1. 5 Dec


    back to basics last week was just one of those weeks. i’ll spare you the details and share the only one that is truly pertinent. wednesday morning, bleary eyed, i threw on blue jeans and a plaid button down. slipped on animal print ballet flats. topped it all off with a vintage chanel black and white boucle jacket.  the fedex guy at the studio said, that’s quite an outfit. (quite a bad one) it was a default. because favorite blouses are threadbare, and both dress coat and beloved booties have (literally) fallen apart at the seams. i haven’t shopped in half a year but i don’t need to tell you that. you can tell just by the look of it. we all get in ruts. for many reasons. especially w/ work wear because (for better or worse) it comprises the majority of our lives. and i would argue that this isn’t entirely superficial. it’s about presenting yourself. feeling confident. important stuff… so i bit the bullet and got back to… silk pintuck / thomas mason tuxedo shirt / wedge booties

    back to basics

    last week was just one of those weeks. i’ll spare you the details and share the only one that is truly pertinent.

    wednesday morning, bleary eyed, i threw on blue jeans and a plaid button down. slipped on animal print ballet flats. topped it all off with a vintage chanel black and white boucle jacket. 

    the fedex guy at the studio said, that’s quite an outfit.

    (quite a bad one)

    it was a default. because favorite blouses are threadbare, and both dress coat and beloved booties have (literally) fallen apart at the seams. i haven’t shopped in half a year but i don’t need to tell you that.

    you can tell just by the look of it.

    we all get in ruts. for many reasons. especially w/ work wear because (for better or worse) it comprises the majority of our lives. and i would argue that this isn’t entirely superficial. it’s about presenting yourself. feeling confident. important stuff…

    so i bit the bullet and got back to…

    silk pintuck / thomas mason tuxedo shirt / wedge booties
