For at least 15 years, I owned (but barely ever wore) a single pair of suit pants.  I wore dresses and skirts every day, even when it was below freezing.  So when I was doing laundry last week, I noticed a disturbing trend occurring in my hamper — there were no skirts, and only one […]

Temperatures this weekend will dip below freezing overnight, so it feels like fall.  I won’t be in the office much (I’m on maternity leave but have a handful of active cases I need to keep an eye on over the next few weeks), so I’m on the hunt for chic business casual looks.  And this […]

Next week, my Sister-in-Law is going back to work as a teacher after a multi-year hiatus.  She’s excited, and nervous, and wondering what the classroom will be like post-pandemic (ish).  But we’re trying to make sure at least her wardrobe is on point.
