Here's my lazy-girl's secret shortcut to looking sophisticated: wear just one main color with an accent color (in my case, brown/gold/neutrals) and put on some power heels. Done! You don't even have to stack the bling, since "minimalism is the ultimate sophistication!" I'm not wearing much jewelry... instead I added this huge golden belt for all the glimmer points in the world. And,...
Back in the early 2000s, my super-awkward, super-shy high school self didn't attend prom. It may have been for the best, since I can't even imagine the ghastly outfit I would have assembled with my teenage fashion tastes. (I have the photos to prove it but... ahahahaha oh I suddenly don't think I can find them.) O_O; However, if I had the opportunity...
Happy Easter! Easter is my favorite holiday. It seems like every year the weather is utterly stunning, the temperature just right, friends and family are bustling to and fro for delicious luncheon preparations, and there is so much life all around.

No sooner did I make the switch to monochrome-only, when I spied this bright red embroidered A-line midi skirt on one of my thrift shop raids.

Casual shopping look for a chilly Saturday... I have so many new favorites to show you. First off, following the death of Threadflip, I was devastated... but then decided put away the tissues and try Vinted and Poshmark. I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised... they get lots of action! I can't even count how many sales/swaps I've done so far in just a...
It's hard to believe how such a little thing like a capsule wardrobe could change your life. I truly feel like my life is transformed these days in every area... not just fashion! Who would have thought that one of the keys to happiness is not incessantly buying more and more, but getting rid of all the junk you have so you can...
I've had a major LIFE SHIFT over the last few weeks. I am taking actual action steps to make the minimalist, monochrome, high-quality (not quantity) life of my dreams. I'm working on a new line of moody monochromatic art, whittling down on non-useful activities and projects, and now I've just sold/given away/donated half my closet to achieve the CAPSULE WARDROBE. The last time...
