I shared in a recent Friday Shop post that I had dreams of being a “21st Century Mrs. Roper” but didn’t like how I looked or felt in caftans. While the whole internet seems to be in love with the concept of a nap dress, I’ve been gravitating towards elevated athleisure. But with a recent… Continue Reading A Tale of Two Caftans
Wednesday I shared my three day trip to NYC and mentioned we did a photoshoot – well here are the photos!

I justified the cost and the overloaded closet on my job. I needed it all to be successful, right? RIGHT? Wrong. … Continue Reading You May Have Seen This Before…

Friday was Career Day at my daughter’s school. I knew about it but didn’t think of participating. Career Day is for scientists and fire fighters and nurses and pilots, not for bloggers. But then a parent at a nearby middle school reached out asking if I’d come to their school to discuss the real work… Continue Reading Hot Pink Wide Leg Pantsuit with Red for Career Day
