Outfits Not Just Clothes

Next month  at the Carnegie Musuem of Art  I'll be attending a screening of the film The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger I hate to be a dilettante, but alas that is the nature of this modern age of pop culture over true art, blah blah blah...

So yeah, their basics do run a bit more than average, but you can be sure of ethical business and labor practices.  And occasionally, they'll have a "name your own price" sale when they have overstock, which is why I recently ordered this: The Artist Smock I'm feeling this is going to be a go-to for work this spring/summer. I juts hope the fit is flattering on my post-baby body. Speaking of which, I've also been feeling the need for less structured more "abstract" garments. I don't know if that's the extra pounds talking, or the craving for simplicity with a twist. You know, like a stylized effortlessness in my outfitting. What does that look like? Besides the above smock, I'm thinking this dress capture...
