I celebrated a birthday earlier this month, and I’m officially halfway to 70. I see my future Golden Girl self on the horizon, and I’m not mad about it. (I’m a Sophia, but less racist.)

My 30s have been great so far. Since entering this decade of my life, I’ve gained about 10 pounds…of wisdom. And speaking of pounds and wisdom, this year I wisely requested a quarantined birthday featuring pizza and cookie cake at home with my wife (a combo Blanche/Dorothy), and it was everything I could have wanted.

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.
