So, what's wrong with this skirt? Nothing, really. It fits well, and the colours are good on me, but I think it's the pattern that throws me off. I feel weird whenever I wear it. I don't feel like myself. And because of that, I seldom choose it. I think I've worn it about half a dozen times since I … [Read more...]
Streaming, flaxen, waxen!
So I am pretty bald. But I wasn't born that way. Wait, maybe I was. But then my hair grew. And grew. And grew until I had a beautiful curly afro ballooning from my cranium for the majority of my adolescence.

(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 18th, 2012
I bought this longish plain white sleeveless shirt from Forever 21 about a year ago. I had ideas of throwing it on over a tank top, or knotting it at the waist, or belting it... it didn't cost very much, so I just threw it over my arm with the other stuff I chose that day. White shirts of this kind … [Read more...]

Almost everything I have on is ancient, but the pants are new-ish. I … [Read more...]
Seriously?
Two days ago, I came home to a Yellow Pages directory on my front doorstep.A Yellow Pages.A big, fat, four-hundred pound Yellow Pages book.

Eco-Chic-ness
Madame starts at a new preschool this week. It's actually at the same place she's gone to camp for the past two summers, so it's not exactly new to her. But schools are different, and have different protocols at various points during the day - the dealings of the lunch and snacks are no exception - … [Read more...]
Executing against my food plan
So I don't know how long this will last, but I totally planned the eating options for the family for the upcoming week. As you noticed in my last post or if this your first time here, welcome!) my food-based frustrations were hitting fever pitch and I was looking to my peers for both company in my … [Read more...]
