About a million years ago, a French blogger that I follow wore a brown polo-style shirt, and I though it so unexpectedly chic so I made a mental note to get myself a brown polo. It was very much an “I saw Cadie Herron wearing army pants and flip flops” moment.

Most polo-style shirts have logos on them, which is not my jam, but I finally finally found what I was looking for. And then…

It had been so long since I stumbled upon that chocolat-clad Parisienne, I couldn’t remember what the hell I thought was so great about a brown polo. A brown polo, you guys. I’m basically twinning with the UPS driver that delivered the damn shirt to me. BUT, I’m trying to be less wasteful, so I’m going to do my very best to get good use out of this thing. Here is attempt #1. More styling ideas are welcome.

If you’re looking for a dress that doubles as a parachute or small tent in a pinch, I’ve found the garment for you. After all, if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that you must be prepared for anything.

Luckily, I was able to stick to using this dress for its intended purposes while visiting the Indianapolis Museum of Art earlier this month. I know most people miss things like restaurants and parties and their families or whatnot, but me — I mainly wanted to be reunited with walls full of beautiful things. If any of my local readers have been thinking of returning to the Newfields campus, I highly recommend it. Everyone wore masks, there was plenty of space, and I felt totally comfortable. And the current Edward Hopper exhibit is quite apropo.
