What I’m Packing For Spain

Maybe you’ve forgotten, because I sort of have, but I’m going to Spain in less than two weeks.  Life sneaks up on you when curveballs are being thrown your way, eh?  We’ve had a ton of stuff happening with our house (leaky basement being resealed and it’s currently torn apart, a landscaping project that made […]

Workwear From Desk to Dinner – Summer Edition

I love posting about workwear on the blog.  First, it’s gotten so much better since I worked in finance, next, I know it’s super helpful for so many of you, too!  Summertime means go go go; it’s best time to go from your cubicle to cocktails and it’s all about layers.  Your summer workwear can […]

The Perfect White Skirt (And Why It’s An Upgrade For Me)

I received a lot of requests for a white denim skirt for the next #shopyourclosetseries; well, ask and you shall receive.  I do have a traditional, white, denim mini skirt.  It has a raw, cut-off bottom and I like it but it’s a bit…how do you say–youthful.  I actually had the same exact same style of […]
