I will get one. It's harder to envision what six months from now will look like than what we were envisioning this time last year.

But reminiscing reminds me of how resilient my family and I are. How good life is and will be. Why it's worth it to keep wearing that mask and socially distance a while longer. How I should continue to trust my gut, and reduce the distractions that make it hard to hear myself.

This has been a hell of a year, and there is no clear light at the end of the tunnel, but looking back has helped me look forward. And hell, it also shows Instagram isn't all bad!

Punky Brewster posters 1 600x889 1

Did you hear they rebooted Punky Brewster? And that it also stars Soleil Moon Frye as Punky and Cherie Johnson as Cherie and has cameos from other characters from the original series? I was a big Punky Brewster fan; I too had brown eyes and brown hair and freckles and loved colorful clothing. She was essentially the same age I was, and she inspired me to be creative and colorful and bold.

punky and cherie old
Then…
punky cherie
…and now!

My husband also has fond memories of Punky Brewster so one evening the whole family decided to watch an episode or two (the whole season of the reboot is available on the Peacock app). Wait, is that the same apartment that Punky and Henry had in the original series? Wait, is that Freddie Prinze Jr. as Punky's ex?

punky brewster andy gibb
Rewatching this episode in 2021 made me all sorts of uncomfortable. A ‘Miss Adorable' pageant, little girls kissing strangers on the cheek…

The show is hokey, but it's meant to be, just like '80s sitcoms. Everything ties up in a nice bow, there is a laugh track, and plenty of weird celeb cameos (fun fact: Andy Gibb guest-starred on the orignal Punky Brewster not once, but twice).

original punky brewster

My husband was done after two episodes, but my kid and I were intrigued and got to about four before we were numbed. We decided to check out the original series; all four seasons are also available on Peacock. I didn't expect the show to hold up… but it does. And it's interesting to see how well in 1984 they handled difficult topics and showed reality (money, the foster system, non-parental guardians, and imperfect homes). Some episodes are meh, but some are better than what is on TV today.

My daughter and I are now flipping between the new and old series, and it makes the new series even better. Now I understand the new series' theme song, I get some of the jokes, I recognize actors from the original series.

new punky brewster

It's also cool to see a woman my age on TV who has a healthy relationship with her ex, is actively dating, has a creative job, is a mom, and shows it is impossible to “have it all” but that doesn't mean you're miserable.

punky bandana belt

While I can't get with Punky's choice of a bandana belt with overalls (what a pain when you have to pee), I love seeing a fellow petite curvy brunette over-40 woman embracing color, wearing more makeup and shorter hemlines than some advice column would say is right for her age, who is on that precipice of still giving a sh*t while having fewer and fewer f*cks to give.

Watching Punky Brewster now and then had me do a bit of research on Soleil Moon Frye and what she has been up to. I found this recent article in the LA Times which is a great read and has me very interested in seeing Kid 90, a documentary about Moon Frye, which is coming out later this month.

valerie june artist

Last week, I flipped on the TV mid-day and saw a talk show introduce the artist Valerie June, saying she's a “fresh new voice.” Huh? Her 2013 album, Pushin' Against a Stone, was on repeat in the Gary household for months that year. Her Tiny Desk Concert from 2013 was amazing. But hey, if more people experience the awesomeness that is Valerie June, go ahead and call her a fresh new voice.

Valerie June grew up in Jackson, Mississippi in a singing family surrounded by gospel music at church and R&B and soul music from her father. At age 19, she moved to Memphis and began performing in clubs while also learning guitar, banjo, and lap-steel guitar.

In 2011 June moved to Brooklyn, New York, soon after met Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys, who co-wrote and helped produce her album, Pushin' Against a Stone. Her sound has been described as a mix of folk, bluegrass, blues, gospel, and soul which feels familiar yet so unique at the same time.

June's second album, The Order of Time, was released in 2017 and was deemed by Rolling Stone Magazine to be one of the top 50 albums of the year. That year in an interview when asked what artists he listened to and respected, Bob Dylan mentioned Valerie June. Not a new artist, a badass, well-respected one who just released her latest album.

The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers will be released on the 12th of this month, but June has already released two singles from the album with videos to go with them. They are below; enjoy this fresh new voice from an incredibly talented, established, and well-respected artist.

    Yeah so funny — I remember checking out Valerie June back in 2013.
    I also loved Punky Brewster (though I was older than her and the target audience when I watched it). I was thinking of re-watching it with my kid, when I heard about the new show.

    So many good articles to read. Thanks.
    What strikes me about your Instagram photos is how much OLDER Emerson looks in one year. I taught 7th and 8th graders in a loop and was always stunned by their growth between 7th and 8th. Guessing she’s about that age?

      She just turned 12 in January and is in 6th grade, but seems to have hit that maturity/growth spurt a bit sooner than some of her friends in the same grade. I remember the summer before 7th grade my feet grew so much and by the next summer my body had caught up!

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.
