As much as I love my brights (follow me on Instagram to see all my annoyingly colorful outfits), I do still appreciate a black dress. But it must be a sassy black dress. The dress needs to be able to roll its eyes at people and make sarcastic comments. Otherwise, it has no place in my wardrobe. This dress is super comfy and definitely sassy. When I wore this dress out last weekend, it made snide remarks about a man who was wearing faux leather pants with Crocs. It wasn’t me, though; it was the dress. I told it not to be rude, but then the dress made a good point: the man was wearing faux leather pants with Crocs.

If tweed-styling were an Olympic sport, I think I’d be a good contender, don’t you? I actually almost forgot there were real sporting events happening now. I thought the whole Olympics this year was just going to be people talking about the Russian doping scandal and those awkward neighbors to the north. And Jamaican bobsledding of course. But that may be because I listen to too much NPR.

What are your favorite winter Olympic events? I know it’s very predictably girly, but I love me some figure skating. Back in the day, I was all about Michelle Kwan. I couldn’t even skate, but I was obsessed with her. This year, I think my favorite part is the commentary from Tara Reid and Johnny Weir.
