Life plan: Work until I pay off my law school loans (approx. 1000 years from now), retire to Paris, be a fabulous expat eating croissants and producing mediocre watercolors until I run out of money, then become a crazy old lady who lives in a teepee made from her own clothes and feeds animals in le parc.

Basically I will be the bird lady from Mary Poppins. And this is what I will wear. (Dress for the job you want.)

P.S. Ever notice that white people who move to another country are “expats” and non-white people are “immigrants”? How convenient. Looking forward to positive change in the next 4 years.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Moira Rose

When: December 29, 2020 // Weather: 30s // Real life: working from home

I feel like this outfit was equal parts Beetlejuice and Moira Rose, and really, isn’t that the casual, day-to-day look we’re all striving for?

I got these pants (secondhand) months and months ago, right around the beginning of the pandemic when we didn’t realize just how looooong of a haul this would be. I finally got tired of waiting for an “occasion” to debut them and just wore them at home.

BUT THEN, shortly after taking these photos during our neighborhood walk, someone driving by stopped and rolled down her window to compliment my pants. Totally made up for my cat who aggressively yawned at my designer duds.
