Preparing for a pilgrimage part two | Discharge dying

Hey friends!! I’ve been busy and extra busy. Want to know why? Well, I’m planning this pilgrimage, right? I was planning for fifteen people, maybe twenty and it looks like I should aim for forty-fifty people. Yowza. Guess what that means? Making more shirts! I’ve created a sweatshop in my backyard. Kidding. But I haveContinueContinue reading “Preparing for a pilgrimage part two | Discharge dying”

An imagined discourse between me and the makers of U.S. dresses

Yesterday I wore a dress I bought in Spain and wondered why I can’t find anything as nice here in the U.S. This imagined conversation is what followed–between me and the people who decide what kind of dresses will fill the U.S. stores. I’ve dubbed these decision makers the “American dress manufacturers,” and the communicationsContinueContinue reading “An imagined discourse between me and the makers of U.S. dresses”

What I Wore Wednesday

You know what we haven’t done in a very long time? Not since over a month ago, actually? A “What I Wore Wednesday.” High time or high time? Yes, indeed, high time. Shall we start with the skirt? It kind of pops out and grabs the attention, so that’s where we’ll start. I bought thatContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

I wore it, but it’s not Wednesday

The road to heck is paved with good intentions. The road to Hell, Michigan, is paved with asphalt, probably. Anyway! My good intentions were to post TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY with NO STOPS FOR THIS LOCOMOTIVE but then the good-intentions train was derailed last night when I hung out with one of those supah coolContinueContinue reading “I wore it, but it’s not Wednesday”

What I Wore Wednesday

I wore cute shoes too, I promise, the ones with the bows on the toes like Snow White. But, this was after a lunch time excursion, so no heels at the moment for me. Oh would ya look at that: I’m wearing the exact same skirt I wore last time I posted something like this.ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

What I Wore Wednesday–my newest skirt

This is it. This is the corduroy skirt that took a bit o’ emotional energy and real-life energy with it. Vintage pattern missing from the envelope, me making up a pocket pattern, me accidentally cutting something improperly with the fabric-pattern facing the wrong way…whew. No one said it was easy. I’m typing as my friendContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday–my newest skirt”

What I Wore Wednesday. Guys. NEW YELLAH PANTZ.

Before I get started, I need to express some gratitude, ya’ll. My car is one crazy cat. Haters be like, “It’s rusty! You should get a new car!” But, after today’s commute I just want to love on it a little. Because if it was a lady and I was a gentleman I’d totally sendContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday. Guys. NEW YELLAH PANTZ.”

What HE Wore Wednesday–guest post by the one and only Caleb!

This is Caleb and he’s a treasure to the world. Man’s man, family-man, man of the people, Renaissance man and more. Everyone loves him, even puppies. Plus, he has impeccable style. Real-life quote from my brother, Paul, after the Snowball, “Caleb told me he liked my shoes and that he was looking for a pairContinueContinue reading “What HE Wore Wednesday–guest post by the one and only Caleb!”

What I Wore Wednesday. Basically: a costume.

My boss literally said to me this morning, “What exactly are you wearing right now?” And I was like, “Yeeeeeeeeeeeah, so, this was actually part of a costume. But I decided to wear it. Today. Anyway.” And he was like, “It kind of looks like a costume.” and I was like, “Yeah, well, I’ve alreadyContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday. Basically: a costume.”

What I Wore Wednesday and a general lowering of standards

Yesterday I woke up and went outside and, with windchill, it was NEGATIVE THIRTY-SIX DEGREES and as I stood in the cold, my nose-hairs FREEZING (literally, freezing) in my nose, brushing off and moving two cars before I could even get to my own in the driveway, I said to myself under my breath, “ThisContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday and a general lowering of standards”
