The Last of This Summer's Stripes

 As summer is coming to a close I have one more strip-loving look to share with you all. You may recall the sweater from this post. Well here it is again, AND shot in the same location. Same sweater, same spot, different outfit! 












If you look closely you may notice that most of my nails have a French-tip thanks to Ohora. The index finger stick-on didn't make it through the day, but the rest of may nails stayed nice for a whole week. Stick-on Manis may be in my future.

Are there too many stripes? No, of course not! And even those these stripes aren't tone-on-tone matching, it still works because of the contrasting proportions of each stripe pattern. Wider spacing on the sweater creates enough of a visual break from the tighter stripes of the dress for an overall dynamic look!   

Also I love a good tote bag, particularly in late summer into fall. Link above to this tote, which is on sale!

    I think true fashion staples are those that never fade with time, and Favorite Style of T-Shirt for Women Round Neck fit that perfectly. Their smart yet comfortable design gives them a unique place in every wardrobe. You can wear them under a blazer, with chinos, or even with shorts, and they still look perfect. That kind of versatility is rare. The mix of breathable fabric, classic cut, and timeless vibe makes polos one of the most dependable pieces for any generation.

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. You're welcome!

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 ...
