It was a holiday week, so what I wore last week was a mix of nicer, more casual, and appropriate for long car rides and cold sunrises. Monday: Luxe Fabrics Monday morning, I looked in my closet and immediately gravitated towards my black satin caftan from Universal Standard. This isn’t a piece Universal Standard has… Continue Reading What I Wore Last Week: Nov 29, 2021
Since I now have somewhere to go and a mirror to photograph it in, I’ll start sharing what I wore the previous week. For those unaware, I rented office space in my town center.

Chico’s invited me to check out their New Arrivals for October and I was so excited to see a lot of the colors.

And when I saw this spiced red sweater… Continue Reading Spiced Red Sweater Coat and Jeans for Fall
I got a new bag! After buying that stupidly overpriced Isabel Marant bag and returning it, I knew I wanted a more upscale belt bag for fall and winter.
