This is one of my favorite springtime tricks when the temps climb above 60 weather in the afternoon, but it’s still cold in the mornings: I go sans tights, but wear tall boots to keep my legs warm. The combo also happens to make my legs look really long, which I’m not mad about.

You might recognize this dress from my recent trip to Napa. I’m all for garments that are equally appropriate for drinking wine as for billing hours, as those are my two main activities.

Grace Under Pressure

When: a couple weekends ago // Weather: just barely springy // Real life: walking around Newfields, enjoying some nature (and the beer garden!)

My old-age goal is to be Jane Fonda in Grace and Frankie. Personality-wise and martini-wise, I’m pretty much already there. Beauty-wise, I will never catch up but I’ll do my best.

Style-wise, Grace is more classic and better at sticking to a nice, clean look. Lots of white button-ups, neutral colors, and high-quality basics. For now, I’d rather enjoy what remains of my youth (about 3 days, by my calculations) and keep experimenting with different things. But the other day I ended up in this outfit and felt like I was getting a nice taste of my senior self. The future looks bright, kids.
