Long Read. How to ask if everything is okay when it is clearly not.

We’ve both been getting up early or staying up late (or both) because of work, and lunch is now served at 10:45.  So breakfast for lunch is becoming a thing around our house.  It’s also cheaper than ordering UberEats again.

These blistered tomatoes with goat cheese scrambled eggs are so good.  Add a coarse grain toast and you have the perfect meal.  If you want more greens, just toss in some spinach.

Do your scrambled eggs always come out dry?  The Modern Proper will teach you how to make the perfect soft scramble.

    Aging correctly, what a revelation. I know I’ve been struggling lately with the changes wrought on my person by a spectacularly changed world, and how do we stay as we were before something so monumental happens to us? This is a wonderful reminder that there is no staying the same, we can only embrace the changes and adjust accordingly.

    The podcast, “Pantsuit Politics” had an interview withAnne Helen Petersen (the author of the firstlinked article). Highly recommend the interview and that podcast in general.

    Excellent edit today!!

    Would you ever consider posting pictures of yourself and your outfits? I know it’s not something you do on the site, but I think it might help illustrate the 2/3 ways posts and the outfit suggestions. Would love to see your style in action!

      Sometimes I post them to my Instagram under Real Outfits highlights. Life’s been so crazy lately that I haven’t, but I should start again.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
