YAY OR NAY? CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

yay-or-nay-clothing-subscription-services

It finally happened. I gave this whole “clothing rental” thing a try. Other than a one-item/one-time foray into Rent-the-Runway, this was my first real go at it. I know, I know- I might be the last one to arrive at this party. In my defense, renting your clothes has always felt like an odd concept to me. As a fan of the “shop your closet” concept (which I talk about HERE), remixing my current wardrobe is the way I prefer to go. And if I am going to spend, I’d rather focus on building…

I AM A…

What do you want to be when you grow up? Throughout our lives, we’re asked this question time and time again. When we’re little, our answers tend to be born out of our wildest imaginations. A baseball player, an astronaut, or a princess, we might have replied. (Or, in my case, a ballerina.) When we got a bit older, we were asked again. And as we naturally grew and gained a better understanding of the world around us, our answers became more rooted in reality. A teacher, a fireman, a doctor, we might have answered. (Or in my…

WHAT’S THE WORD?

Going out on a bit of a limb here to admit I hold an unpopular opinion. Brace yourself, because here it comes. New Year’s Resolutions are bull sh*t. (Pausing here to let that sink in.) I’m 100% team self-improvement and self-reflection, but waiting for a new year to identify something we want to be doing better? Nope. Feeling like a failure if you don’t achieve your goal after a few months? Nope. You can read a bit more about my feelings on the topic here. According to an article I recently read in The…

ON THE WILD SIDE

Animal print has long been a style staple in my wardrobe. I vividly remember the first time I chose to purchase something of the like. It was 2001, my sophomore year of high school, and I donned a strapless, floor length Jessica McClintock tiger print dress to homecoming that year. (Speaking of which- who else was a Jessica McClintock fan? Her dresses were the JAM at my high school!) I believe it even had rhinestones on the bodice. And I’ll be damned if I wasn’t proud of that dress. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculous at…

NOTORIOUS LBD

It’s true you can never really go wrong with a little black dress (LBD). And stocking your closet with a few go-to options is one of the smartest ways to do your wardrobe right. Whether dressed up or dressed down, for work or for play, a good LBD is almost always appropriate. And easy. And sometimes you just need easy! But as we all know very well, the moment you realize you’re in need of a really good go-to dress is precisely the moment you won’t be able to find one. (Why oh why does…

I THINK I K(AFT)AN, I THINK I K(AFT)AN

There’s a lot we can learn from The Little Engine That Could. The saying goes, “I think I can. I think I can,” doesn’t it? He thought he could. So he did. And that my friends, is called manifesting abundance.I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about an abundant mindset; about the value of positivity and about what we put out into the universe through our own thoughts. In life, it’s up to us to either see the world as abundant or limited; as glass half full or glass half empty. And I have a…

WELL (JUMP) SUITED

Let’s talk about one piece dressing for a minute- aka my lazy gal’s guide to effortless dressing. I LOVE jumpsuits. Like LOVE. There’s nothing better than having an entire outfit accounted for with one item. It’s a dream when you’re in a rush to get out the door or packing for a trip with minimal suitcase room (both instances of which I spend majority of my life in these days).But as with most good things, this is one love affair that had a bit of a rocky start. To put it plainly, I used…
