Many Happy Returns

Now that I am back to shopping after a year-long hiatus I've become much more selective in my shopping. I've had several posts on items I've ordered and how I plan on styling potential outfits. For this post I wanted to share all of the items I've returned. 
Jacquard Skit from Banana Republic. This skirt was such a trial. I ordered it and returned it, in one size. Not willing to give up as easily re-ordered in another size and when that didn't suit me returned it again.  Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice Banana Republic, then yeah that's on me. 
Altazura for Target shirt. Technically I own this shirt, but I ordered two sizes at the same time to see which would best fit.  
Uniqlo Plaid Pants more pants here. Again, another "ordered 2 sizes" situation and sent back one. However, I think I should have kept the more fitted size...
This Matching Set from Asos was an epic journey. Again, ordered two sizes. Two size tops and two sizes of the bottom. None of it looked good on me, it was not the matching set for this outfitter that was for sure. So I sent the whole thing back THEN after like a month had to chase down my refund. Basically, they thought they had refunded my credit card, but not so much. Pays to keep track of returns just as much as deliveries. Lesson learned! 

Sugarhill Boutique Lighthouse dress from Asos. Only one size ordered and it fit and wasn't horrible looking, but after some serious consideration I think I've aged out of this type of look. 
Landsend Cords I actually ordered 2 different sizes and both went back! Having gotten red cords from Gap featured in yesterday's post. I waited for these two pairs from LandsEnd to arrive before making a final decision, another epic adventure of online shopping.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book   Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come.  Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology,  Not Without Our Laughter ,  is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel  Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...
