Thursday Outfit: From Lou & Grey

Jun 4, 2020

How are you doing?  For real.  Take a minute to think about how your mind and heart are right now.  2020 has been a real mind melt, and if you never stop to ask yourself how you’re doing, you won’t start caring for yourself until the situation is dire.

In my own life, everything is off balance this week.  I have no routine, no structure, no peace.  And it seems stupid to say it, but one of the few things I can control right now is what I wear, and being able to choose to wear comfortable, pretty things is offering me a little solace.

Obviously, there are far deeper, more pressing issues at hand.  But this is a fashion blog, so whatever comfort we can take from our attire, let’ snatch it up.

At the start of the pandemic, I spent a weekend purging my closet.  And I gave away and sold a lot of pieces that didn’t fit me anymore or weren’t getting worn.  So now, I’m trying to replace them with pieces that will.

Enter, Lou & Grey.  I basically want to replace my entire wardrobe with their new arrivals section.  But here’s a work from home outfit that would keep me comfortable and warm in my chilly home office.

Small Hoop Earrings

Marlknit Cropped Wrap Sweater

Ribbed Maxi Dress

Inne Linen Slides

    I connected so deeply to this: “…if you never stop to ask yourself how you’re doing, you won’t start caring for yourself until the situation is dire.” I sought out psychotherapy and much-needed medication only after my own situation became dire, and I wish I had heard (and followed) your advice many years ago.

    Also, since this is indeed a fashion blog, I have to chime in to say that the gold hoop earrings are just what I’ve been looking for.

    Thank you!

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
