A Leopard's Stripes and A Stallion of Awesome






This skirt is surprisinly slimming.

ring-JewelMint, necklace-Anthropologie (other necklaces here)


This skirt is so amazing, its fitted without being tight and adds some much needed edge to this shirt/sweater combo. As soon as this skirt came in the mail my immediate reaction was to pair it with stripes to play up the leopard print while also playing down its va-va-voominess. I'm always more interested in wearing pieces against type, pairing the punky with preppy, the sexy with the tomboy, the hard with the soft.  With that being said the necklace adds some art-deco glam to this sex-kitten-on-the-bottom-librarian-on-the-top ouft and was a last minute thrown on when putting this all together.

And I can't even begin to explain how sickening these wedges are.  They make my feet look like hooves, but in a totally sexy way since I am a stallion of awesome! At least that's what I said to a co-worker when he asked what was up with my shoes.

  1. I have a long (below the knee) black pencil skirt like that. It used to make the rounds of my friends. No matter what your body shape or size practically you look fabulous. It's been present at seminars, funerals, speeches, first dates, last dates, church and countless job interviews. It's so old it has come back in style and it still fits or at least will by the end of the month! I need some hot leopard print pumps go with!

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...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!
