I think it started with these shoes. I think it was my cousin who was like, “Yo. Those are your kind of shoes.” And people say that to me regularly, believe it or not. Only, I couldn’t pinpoint a type of shoe that is “my kind” over any other, but when people say it…I findContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: Yellah edition”

What I Wore Wednesday
So I was driving to work-y stuff today, though Detroit, and I came across this dewd strutting proudly across the street like he didn’t give a good American darn. When he got to the Boulevard and the light turned red and there was no one behind me I snatched this photo. DETROIT IS SO COOL!!ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Print on print/ brown on brown
On Sunday I went to mass and some teenagers were doing a great job lectoring. Homegirl second reading (I think) went up to the ambo with a polka dot shirt and a striped skirt and I was like, “Shut the door, girl, you’re making it count.” Because all of the people know that I’m proContinueContinue reading “Print on print/ brown on brown”
Fake it ’til you make it
Legit, someone texted this to my phone yesterday: “Nell, how are you fairing this winter thus far?” And the answer is: it’s tough and I’m cold and the city seems overcast and covered in a film of salt–so everything kind of looks grey for a lot of the time. And, while I enjoy wearing greyContinueContinue reading “Fake it ’til you make it”
What I Wore on the Wednesday
I had a friend email me these words: “Talk to me about your sense of self.” …because this is the kind of people I know (and don’t think I’m not aware of their goodness/ thankful for them–I’m aware. And thankful). So then I just talked about how I’m trying to find balance in the midstContinueContinue reading “What I Wore on the Wednesday”
Wearing. What I am.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done this, right? Right. And that’s kind of two-fold, the two folds being: The, “hey, I look like this” posts always hit me as a little weird and I’ve been hardcore volunteering/ Jesus-y things all day on Wednesdays now (crack about Protestant Wednesday-night-service? I will not go there. But IContinueContinue reading “Wearing. What I am.”
What I Wore Wednesday: print on print on print, ya’ll.
Remember that baby Julia stopped by last week or so like, “I look really cute,” so I was like, “STOP BY AND SHOW ME YOUR OUTFIT.” She was like, “This is print on print.” Julia explained how a woman came into the bread shop where she was hanging out and the woman was wearing printContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: print on print on print, ya’ll.”
What I Wore Wednesday | Dress
Things have been hipping and hopping and happening. Namely: all of our city and the neighboring cities have flooded and everyone has been hauling everything out of their basements and disposing of it on the curbsides. It’s tough, dirty work. Hard, too, since a lot of things are memory-things, now water-damaged and moldy and takenContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday | Dress”
What I Wore Wednesday
It’s no secret that I love my huge and old Buick…but winter has been hard on it, so this week I’ve been going to car lots and Craigslist ads and test driving all around the local cities. Oy. The hardest part is that I love my car–he’s just, well, had enough. And I need aContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
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”
